What a couple of weeks!

It has been a crazy couple of weeks to say the least. Now, thanks to all of you and your thoughts and prayers, I am on my way to better health. I am working every angle of this, fighting like I know how. I'm an athlete and a very stubborn athlete at that. This Lymphoma is not going to take me down. I like to win and that's what I plan on doing. I am having a great weekend. I was able to go to Hunter's basketball game yesterday. That was a thrill. He played so good. He has been practicing every day this week for atleast 2 hours a day. Lay ups, jump shots, even trick shots he has been practicing hard and it really paid off. He made about 20 points and 4 fast break lay ups where he looked like a pro. The coach pulled him in the fouth quarter because she didn't want him to run up the score. He also balanced his scoring with great passes and even passed it to a girl that was wide open so that she could make a basket. He was awesome and it was fun to watch.

I wasn't able to get video of the fast breaks because they happened so fast but these were good videos. Then in the afternoon we went for a boat ride and a little fishing. Landon had his new fishing pole (fishing poo as he calls it). The weather was absolutely beautiful. It was calming, relaxing, and just the perfect place to be recovering. I loved it.




Thank you again. Keep all the prayers, well wishes, crossed fingers, everything coming. I will keep working on things from my end. Love you all!

Merry Christmas

This year was really special because my sister Erica spent it with us. At one point we were afraid that she wasn't going to be able to get out of Seattle because of the snow. She was determined and we both stayed positive throughout. It is amazing how good things come out of staying positive. I love it. Here are some of the pictures and videos of Christmas morning. I got a little lazy getting the pictures on here because Erica used her i phone to instantly send pictures to most of you.



I was very impressed with Hunter this year. He was very simple and only wanted a set of books from Santa. I read a note he wrote to Santa and he was more worried about Santa bringing Landon something cool. I love the thoughtfulness and the brotherly love. They are two special kids that had a lot of fun on Christmas morning.
