Wonderful Weekend

It has been just so great to have Carolyn here since Thursday afternoon and I will miss her when she has to go home to Billings tomorrow. I asked Rob if she could just stay here but he wants her back. Her kids miss her too. She's such a fun person and so full of energy--it's contagious. And she's a wonderful cook too. I think I've gained some weight this weekend as a result of Carolyn's cooking and feeling better. Maybe I'm feeling better because of Carolyn's good cooking! We didn't go shopping at all except for groceries--we've just spent lots of our time visiting and that's been good.

Liz and her kids got to spend the night last night. It was great to have her and Emma and Evan around. They came for Adam's party. It was great to share time with two of my sisters! Yipee! And Janice is coming the 19th with Abbie and Zoe. The sister fun will continue...

And Betsy and Cam and the boys will be here for a couple of days in the middle of the week. I can hardly wait to hug Sebastian and Julian. Little sweeties.

The secretary at Hayden Meadows sent me the name plate that had been on the wall by my classroom door all year and it made me so sad! "Julie Johnson" was their music teacher and I never even got to meet all those children. The reality hits me every once in awhile that I won't be teaching this fall. It's so hard to leave that part of my life behind.

Tomorrow I will have my first out of ten radiation treatments and I'm so excited about being able to breathe better! I had to be remeasured and get new tatoos and it's kind of a complicated process. It seemed like the lady who did those things to me on Friday just loved drawing on me. I had big and little circles and funny lines all over my chest.

Thank you so much for your love and prayers. I feel so blessed to be surrounded by so many wonderful and caring people. Love, Julie
