Merry Christmas!

We hope that everyone who reads this is having a very Merry Christmas and enjoying time with friends and family.  This year I am really sitting back to take in all of the family time that I'm getting to enjoy.  I feel pretty good and I'm so thankful for that.  Maybe I haven't gotten to eat ALL of the holiday treats that catch my eye, but I'm looking at that as a good thing... maybe a little forced self-control.

I have my first radiation appointment on Monday.  From what I understand, they will spend some time creating their specific plan for radiating the area around my tumor.   After we finish there, we are going to the offices of 99.5 The Wolf to pick up our Christmas Wish gift cards. Thank you Mrs. Hostin for nominating us!  I can't wait to take the boys out for some fun shopping...  it will be a great way to celebrate the beginning of radiation and the end of this cancer!  :)

We also received word today that many of Michael's childhood friends (from years growing up in Artesia, NM) have gotten together and collected money for us.  These are people that he has not seen in so many years, yet they heard of this diagnosis that we were given and stepped into action to help.  We are inspired by the kindness of our friends.  Yet again, please know how thankful we are for each and every one of you!

I must get to bed.  Santa has lots of work to do after I go to sleep!  ;)  

Merry Christmas and Good Night.
