It's Hannah's 11th birthday today. Doesn't seem possible that we were gathered in the hospital waiting for our little Hannah to arrive eleven years ago!
Mom and Dad left this morning after Greg went to work and the house was very quiet without their cheerful voices. I am so thankful for them and so glad they could come to visit for a few days. We enjoyed Mom's cooking and she cleaned my floors and vacuumed and she worked in my kitchen yesterday and organized some scary places. Like under the kitchen sink. And the place where my pots and pans are stored. She was very happy to find a special frying pan she'd been looking for. In the very back of my pots and pans. Go figure.
Yesterday I did not feel well, but today was much better. I think it may have been from the new drug added to my chemo. But hooray! I certainly can put up with some days of feeling lousy knowing that drug is beating up on the cancer cells.
Thank you for your faithful prayers. I'm thankful for you all. Love, Julie

Hi Julie! Glad to hear today was a good day! Happy B-day to Hannah, and Emma and I look foward to being there for the party!! Love ya, Liz :)
Julie,
I love keeping up with you guys. Thank you for doing it. I'm sure that there's lots of days you don't feel like it. I'm glad that today was much better for you.
The stories about your mom & Glorene...it's like yesterday that we were all living those stories. It's probably been 20 yrs. or more since I've seen Lauri/Rob. He was playing with The Pops, and we saw them perform in MN with Kathy and family.
Is that YOU playing the piano?
I can't believe that you have a grandaughter that is 11 already. Where does the time go? How old is Emma now? I've never even met her yet. I love the pics too, the cousins haven't changed a bit...HA! Probably because I haven't, right?????
Have a super day, and I continue to prayer for your healing.
Love you guys,
Jeanne
PS Will Gloria come and clean out my cabinets for me????? I'll let her cook too.
Hello Jeanne!
I'm so excited to hear from you! Actually the special frying pan that Mom found in my...disorganized pots and pans was one that she got from Glorene.
It's amazing that you heard Rod sing 20 years ago! I wonder if he's still singing with Norman Leydan. He's married to Jenny. It's been a long time...
Thank you so much for reading my blog and praying. Hope to see you and your family sometime!

Julie,
we have not met in person, but I feel like I know you so well. Greg and I were classmates at DHS so after the class reunion I started reading your blog site everyday.
Even though we don't know each other I am your sister is Christ, that that makes us close.
I am so blessed by your journaling and journey. Each time I read the latest I uphold you in prayer.The music you have chosen gives me goosebumps as I realize how the Lord is being glorified in your life. You are an encouragement to me.
" And HOPE does not disappoint us, because God poured out HIS love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom HE has given us.

Julie,
I knew I got "Rod" wrong and called him Rob, but I had Jenny & Lauri messed up too! Must be that age thing going on...HA!
I am so glad you got the "short chair"! You know that I can certainly relate to that. We're the same height aren't we? I can't even stand sitting in the dentist chair for my cleaning...and that only lasts 30 minutes. You might as well be as comfortable as possible in an uncomfortable situation.
I pray that you are able to truly enjoy your week off of chemo, and you're right about the nurses...they are truly a special breed of human beings and you have to spend more time with them presently than you do your own family.
Have a super week, hi goes to the family, and I certainly hope that we can see you guys too some day real soon.
Love and prayers,
Jeanne
