Farewell 2008....

Just a quick post to say - WOW what a year 2008 was for us.... but we are continuing to push forward.

-Matt just finished up chemo round #7 (of 12) - I know he doesn't believe me when I tell him - but I am so proud of him. It has not been an easy journey for Matt, but he continues on (with my prodding!) He doesn't look forward to wednesdays (actually any day) of chemo week because that is usually the worse day for him -but I kinda like wednesday afternoons because we get to say goodbye to another round! The end is getting closer and within our reach with every session.

We Love You Family & Friends and Wish You All a Wonderful 2009!

We lost Barrett today... =(

Barrett's heart finally gave out on her... she passed away early this afternoon. She came up to me and nosed my arm that she wanted to go outside to go to the bathroom. She never made it back in... collapsing just outside the door.

We've had a lot of dogs growning up... but I never had one with as much personality and life as Barrett. I'm really going to miss her. She was definitely one of a kind.

Current Happenings in our Corner of the World

1. Our little boy is all grown up and married. Kurt and Alice got married this past Saturday and we had a wonderful time!
2. Today is a chemo day - yuck! However it IS number 6 -so we are halfway there - right Matt?
3. Did I mention yet how I already don't like the snowy, slick, and cold weather? Don't get me wrong I think snow is beautiful - but only when you plan on staying home for the day!
4. Chris is on the varsity basketball team - so I imagine some of our Fridays and Saturdays will be spent with Superfan (aka - my dad) watching High School B-ball

...Seriously - that about sums up what is going on here in Ohio
