Tuesday, August 21, 2012
What happened to July? It just flew by. We had a fun filled 4th of July. Family, parade, breakfast, city park fun, BBQ, and fireworks. To celebrate the 24th, me, Joe, Rebecca and Cody had VIP Rodeo tickets. That's the only way to go to the rodeo, dinner before and reserved seats! Yes, I know, I'm spoiled. Cody talked us into going to the parade in Ogden, something we've never done. Afterward, we went to breakfast. Normally, we don't do anything for the 24th, we really enjoyed the day this year.
It's hard to believe August is almost over. School starts in less than two weeks. Today, I received my route sheets for the new school year. I really hope I can start on the first day along with everyone else.
I had my last treatment two weeks ago. I have to say...it kicked my butt!!! It's amazing to me how different my body responds to each treatment. My treatment before last, wasn't too bad, I was tired and felt flu like symptoms, but I dressed and made it through each day. What is usually the worst day for side effects, I went to an eight hour (very boring) meeting! This last treatment, I had serious fatigue, nausea, and chronic muscle and joint pain. Just the usual, except more intense. But, I was thrilled to get it over with. I had a cat scan a few days ago, I should get the results this week.
Other events during the month of August....Michelle was here for a week for Grace's birthday. It was so nice having her home, but as usual, the visit was too short. It was my turn to have Grace's birthday party at our home. It's always fun getting together with my kids and grandkids, Brandon, his parents and all his siblings (7 of them) and their kids. Joe's two kids and Michelle's friends came up from Salt Lake this year. It was good to see them! Grace had so much fun, we had kids running around everywhere. It's was great! Grace's cousins and Joe's kids spent the night. I enjoyed having them stay even though I was exhausted when they all went home
I am grateful Grace is surrounded by cousins, aunts and uncles, her (other) grandparents and parents who love her and what a great example they are for her to follow. She is so blessed to be a part of a such a good, honorable, decent, loving family. I am a firm believer "it takes a whole village to raise a child." In today's world, kids need all the help they can get to stay on the straight and narrow path. I am reminded of what Henry B. Eyring said:
“Our most important and powerful assignments are in the family. They are important because the family has the opportunity at the start off a child’s life to put feet firmly on the path home. Parents, brothers and sisters, grandparents, aunts and uncles are made more powerful guides and rescuers by the bonds of love that are the very nature of a family.”
Joe and Rebecca have been getting up at five every morning to go running. They are training to participate in a 5k around Lake Cornelia in Minnesota next month for Silent No More Walk/Run for Ovarian Cancer. Joe has a supplier from Minnesota who's sister had ovarian cancer, she was involved in starting the organization sponsoring this run. And...did you know....September is National Ovarian Awarenes Month? Neither did I! I don't know what events are planned except Friday, September 7th is Wear Teal Day. (Teal is the color for ovarian cancer.)
Again, to all those who have extended their love and support, we thank you! To all those who offer prayers in our behalf, thank you! And to those who have and continue to put our name in at the temple, thank you, thank you! YOU are our hereos, our support, and our reason to keep on fighting!
I will close for now...Joe has gone out of town this week, soooo....I am headed to my sewing room.
No One Fights Along!
