MERRY CHRISTMAS!

My scan results were good, everything stable and nothing new. We truly feel blessed, and are looking so forward to our visit from Santa. We will have a full house with family and friends tomorrow.
From our family to yours have a wonderful day.

Merry Christmas!

Over a year....

It seems hard to believe it has been over a year since my recurrence. I honestly never imagined that I would still be in chemotherapy or that my body could tolerate it this long. We really have simply accepted this as a way of life. It took a while but we have made adjustments, we plan things around my Doctors appts. and where I am in my treatment schedule. If we don't we are very quickly reminded that I simply cannot keep up and it is o.k. I am in the middle of Cycle 4 of Zeloda so it is time for more scans of course we are anxious but I really don't have any expectations. God has a plan and I simply follow taking one step at a time, and continue to power through.

This Christmas we are having dinner at our house and we are all really looking forward too it. The Switzers are planning a trip in February and I am hoping Tami will be able make a trip then too. The Childers may be here before the first of the year, Terri has work in Florida so she drops in when she can. Tori is taking some much needed time off of work and will do her yearly baking for all of us too enjoy. The Kelleys, our dear friends will be joining us this year for Christmas which will be very special. Barry has been promoted and the family is moving to California. This is both exciting for them and sad at the same time. Our families have kind of grown up together, I worked for Barry at West Marine right after Luke was born and we fast became part of each others families. We are certainly going to miss them. Maybe the fishing will be better in California we will have to wait and see. Barry and Brett sure fished alot together, or so they said they were fishing, but I am still waiting for that really good fresh caught dinner.

It will be a full house and we can't wait!
