Sorry that I have not blogged for awhile. I've actually been busier than usual. I also seem to have a little more energy this week. That is so unpredictable, however. Last weekend I went to Candlewick Lake for a little getaway. The weather was beautiful and we had a great time. I am so glad that I feel up to doing things with my wonderful friends. So far, I have not had to miss out on too much! You know how I hate that!!

Emily and Dan left for Europe on Monday. They are going to Prague, Munich, Venice, Florence and Rome and stopping in some smaller towns along the way. Before they left, Emily was offered a job teaching math at Downers Grove North High School. She is very happy to be moving back to the area (so are her parents!) and she is excited about her new position. She will be looking for an apartment downtown.

I have completed treatment #8 out of 15 in the first round of chemo. That's over halfway! Most days it seems to be going quickly. I try to look at how far I've come and not how far there is to go! That can seem daunting.

Thanks for sharing this journey with me. Remember to comment on the blog or just email me if you get a chance. I always love getting mail.
