TAYLOR SWIFT - is the BEST ever!




HOW did this happen?? 
I still cannot believe it...

 It all started with Mia's twitter - @pray4miraclemia
Someone who follows Mia's story and who is a benefactor to:


wanted to BLESS Mia and sisters with 4 tickets to
Taylor's Swift's #ReputationTour
staring out in ARIZONA of all places!
They wished to remain anonymous, and to this day...
we have no idea WHO this amazing nice person is.
(This just proves that there truly are good people in this world!)
 SO...a while ago, 
I was thinking of ANY possibility that these girls could somehow
get to a meet and greet??
Someone from the Banner Health Foundation - 
on behalf of Mia, just sent an email...
no promises or anything, just saying here's Mia's story,
it is what it is...she NEEDS s bone marrow transplant to be cured

(hence BE THE MATCH)

because with every blood transfusion - that saves her life -
more deadly iron is packed onto her organs, mainly the heart and
liver...which causes... the D word.

None of Mia's 3 sisters are a complete bone marrow 'MATCH'
for Mia...around the whole world...there was one lady who was
CLOSE, a 29 year old female in Europe...that was a 9/10
but Mia NEEDS a perfect match, a 10/10.
We know you are out there somewhere!

If you are reading this...did you know the all it takes is a simple 
'cheek swab' of your mouth to see if you 'match' Mia -
or someone else who needs a life saving transplant to survive.
AND to make it even better...it's FREE if you are between 
the ages of 18-44 yrs old - they will mail you a cheek swab
kit to your house, it really couldn't get any easier.
People just don't KNOW about it. 






The 45 minute drive to Glendale took 2 hours!




They almost didn't make it...but look how excited they are!!









Oh my gosh...here's a flash back to the 1989 tour!!


Look how little they were!


Naturally, I wrote a poem to say how THANKFUL I am 
to everyone who made this possible!!!
I can't explain how making MEMORIES means so much to me.
Maybe it's because I am too aware of how fleeting life
can be...every moment is special and that time spent together
should be cherished!!


Thank You - Taylor’s Team


It’s hard to find the right words that truly convey,
My thankfulness to you for a very special day.
I’m not exactly sure how it all was arranged,
All the emails and phone numbers that must have been exchanged.
To give my 4 girls an unforgettable night,
When people take time to help others the world is alright.
What a surprise to meet and greet THEE Taylor Swift,
You’ve given my girls an exceptional gift.
The memories they made at the #repTourGlendale show
Means more to my family than you will ever know.
It’s hard to watch your daughter struggle through this life,
Mia handles it with grace despite all the strife.
She truly has ‘bad blood’ who needs a cure you see…
That’s why I wanted to reach out and say thank you to Tree.
For making the meet and greet possible…and to Nikki in Nashville, 
You gave an experience to my girls who are completely thrilled!
They had the time of their lives singing and dancing at the show,
They still can’t get over it…you should see them glow.
A bone marrow transplant is what Mia needs to be cured, 
Until then she relies on blood donors - what a life she’s endured. 
Taylor Swift is more than a singer who rocks the stage,
She makes life easier to the masses, people of any age.
They will forever remember the night of May 8th,
It’ll remind them that all things are possible, just keep the faith.
Thank you, thank you, thank you…I could just cry.
It proves you can do anything if you just try.
Thank you to Taylor Swift for being so incredibly sweet,
Especially to my girls at the Glendale meet and greet!

Mia at the D'Backs -1st Pitch



Mia and her BFF Clare ready to go at the D'Backs Game!
The Mix 96.9 gave us all shirts to wear, SO awesome of them.



Ready to go on the field girls?


They really had so much fun!


Mia & Clare


Welcome to 90's night!


One of the cool parts was that Mia got to meet Sugar Ray
aka Mark McGrath since he's doing a 90's concert after the game.
SO FUN!


Pics pics pics!


Too cute...


Literally just hanging out on the baseball field.


Thanks to friends who took these for us!


Waving to the sweet lady who put the words on the back of our
shirts for free! Mia said she'd wave to her, so sweet.


Go Mia!


I'm sure Matt always thought he'd be the one to be pitching 
out there in the field...but no, it's Mia!



After, Mia had the catcher sign the ball and Mark McGrath!


Ok, mom...seriously...what are you saying??


Haha, so fun!


Nice to meet you Mark, you rocked the concert, loved it!


Elevator selfie!


Mia and Clare = ice cream

You can CLICK HERE - Match4Mia 


One day she will find her MATCH!


After the D'Backs sadly lost to the Cubs, we went outside
to the Pepsi VIP area for the 90's concert.


We had SO much fun!!! 
Mom and Dad might have had a little too much fun while feeling
old. Haha! Thank you so much to everyone who made this so awesome for us!
ESPECIALLY the Mathew Blades Show!!




BE SURE to watch this VIDEO of Mia's interview on the radio
and Mia throwing out the 1st pitch!! SO MUCH FUN!

That a GREAT memory together as a family!


We had awesome suite tickets with a great view...!



Thank you SO SO much, you know who you are!

Living Life - Summer 2017


When you donate blood...you give people memories with their
loved ones that will last a life time.


Such as: Paddle Boarding in Newport's the Back Bay...



SO fun!


July 4th on the beach with friends...


Watching fireworks off the Huntington Beach Pier.


Putting your feet in the Laguna Beach sand...


Sitting like a Mermaid on the rocky shores...


Looking like an Island Princess...


Watching sunsets with family...


Spending quiet time at the Ocean's Edge...


Looking for sand dollars in the sea...


Breathing in fresh air...


Living Life...!
