Can you imagine being in high school or college and suddenly learning you have cancer?  You thought you had a lifetime ahead of you and the whole world at your feet, but suddenly you’re told… maybe not.  How would you cope?

 
That’s the question the twenty young people in this book had to answer when they were diagnosed with childhood cancer.  Perseverance tells of their trials and tribulations, of their triumphs, and of the unique challenges that day-to-day college life brings them.  Perseverance also provides an intimate look at the lives and journeys of these young people and how their courage and strength have affected the lives of others.

Twenty unique and fascinating stories, with one common theme: perseverance. The stories of these heroes demonstrate how anyone can learn to live with energy and passion, regardless of the obstacles to be faced, and will remind us all that now is everything.  

I found this book to be very encouraging, and heartfelt. That if someone that young can fight so hard and still achieve goals anyone with cancer can. This book was a tear jerk-er, but well worth it to hear all the amazing stories.

Rug doctor that is!

Originally established in Fresno, California, Rug Doctor relocated its corporate headquarters to Plano, Texas, a suburb just north of Dallas, in 1998. The company has grown from a regional West Coast operation to an international manufacturer and marketer of the most convenient, compact, and powerful hot water extraction carpet cleaning machines and products available today. Present-day U.S. operations include a main manufacturing facility in Fenton, Missouri and more than 35 warehouse distribution points and service centers around the United States.  

Expanded distribution and sales of machines have allowed a growing number of vacuum cleaner sales and repair shops to offer Rug Doctor carpet cleaning machines for sale. These shops also serve as repair centers for machines if needed. Rug Doctor carpet cleaning rental machines and a full line of Rug Doctor carpet cleaning products can be found in over 33,000 grocery, drug, hardware, and home center stores across the U.S.

I got to test out the Rug Doctor mighty pro and also received a bunch of cleaning products: i received two of each of the following anti foam, carpet cleaner, upholstery cleaner, urine eliminator, spot remover and red remover. i also received a upholstery cleaner attachment and a urine indicator light.

First i decided to clean my chair, since it’s never been cleaned.

It was very simple to use the attachment and worked very well. even my husband was impressed with the results of the chair.    I plus the water after i was shocked at how dirty it really was.

The results   

turned out great and a lot cleaner as you can tell!

Now we just moved into a new apartment so my carpet is not really dirty, but my kids have managed to make a couple stains. that i went ahead and used the steam cleaner for.                                                                   

the results:

it worked very well on the carpet as well, my only complaint is that it only moves backward. you spray and then clean with the machine going back. you have to lift on the back two wheels for it to move forward.

It still works great though and will last you forever.

you can purchase this machine here, and right now they have a great deal going on. if you buy mighty pro in one payment you will receive free cleaning solution and attachments. a $250 value!
