Hello everyone! I haven't written in awhile, haven't been feeling so hot. Quick medical update- I ended up in the hospital for about a week at the end of April, I think. I was having problems with tachycardia (fast heart beat) among other issues. So long story short... I didn't get anymore IV chemo. I've had to be off of chemo until this week to allow myself a chance to recover a bit. My Dr. was thinking I've just had more chemo than a body can take.I've had issues since, just up and down with how I'm feeling. But I started on really low dose chemo Monday to try to stop stuff from growing too fast. No more IV (strong) chemo for me, Dr.'s orders. Which I am totally agreeable with! Enough of that junk though. I am just rolling with each day as it comes and excited that Levi is out of school, so happy it is summertime!!!


In other news, Tyler recently got home from his mission trip to Panama. He had a very good experience there, except when he was sleeping and said that either a lizard or mouse crawled across his leg and he isn't quite sure which one it was! Ewwwww! No thank you! I have to say that I am so very proud of the beautiful man my son has become. He is such a loving soul and it makes my heart happy.


Jessica has started grad school- go momma go! I know she will do wonderful things in her life with furthering her education. She already does! I don't know how she's doing it all; renovating her new house, working, raising a baby, going to grad school, dealing with my illness, volunteering at the equestrian center for people with disabilities. Sometimes I just feel so overwhelmed with what good people God sent to me to raise. I'm so lucky they are mine!!!


I know it's not much, but it's an update and I'm tired. Will write again soon.


p.s. Levi is as tall as me!!!!!!!!!! He's totally changing into a man before my very eyes! I see it every day... again, makes my heart happy I am here to see it :)  Gosh, I love that kid!


p.p.s. yessss, that is 10 of us riding on the golf cart up at the lake... count em! hahahaha
