Utes are #2

1-11-09

We were thrilled to see the Utes ranked #2....they did have a great season! Ron remains a proud "UTE"!

It has been a more routine week for us! We have enjoyed returning to school and getting back on schedule. I have also enjoyed a week with no chemo!

Ron is back to work at Elk Meadows Elementary. His nights are busy with helping out with the Bingham basketball games!

Savanna enjoyed her first week of student teaching. She is working with 4th graders at Draper Elementary.

Marie enjoys high school life and had fun attending the basketball game with her friends on Friday night. She is getting ready for the end of the quarter by studying for tests that will take place next week.

I enjoyed being back to work this week. It was great to see everyone! I find that I do get more tired! I really enjoyed not having to do chemo last week. Tomorrow I will have my third chemo treatment. I am hoping that all will continue to go well and that I will have minimal side effects! I enjoyed washing my hair this morning, I just wonder if this is the week when it will start falling out!!! Hopefully I will be emotionally ready for this next phase of my cancer.

Last week Ron was watching the news and saw a report on radon gas and learned that it was one of the major causes of lung cancer. He ordered a kit, so we will test our home and see if that may be the cause of my lung cancer.

Thanks again for all of your kind thoughts and prayers. We are blessed to have such supportive family and friends!!!!

Good luck tomorrow with the next round of chemo treatment. That is interesting about the radon prospect. We'll all be testing our homes if that seems comes back with high levels. I sure think about you alot and continue prayers for you everyday.

Hi Jolene! Rebecca Simmons told me about your cancer today. My prayers are with you as you battle this nasty disease. I hope you chemo goes well this week. Remember when I shaved my head bald at Evergreen? As much as you dread it, it is one of the most liberating things you will ever do. You are a survivor, and if anyone can beat this, you can. Love you, friend!
