Emily's celebrating her 31st birthday today and we had a snowstorm last night so she's having a "white birthday". We are definitely getting tired of winter around here. So much for the weather report...
We had a wonderful time having a birthday dinner for Em last night at P.F. Chang's in Spokane. Her favorite restaurant. Nick's Mom and step-Dad were there and his Grandma. We had a great time. We all love the food and the atmosphere there. When I got home I was exhausted. Quite a lot of excitement! But it was so fun to do something special.
It was so good to see Kathy and we had a great time. She deserves a medal for patience for her quiet determination to teach me to crochet. I am even making something. I know crocheting is relaxing to many people, but it's still a little stressful for me. But I'm not going to give up...practice, practice, practice! She also made wonderful soup for us, hemmed two pairs of my jeans, made pillow cases for Em for her birthday and one for me "just because", straightened out a cupboard that was driving me crazy, helped me make my famous granola, and spent hours with me in the waiting room at the Cancer Center. I loved hearing stories about her grandchildren and seeing pictures of them and just visiting. Darrel felt like he needed to stay in Pendleton at the BB tournament so he didn't come. But he promised he'll come soon. Didn't you, Darrel?
The heparin continues to challenge my doctor. Thanks for your prayers for that. My last radiation treatment is scheduled for tomorrow afternoon. And tomorrow morning is chemo-time. I am so thankful that I have felt so good this past week! The Lord is good! I guess some people really feel crummy when they have radiation and chemo at the same time and especially after a couple of weeks of both treatments. I have so much to be thankful for!
"The Lord is good, and His love edures forever: His faithfulness continues through all generations." Psalm 100:5
Thank you so very much for your love and prayers. Love, Julie

Julie!! I just learned how to crochet this week as well. It is difficult at first. I kept having to try the first few stitches over and over again so that I knew I was getting it right. Tell Emily HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! ":)
You learned how to crochet!! WOW! It is really fun once you get it down. Not that I am as good as Kathy or anything, but I can crochet a straight line over and over again....so i consider that a success! Anyways, keep it up I am sure all the patience in learning will pay off! :)
Love,
Bethany
