The second thing is I just started reading Pale Girl Speaks: A Year Uncovered by Hillary Fogelson. I am already connecting to the book and I am not even 20 pages in. Hillary says, "I told her everything a child never wants to have to tell a parent." She is refering to telling her she had cancer. I fet the exact same way when I had to tell my mom. It is heartbreaking. On a brighter note, I can't wait to delve deeper into the book. Check out PaleGirl's website!

My third and final thing I want to mention is the wedding I was so lucky to be able to attend and be a part of this past weekend. My boyfriend's brother just got married! Congratulations once again! Two reasons this makes it in the blog, 1) The bride looked gorgeous 2) This was the first big event I have attended since melanoma came into my life. Normally I would have tried to get bronze during the summer and then continue working on my tan at the tanning salon. Obviously that didn't happen this time, but more importanly I felt beautiful sporting my porcelain pale natural skin tone. When my mom and I were dress shopping this dress was the only one I told her I didn't feel like a pale ghost in. I think I am finally starting to embrace the real me :)
