What's New?!

Well it has been a while since we posted so here is the short list on what's new...

- Matt is DONE with chemo!! Praise God. It was a long long road but he completed the journey and I am so proud of him. At times it took a swift kick in the butt to keep him going! =) but it was all out of my love for him- right Matt?
- We had a little get together with some friends recently to celebrate the end of our chemo journey - Good food, Good times and Great friends!
- Tomorrow (May 7) Matt has a surgery procedure to take out his port that was installed in his chest for chemo. He cannot wait to say goodbye to that!
- Tomorrow I also have some tests...I have a MRI and MRA of my brain scheduled. I haven't really shared much about this - but I have been having a little issue/something going on in my brain that started on Good Friday. I like to tell people the issue is that I am just so extremely intelligent that my skull can't handle my brain any longer! (I don't get many people to buy into that, surprisingly) I can tell you that I have already had a CT scan and there is no growth, tumor, ect. I was told by my neurologist that the MRI/MRA probably won't show anything either - but that will be a good thing...kinda? Although I would like to know what is causing these sharp pains in my head. So far its been all regulated by a medication.
- We have been spending lots of time - hugging, holding, and giggling with all the visiting nephews and nieces!
- Spring is here! Matt and I have started walking in preparation for our annual Maine trip and hiking in Acadia National Park (can't wait!!)
- I (Julie) started working part time. So I get to enjoy doing things around the house on Wednesdays and Fridays!

So there is our "short" list!! Until next time....Happy Spring!!
