Moving Forward






Well the busy weekend is here. Thursday night we finished Sheri's final chemo, and went out to dinner at the Windmill in Wenatchee together. Friday was back to work, and Friday night we had a BBQ with my Men's group and their families. They set up a mock finish line at the front door as we came in, and cheered as Sheri crossed the line. That was fun! Saturday morning brought the Apple Blossom parade. My Mom and Dad, and Sheri and I were named Grand Marshals, so we rode down the parade in the Mustang. You've got to love a small town. Everyone cheered as we drove through town. I put a pink ribbon on the antenna for Sheri (It's the only time that car will have pink on it!). Bryce was in the Junior Court and rode in the parade as well. Alyssa wanted to stay with Sheri's folks so she could catch candy. We enjoyed the rest of the festivities, then took a 3 hour long nap. That night we went to the pageant which Bryce was in as a trumpeter....he rocked the house!




OK.....funny Bryce story. He lost a tooth a while back and is having a tough time with his "P's" sounding like "S's".........ok so now say the word Apple Blossom like that.........ya that's a problem!!! We hoped he didn't say it in front of one festival officials. I wouldn't look to good if the Grand Marshal's son said something like that.
Anyway, later that night we went out to dinner with my family, my sister and her family were in town too. Today is Mother's Day, I think we're going low key. Sheri was tired yesterday, but very glad we were able to make it through. We're not letting cancer stop us from living life.....but we do have to plan little better then before. All in all life is good! We go for Herseptin Thursday, Sheri has scans on Saturday, and we see her Doctor for results next Wednesday the 21st. Pray for great "NO CANCER!" results. Sheri's hair should start growing back in the next few weeks, so I'm going to shave my head again, and we'll race! You gotta have a little fun with this whole thing. Thanks again for the prayers, and cheers, and encouraging words. It really does mean something when people tell us they read the blog.......14,000 of you and counting! Someone anonymously left this sign for us......I think it's very appropriate. It now has a proud home right by our front door.
