Snow and a walk in the woods!

Oh dear... February 8th was the last post!! Well, I saw Dr Forest on thursday a week ago and the chemo tablets have not even dropped my white blood count down. So, this is good! I am feeling more 'normal' and enjoying life! What a Gift! Today was a walk in the woods with a friend! It was LOVELY! All taken with my iPhone! It is just so easy!!

Four weeks~ This Thursday!

This would be a self-portrait of my First Born Jessica!
Life is just so Good!!

Each day I am stronger! Thursday is four weeks since Dr Forrest said I am officially "cancer free".
Wow, how good. I had my bloodwork done on friday, by a lovely Technician @ BC Bio named Karen. Very gracious and did not feel anything for the first time having blood taken 'with a needle' in a long time!! So, I am grateful! I go to find out the results on thursday when I meet with Dr Forrest again. These are sweet days. I still get tired out if I overdo it but I am feeling more and more "normal"!

My Baby Girl turns 24!

February 2nd. Angela's Birthday. We started off with breakfast together at 5:45 am before Angela, Rob and Jessica left for their construction jobs! Well... I have still not brought my "Big Camera" out much... and the iPhone is just so easy!
So, here is Angela with one of our Pastors at Cedar Grove for the international dinner for Missions Week! And with Rob, and with Nicole! Party Time! Angela was okay with going there for her 'Birthday Dinner' and was having fun!

Renovation

The Renovation is progressing!! The bathroom for the suite has been boarded by our great Brother-in-law! First coat of mud is done and in "our" bathroom... Angela and Rob moved the tub in last night!! We will be ready to 'board' the second bathroom soon!
It is exciting! Rob is going long hours as he is also working 6 days a week! It will be good to be done!

Twins

Saturday we had two adorable twin boys come visit with their lovely Mamma! It was SO delightful! Thanks Jessica, for cleaning up after!

The Two Year Journey...

Well, for those of you interested... I have taken a photo of my chemo drugs! The 12 little ones I take once a week. The two yellow ones I take once a day with the single white one also ( the antibiotic).
It seems to be going well. The weekly dose gives me a rash but otherwise all is okay. I also wanted to say that the entire 9 month journey, I was never car sick with all those trips going in and out! Wow, that was incredible. Thank you again for your prayers. God has been so good on this journey!

It has been 9 days.... Nine wonderful days since I last wrote... it seems as if the Leukemia is on a boat drifting out to sea and I am happily on shore!! I celebrated my 51st birthday last sunday... officially, with a wonderful lunch in the lovely home where Amy is house-sitting right now! What a delightful day.
It has been a full week of celebrating and growing in strength! My shoulder is much better and I look forward to playing the conga's again this coming thursday! Such Rich Joy!
