Good Saturday morning!  I had a wonderful day yesterday hanging out with my son Jeff.  He is so cool and sweet.  He and I went to the mall for a little bit and walked around and bought him some stuff.  Then my daughter Jenna had us over for dinner last night.  She is such a great cook and loves to cook for people and entertain.  So I had a day that is my favorite kind.....hanging out with my family!  I thank God for them and for how close and loving we are.  My sister and Mom are coming down today to spend the weekend.  We have a great day planned for Mother's Day tomorrow.  I will tell you about it then.

Congratulations to Alexa Olstowski on graduating from college today in Texas.  I am so proud of you!   Thanks Peggy Dale for the beautiful flowers and the wonderful visit yesterday.  You keep me encouraged!

I hope you all have a super fun Saturday!  What are your plans for this weekend???

God is Good!!!!

Good Friday morning!!  It is hard to believe that my last treatment is next week and that I still feel so weak from my last one.  It was to be expected, but still hard to live through.  I try to get out at least once a day (for my sanity) and do something.  But as soon as I get home I am down for the count the rest of the day.  God is really teaching me much through out this slowing down phase.  When we are always in such a hurry we really don't stop and appreciate all of the little things and miracles that God does for us each day.  I have had to stop and smell a lot of  roses  these last  few months and I have learned that life is too short to worry about petty things.  We need to make each minute count and to really love all of those around us and to forgive and move on.  Before you get out of bed tell yourself that today will be an awesome day and what can I do to make it even better for those around me.

Thank you Terrie Olstowski for taking me out yesterday for a morning of pampering, laughing and eating.  I had a blast and can't wait to do it again.

Thank you Pops and Jodi for dinner last night.  It was great!

Have an awesome day and weekend!  Remember that all of us Mom's need a lot of pampering on Sunday!  :)

Good Morning!  I had a pretty uneventful morning yesterday.  Pretty much rested and puttered around the house.  The afternoon was great because i FINALLY got to see my daughter Jenna for the first time since my last treatment.  It has taken her this long to get over that nasty virus that she had and we just couldn't take any chances of me being near her.  Jenna and I are so close and it was killing both of us not to be together.  She came over yesterday with her puppy and we sat outside with cool tall drinks and just enjoyed the outdoors while the dogs played.  I am so happy that she is well in time for Mother's Day too.  My three children (I am including my son-in-law Ryan too) are the biggest blessings in my life. 

I also wanted to share with you about my chemo angel buddies.  There is this program called Chemo Angels that my sister Monica found out about and she signed me up for it  a couple of months ago and it's where you are assigned two angels.  These angels truly are angels.  They send you cards, gifts and encouragement constantly.  My chemo angel Linda has been a God send.  She and I just became instant friends fast and she has been one of my main cheerleaders.  And she prays for me daily.  Cool huh?  I appreciate her so much and because of her I want to be a chemo angel to others as soon as I am well and back on my feet.  My angel Linda lives back east and my other angel Rose Marie lives in Texas.  If you want to know more about it just let me know.

Could you all please pray that I get mentally ready for my last treatment.  It is next week.  May 15th and 16th.  Also about my anxiety issues too.  Thanks so much.

Have a wonderful day!  God is good!

Question for the day:  As you know I sit around and watch a lot of movies so I want to know a few of your favorites so I can add them to my NetFlix.  Please tell me of some good ones, old or new that you have watched lately that are good.  Thanks!

Good Morning!  How is everyone today?  I am getting a little better everyday.  Still pretty weak, but better.  I finally slept through the night last night.  Been a long time since I have done that.  I have cabin fever something awful.  So my sweet friend Randi Stilwell invited me and a couple of girls to her house last night for some pizza and ice cream and to watch a movie.  It was so nice to be able to lay on someone else's couch for a while, look at someone else's walls, and have a wonderful, relaxing time.  Thanks Randi!  That is exactly what I needed.

I really want to thank my friend Margie Van Decker and family for what you did for me.  What a huge honor that is!  I feel so special and that really touched me.  Thanks for the pictures of your girls.  They are gorgeous!

Thanks to everyone of you for keeping me in your prayers, for caring so much, for taking such good care of me and my family.  Thank you for still sending me encouraging notes and cards.  I love getting them.  It makes my day!  I thank God everyday for all of you.  Thanks for coming on this journey with me and for staying on this journey.  I couldn't of done it without you.

Question for the day.......What is your favorite thing to eat for breakfast?

God is Good!
