"Tomorrow, tomorrow, I love ya, tomorrow.."

"YOU'RE ONLY A DAY AWAY!" This is too crazy and exciting! Just a quick update to announce to everyone, I AM OFF TO ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI TOMORROW!

After being home for 330 days, in and out of the hospital, and on a "road trip" from hell, I am SO excited to finally be taking the Road Trip with my parents to SLU! Saint Louis University has been so accommodating, generous, and thoughtful throughout this whole experience and I am so proud to be a part of the SLU community. I am also pleased to announce that I will be returning to cheerleading! So if you ever want to tune in to watch the 11-3 Billikens, check out the cheerleaders and dancers on the sidelines, and you might see a girl with short hair out there!

I am so excited for all this positive change in my life. My leg keeps getting stronger and stronger and I am finally feeling like myself again! Back to good health and I plan on staying that way. The next time I will be home is for a quick 2 day trip to cleveland for spring break on March 9-11. I have my 3 month post treatment scans and check ups again. Hopefully if the Bills keep playing great I will be consumed with post-season play the month of March! GO BILLS!

Thank you all again for the prayers that have pulled me through this. I am finally to the moment in time where I can start my life again. I am moving in Wednesday, and you can find me in Chaifetz Arena on Thursday night for my first game back! Bills take on UMass! I hope everyone had a great holiday season and a very Happy New Year, there's so much to be thankful for. So thankful my friend Mikaela is about to start school next week and have her LAST CHEMO TREATMENT! SO proud of you, girlfriend! Sarah is also finding out she can go home after a 4 month hospital stay before her bone Marrow transplant! Continued prayers to her and all those still fighting. To all my friends studying abroad, take the world by storm! I'll miss you in my return to school, but so excited to watch all your adventures unfold! Thank you everyone, to all my friends and family at home, I truly will miss you. Funny how leaving for college a second time is actually more difficult.

Goodbye to Cleveland and all its love,
..."Meet me in St. Louis"

XOXO
Emily
