“Baby it’s cold outside!”
It seems that we have been pounded with a series of snow storms lately! We definitely will be enjoying a white Christmas! The mountains are covered and there is about 5 inches of snow on the ground at our home, and the icicles are beginning to grow on the corners or our house. We are enjoying staying bundled up and near the fireplace inside!
It has been another busy week for the family.
Ron gets to go to school for Monday and Tuesday, then his Christmas Vacation will begin. He remained busy last week with a few events at the high school on Monday and Tuesday night. Wednesday was Chemo Class and Thursday was his final. He is glad to have a break from school. Friday evening we enjoyed dinner with his mom and dad and last night we endured seeing BYU lose the football game against Arizona!!! Hard times for the Cougars!
Savanna is also done with finals, so she is welcoming a break. Wednesday we celebrated her 21st birthday; it wasn’t too much fun since she had some finals on that day! Thursday evening she and Spencer were going to go down to see the lights at Temple Square, but since it was so cold they just hung around the house and took Cleo on a walk! Friday evening she celebrated her 21st birthday with some friends by enjoying delicious food at the Cheesecake Factory. Yesterday she went sledding with some friends and then last night she enjoyed “Cousin Night” with the cousins at Steve and Sheree’s home! Today she is feeding the missionaries. Even though she has some down time it seems that her life remains non-stop!

Marie is looking forward to sleeping in for the next 2 weeks during Christmas Vacation. She remains busy too. Friday she went sledding with friends and yesterday she had a lacrosse game and then joined the cousins! She is looking forward to spending time with friends during the break.

My week was full of ups and downs….an MRI on my brain, the port placed, Chemo Class, meeting with the radiologist, and getting ready to start Chemo!!! Yes tomorrow my first treatment will start. We are praying that all will go well and I won’t have too many side effects. Our friends and family continue to provide us with great support. We are continually overwhelmed with the love and support that we feel. Our home is filled with a sweet calm spirit. We know that this is a direct result of the prayers and love that are said for us. Right now we don’t need any extra help; just keep us in your prayers and thoughts! We may need additional help in 6 weeks when the treatments get more intense, and we will be sure to call those of you have volunteered to help.
We hope that everyone has a wonderful Christmas!!! We love and appreciate everyone!!!

Last night was a blast with the "cousins" we watched muppets christmas carols and all sang along. It was fun. I did get a pic for you, you would be proud.
Jolene, what an amazing women you are and what a great family you have. I talked with Ron on Friday and everyone at Heartland sends their thoughts and prayers. You stated that you didn't help right now, but know in the future I would love to do what I can for you and your family. Ron has always been special at the Heartland and to me personally. You know how I mean that, I remember him walking into Heartland to be hired and he was so nervous and then I was so happy when he got hired. I was thrilled when my son Paul got him as a teacher. You and your family has touched us in so many ways. All of you are so special. I am thinking positive thoughts for you Jolene and you are in my prayers every night. I love your updates and will stay in touch.
