Every day is a gift from God. That has become very clear the last year. Thanks for celebrating with us last Saturday! We walked (and ran) the Chelan Chase. We ran just to keep up with the kids! Once again they were a great inspiration. It was a super family celebration of all we can do to help others. Last year I focused on trying to get better, and by God's grace, we did. There were points last winter that I wondered if I would have the strength to go for a 6K race this fall. Three miles seemed forever. So when we finished it felt great! We were happy, exhausted (just mommy and daddy) and thankful to be together. I think we will be doing the Chelan Chase for many years to come as a family.
Thanks for all of your prayers over the past year. Thanks also to so many of you who donated financially to the Chase. We raised $4,355.00. (Yes, my number is different than Brett's because more money has come in that we will donate.)
I think my biggest Ah, Ha moment came when survivors expressed how long they have been thriving. It has seemed forever to me since we stopped chemo. It took me back when I realized it has only been 5 months! No wonder I'm tired and a little numb by the time Friday comes! My doctor said it takes a year to get your full strength back. I'd say we're doing great, but I do need to find a little more time to relax in the midst of a busy mommy schedule. Life is wonderful!
We are continuing to pray for Sharon. Hopefully she will return home from the hospital next week. We pray for strength and healing. She is a wheel chair now. She doesn't feel the pain she used to because she doesn't have any feeling in her legs or hips.
We continue to do our best to look up.
God bless!

You amaze me. It is one thing to face cancer and survive. It is another thing to stay so positive when you watch the effects of cancer on your mom in law. You must have some incredible wisdom on overcoming the fear in the situation. Do tell. You've earned the right!
Woo Hoo! Did the walk/run exhaust the kids at all? Good endurance, you guys! We are praying, and we'll still be praying. 5 months - you look so great and seem to have so much energy it does seem like it's been longer. You rock!!! Hang in there, girl!
