Once again, I can't believe it's been over a month since I wrote on this blog. I should be ashamed of myself!!!! I am. I've been busy. I've had Herceptin a couple of times, a measurement on my little cancerous area under my clavicle, done a lot toward Relay for Life, loved my family, loved my God, loved my friends. Yes, I have a resistant area under my clavicle that is being hard to get rid of. I'm on the Herceptin and now changing my diet to help in fighting the cancer and getting rid of it. I'm eating many more veggies per day and week and also more fruits daily and weekly. Whole grains, cutting down on sugar and sweetners. I'm doing well and I'm losing weight. I'm enjoying time with everyone I know and love. We had a nice Valentine's yesterday. We ate dinner with Kimberly and then went to a hockey game. A lot is going on with Relay for Life-getting our church team started, trying to fundraise, enjoying life as God gives it to me.

I hope you all have a blessed week. We are showing the movie Courageous on Saturday evening at church. If you live around me and haven't seen the movie, come to our church. It starts at 6pm and we're having a snack bar with hot dogs, nacho's, etc. God Bless You all!!!!

Hi everyone, I can't believe, again, how long it's been since I have written. How time flies whether or not you are having any fun. We had a wonderful Thanksgiving and Christmas. I went to Phoenix after Thanksgiving to see my cousins and my aunt. I had a wonderful time and it was so good to spend a few days with them. Caleb and Caitlyn were here over Christmas and again we so enjoyed their short visit! They were here 10 days and that wasn't long enough but for us, the time is NEVER long enough. They are such sweet kids and we love them dearly. Carlos and Deborah were here before Christmas. We had such a great time meeting Deborah and showing them all the changes that have been made around here through the last few years!! We hope to see them again sooner than later!

I'm doing well. Almost cancer free. Still on my Herceptin and that will continue indefinitely. I have 2 residual spots and one is shrinking. The other is under my clavicle and it's grown a little bit. They are watching it and trying to figure out if it's puffiness is due to cancer or other autoimmune disease process like allergies, arthritis, etc. I'm going to get my hair cut Monday at the Survivor Gals place. First haircut in about, oh gee, at least 1 1/2 years! I'm anxious to see what it looks like and if it retains the curls. I sure hope so.

The kids are all growing like weeds and I'll be sure and include pictures of everyone. Caleb 10 1/2, Caitlyn 61/2, Zachary almost 3, Sadie, 10 months. The kids all had fun at Christmas time!

Christopher is planning to marry next summer. Happy for him. I think a lot of Staci and I know she loves his kids. She is a teacher and is about to finish up her Master's Degree. He's still working and enjoying his job.

Kimberly and Les are good also. Kimberly is working still with Pampered Chef and is becoming rapidly a VERY good cook and enjoys baking. Les works hard daily and has so much fun on his off days with his children.

Bryan is trying to get a parttime job to give himself something to do. I hope he find's one. He's applied to one of the local thrift stores so we'll see. He'd LOVE doing that sort of thing-turning 1 man's trash into another man's treasure!!!

Now, that you are pretty up to date on us, I'll post pictures and go. Have a blessed day and remember Jesus is the reason for ALL seasons!!!!!
