Taking advantage...

I am trying to take advantage of how great I am feeling right now. It's been almost two weeks since my last chemo treatment and since I finished radiation and coffee even tastes good! So this weekend has been terrific.

Friday when I found out that my brother,Tim, wasn't going to be able to visit, I asked Emily if Hannah and Adam could spend the night. Just like old times. Emily told me that while they were gathering their jammies etc., Matthew was emphatic about joining them for the sleep-over at Grandma Julie's. He just turned three in January. Anyway all three of them ended up spending the night and I was so excited to have enough energy to really enjoy them.

And I went to church this morning! I haven't been able to go to church since before Thanksgiving! It was so great!

But truly the highlight of my weekend has been helping Greg with the tedious task of gathering the information for taxes. What a thrill. Just kidding. I really appreciate that Greg takes care of our finances.

I talked to my sister, Carolyn, this afternoon and she and Janice are planning a trip to Coeur d'Alene! I can hardly wait! I love my sisters! It will be amazing if Liz can come while they are here!

I'm so thankful for all of you and it continues to amaze me to hear from people I haven't seen for years. Like Suzie Attridge. My goodness. Thank you so much for your encouraging words and your prayers. It's so humbling. Love, Julie
