Life is short
Break the rules
Forgive quickly-
Kiss slowly
Love truly
Laugh uncontrollably
and never regret anything
that made you smile.
That is what you all have done, made me smile. I am truly blessed! I will never be able to express how much your love and support has helped me and my family during this crazy journey! The journey is going to get tougher and I know you will be there for me.
Hockey is now over the boys tried hard but fell to defeat on Saturday. Know what will I do. We are hoping that Myles will make the Lacrosse Team. Try outs are next month. Dinner was delivered by the wonderful Gerri. Thank you so much. A couple of visitors also came by on Saturday. Amy (my replacement at school, please stay until I can get back!) Also, Matt's cousin Teresa. Thanks for the visit ladies. Plus Jac came home for a quick visit thanks to her friend Chris!!
Sunday we all went to church and I got to see my ST.Angela family. I love seeing you all! You are the reason I keep coming back. Thanks for all the prayers. The day was spent with my parents and my family. Dinner was delivered by Matt's cousin Liz (she had time before she had to leave for the Czech). Boy and I thought my life was busy. My niece Stephanie came over and gave me and my mom facials. I never had one before. Nice job Stephanie. ( I forgot to give you your birthday gift, please come stop by).
Monday, my wonderful sister sent over her husband Doug to vacuum my house with her Dyson. YES, I am sold. It works wonderful! He could of done a commercial on my house. Thanks so much! I told my sister I am not buying one that she could just come over once a month and clean for me.(HAHAH she said to me)! Maybe she will keep sending Doug over instead! I did make it up to school for the Monday Lunch Club! It was great seeing everyone. I sure do miss you all. I even made a quick visit into my classroom. The students looked great. Tonight I got to cook a meal. My first in a long time. My family actually like it. I know some of you are surprised, but I can cook, I just chose for Matt to do it! At night my mom and dad took a ride over to see my dad's sister (since she can't drive, but she can do everything else)! It was great seeing her. I even got to see my brother and his wife. Thanks guys for keeping me busy!
Tuesday, The day we have been waiting for. The Trip to Karmanos! Again we drove in the snow. Gave blood, saw the doctor and gave more blood. The day for Chemo will begin on March 4th at 8:00 a.m. The doctor said it should take about 7 hours. So we will pack our breakfast, lunch and snacks. That place is soooooo busy. The day is finally coming and I am scared sh.......less. I know, I know that all of you will send your love,prayers and support, but that is how I am feeling. My husband and my mom and dad will be with me. It will be along day.
Enough of that! I ending my evening playing BUNCO with my gals. I had sooo much fun, I even came in second. (Lost first by 1 point). I so enjoy being on the move.
The rest of week looks pretty calm. I hope to update the blog over the week-end. If not after Chemo. Keep the prayers coming.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY GOES OUT TO MYLES'S FRIEND MIKEY ON FEBRUARY 29TH LEAP DAY! HOW OLD ARE YOU KNOW MIKEY 4YRS. HAVE A GOOD ONE.
Remember to LIVE, LOVE AND LAUGH..... ONE DAY AT A TIME!
P.S. I got a new welcome mat with that saying on it from my friend Michelle from St. Angela's. Thanks Michelle. I love it.

Good Morning Sis,
I have no problem sending Doug over once a month to vacumn for you, mightly nice of me isn't it?..lol. I know the next leg of this road you are on is a scary one yet the sooner it is started the closer you are to the finish line. You are not alone on this journey, no we can't do it for you but every inch of the way you will have the love, support and prayers of everyone in your life. You may stumble but we will not let you fall. You have touched so many people in your life and that shows in the support that has flooded your life. I love you and as always you are in my thoughts and prayers. Yes ONE DAY AT TIME..like we have any other choice..lol.
Julie,
This will be my second attempt to write to you. I had the whole thing written and than you called and I forgot to send it through!
I am not so great on the computer!
God never gives you more than you can handle!
I am sure you will face this next challenge with grace and courage
just as you have faced everything else. I have great faith
that you will continue to fight this battle and win!I will see you Monday!
Love Sally

I hear you are set for meals until next Tues. so I will check with your St. Angela Family and update the calendar. Will let you know the details as soon as I get them. Thanks for letting me know when meals aren't needed. It helps with the planning! Keep the faith girlfriend, you are now starting on the road to recovery. Love the shirt, you look great in it! Peace and Prayers always...
P.S. what were you doing up at 4:48!!! Stay Strong & Positive!!!

Is it spring yet? Gosh, I really do not want to shovel that snow.
Great seeing you last night at DLS, I can't believe how many people were there, I really hope that all our boys make the team, but that is alot of boys going out. Sorry I did not get to talk much with you and Margaret.
Have a good day, thinking about you and just wanted to say "hello".
Sending hugs and kisses...

Hi, Julie
It was great seeing you on Monday, I miss talking to you at lunch. You look great. Your class is getting better (not the same without you). I think of you all the time. Enjoy reading your blog, I read it almost everyday.
See you real soon,
Love, Jodie
Hi Julie,
I think I have this figured out now, dah! It was good seeing you last Monday, you look so good! Good luck with the chemo, I'll be thinking about you on the 4th.
Love, Kim
PS: Is Doug and his Dycom for hire?
Julie,
Mikey really got a kick out of seeing you wish him a happy birthay on your blog! He's very happy this weekend since he got his license.
Glad that you're going to start your chemo next week. It's good to keep moving forward with your treatment plan to get closer to the end of it.
Let us know the chemo schedule and times so that we can help to get you there so Matt doesn't have to take off work every week.
It was good to talk to you today...you are always so upbeat! You inspire me!
Love,
Gerri

Thanks for the update on your chemo. I'm sure you're anxious to move forward to the next step, but nervous with the unknown. We're here for you guys.
Thanks Jac for taking care of the boys this weekend (or should I say be careful what you asked for). I think you are the big sister Chris never had. the campus inspired him.
As always, you're in our prayers.
