Time for Blogger Again

I don't have as much medical news to journal on CaringBridge, so I am going to try to update my blog on family events more frequently now. I try to keep family news here, and cancer news on the "bridge".  This picture was taken on my new birthday 2/22/13, the day of my transplant.

 I am feel pretty good and really glad to have mom here helping out.  Jeff has been balancing so much since the beginning of my fight with cancer. He loves me, takes good care of me, our house and his work at church. I hope to get back to work this summer.  Our congregation has been so wonderful to the whole family.

Sarah continues to love her job as athletic trainer at Summerfield High  School.  The good thing is that they love her too!  Working steadily on her thesis.  She will be presenting her proposal of her thesis next month. She will be staying in Toledo this summer and her sister Mary will be staying in Ann Arbor most of the summer.

Mary is busy all the time.  She was elected President of the Women's Glee Club next year! That was one of her goals as  a  freshman.  Keeping up with her teaching class, student teaching and continues to help at an elementary school each week.  Brandon graduates with his Bachelor's degree next month and will most likely attend Law School at UCLA in the fall.  Mary has one more year of student teaching and some history classes as she is minoring in History.  She will be taking her   English Teacher test on Saturday for the state, not for a grade. 

Matthew has a dorm room to himself now. His room mate moved in with another friend in  the dorm.  Matt likes this arrangement to he has more  room!  Classes are going pretty well and he has been also working on scholarships and acquiring a car for this summer and beyond.  He will be working in Norman this summer and has
rented an apartment with 3 of his buddies. My boy is growing up!  He sure has had lots of experiences.  Unfortunately, his bike was never recovered.

All three have been so supportive to me and do things to cheer me up.  I love them so much and I know they love me. Last report on Sammy, he is doing well and made himself at home.   I am glad he made the adjustment well.

Other than that all is well. Hope your world is terrific.  

Love you all!
