2009 is looking better!

We returned home from Cleveland safely this afternoon despite the mild snowstorm. I will not complain about the snow. I LOVE THE SNOW!!!

Everything looked good on my MRI. "Stable," seems to be the ongoing label for my MRI. I will take that! Right now I'm trying to remember everything that we learned and my mind is a fog so when it comes to me I will post again. I know there was nothing too new that we hadn't already heard. I will return again in 3 months. OHHH..... so excited to say that this time they did not give me an IV for my MRI. I DO NOT like an IV. I asked if I could request to continue to go to that location for my MRI since they do not give you and IV and they said "absolutely!" That was very good for me to hear!

Mike and I managed to locate a Cheesecake Factory on our way home. It was truly a sweet ending to our already good day!

Thanks sooo much for all your prayers!!!!

Sending lots of love tonight!

Happy New Year!

We did a lot of reflecting through Christmas and the New Year. We had much to be thankful for in 2008 even though it was challenging at times. We know 2008 was full of blessings and we are looking forward to a calm 2009 filled with just as many or more good things and memories.

Christmas was great this year. Mike said it was his best ever (at least in his adult life). I think we just appreciated everything/everyone/each other more than ever. Luke makes it especially fun. It's magical to him. He loves Christmas and he so often would smile and it was like there was a sparkle in his eyes! He was just gleaming with excitement for Christmas. We had a total of seven Christmas's to celebrate this year. CRAZY, but it was fun. I love family get togethers.

Today Luke and I are meeting some friends at Chucke Cheese. He is so excited! I told him we would go since he's on Christmas vacation from school. He loves to say that he's on Christmas vacation! It will be fun to catch up with friends even in a germ infested, greasy, sticky Chucke Cheese. Ha! I haven't broke the news to him that we're going to stop at a few other stores on our way.

Overall everything has been well.

Mike and I will return to Cleveland on January 14th for my routine MRI. I'm fighting with some anxiety about this one. This will be my first one since I'm done with treatment. We will update as soon as we know something.

So here's to a great 2009!

Love,
Jess
