My sister Malia (or Mia or Mimi) came to visit for the weekend. It was great to see her although she is probably going to kill me for posting this picture of her on the internet. But what do I care she is two states away ;) We had a nice time just hanging out around the house and arguing with each other as we always do :) But deep down we love one another. Can't wait for her to come back again!
Also had a big bday party for my step-bro Kevin, step-sister Bryn, and her husband JJ. There were about 20+ people here at the house enjoying good food and drinks and just good company in general. After the party my step-sister Brooke took me out with her boyfriend Jake and her friend Joanna to arguably the most ghetto bar in the City of Mesa. But we made the best of it and still had a great time. It was great to get out of the house and hang out!!!
Still waiting for the next treatment to take place on August 25th-29th. Not that I want to do it, but I know that it is something that I have to do and just want to get it over with! Hopefully this will be the last chemotherapy treatment that I have to do before they begin the bone marrow transplant process but it is going to be up to the scans and how my body has reacted to the treatments so far. So cross your fingers for me because this treatment is pretty killer compared to what I went through back in Hawaii. On a lighter note, one of my favorite bands Pepper from Kona is coming to town on September 5th along with Slightly Stoopid, so hopefully I will have my strength back to go and check them out with Brooke, Jake and Joanna!!!

Decided to shave my head out of boredom. Still contemplating the short mohawk as this will probably be the only time that I can get away with it since I have no work and don't really know anyone here in Arizona...

Whatup Alika...we are all praying for you and miss you homey. Definitely think you should rock the mohawk out in AZ. Thanks for continuing to update us throughout this as we are always thinking of you.
Alika,
I saw this quote today and instantly thought of you:
"The measure of our future success and happiness will not be the quality of the cards we are dealt by unseen hands, but the poise and wisdom with which we play them. Choose to play each hand to the best of your ability without wasting the time or energy it takes to complain about either the cards or the dealer or the often unfair rules of the game. Play both the winning and the losing hands as best you can, then fold the cards and ante up for the next deal!" - Joe Klock
At this point in the game, you're already a pro. Keep fighting the good fight, Alika!
With love,
Laura
Are you talking about a faux-hawk or a duck butt? The second I saw that picture I thought to myself "she's going to kill him for posting that".
Fun times this weekend!!
Rock the mohawk Alika! Do it!!
Sounds like you're doing well and it's great to hear that you can get out and check out the ghetto bars in AZ...hey, after Lake City, it can't be that ghetto can it?!?!
Love you, miss you!

Umm, the bar was more like Aurora Ave ghetto than Lake City Way... Let's just say we came to the conclusion that 95% of the people there were on crack and we were the 5% that weren't. It was that bad, never again!
i am so hot.
