Hey Y'all!
My name is Macy Boe and I currently live in Austin, Texas. Which is by the way the coolest city ever. :)  I am a freshman at Austin Community College and I am a Nursing Major. I want to be a Pediatric Oncologist, which is a Nurse that works with young children who have cancer. I know, I know, why would anyone want to have that job right?!
Well little background on me and my life. I am from a single mother home, my biological father was a raging alcoholic and abused my sister and me until he finally left us. I remember the day perfectly, I came home from school and checked the house phone voicemail. (I do not know why but I absolutely loved to do this). Then I heard a lady ask for my dad and say that she missed him and wants to know when she can see him again. At that point, it hit me. I was nine years old and I knew that my dad was having an affair. It was the worst time in my whole life. After he left, my mom and us moved from Phoenix, Arizona to Chandler, Arizona and tried to start all over again. My dad was trying to get back in our lives but I had no desire whatsoever. Years went by and not a word from him besides occasional birthday and christmas texts- never a phone call. I really did miss what it felt like to have a dad even though mine was not really the ideal father figure. My mom started dating and this bugged me more than I can even say. I was very young and was being selfish. She eventually hit it off with my uncles roommate from SMU. His name is Don, I mean it when I say this, he has been the biggest light in my whole life and I truly and honestly don't know what I would do without him. Well there is only one issue, he was diagnosed with bladder cancer twelve years ago. This did not bug my mom and they dated for about four years before he finally popped the big question. Oh and by the way he lives in Texas. After they got engaged my mom, my sister, Lucy and I took on the big move from AZ to TX. I was so nervous but excited at the same time to start fresh and leave the heartache there in Arizona.
I will never forget the day we moved, it was a hot summer day and it was the scariest day of my life. After finally getting adjusted and meeting a group of awesome solid girls, which took several months, I feel so blessed to have the life I made in the past few years.
Now being a freshman in college, my dads cancer is worse than ever. It has now spread to his kidney and there is talk of them having to remove his kidney (which is his only one). This means that he has to go on dialysis and probably cannot work. Throughout all of this I know God is on my side and His plan is the only way. We are all strong in our faith and I know it will all work out the way it is supposed to. I am scared to death about what is going to happen but I am taking that leap of faith with God.
I just wanted y'all to get to know me and I plan on blogging every wednesday about my life and also I am a huge sucker for make up!
xoxo,
