So, I'm on Day 16 after chemo (it will usually be only 14 days, but the doctors wanted to move it from Thursday to Monday), so I'm feeling pretty good. We had an awesome weekend. On Friday night, Ryan and I ate at the Corral Steakhouse in Pacifica - it's way back through all these neighborhoods, right across from the horse stables - it is a very well-kept secret. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was great. On Saturday, we went with my mom down to Ano Nuevo to watch the elephant seals - I hiked three miles!! Half of it was over sand dunes too!! But the elephant seals are pretty fun to watch - some of them were in the water playing with each other - if you live in CA and you are reading this, I would definitely recommend you make the trip. And then we explored the small town of Pescadero, CA. Sunday was nice too - I had breakfast at my favorite bakery with a friend from Ryan's work, went to church, out to lunch with Bible study friends, went home and took a nap(I get tired these days, lol) and then took my mom down to Half Moon Bay, where we sat on the deck of Sam's Chowder House, listening to live music, eating clam chowder, and enjoying the ocean breeze and beautiful views.
I have my second dose of chemo tomorrow, so the next three days will probably be kinda blah...however if things go like last time, Tuesday will actually be alright - so I plan to go boogie-boarding again, which will get me through Wednesday, when I probably won't make it very far off the couch.
Thank you for all your comments, encouraging words, friendship, support, and prayers.
Prayer requests:
- That everything goes alright with the next round of chemo
- I am losing my hair!!! By the handful - it's so strange! Pray that it won't be too traumatic and that it will come back curly again =)
- I would like to pray that God will save my ability to have babies in the future, despite all the chemo drugs

Our prayers continue to be with you! You are far too beautiful for a little baldness to matter - so don't worry about that one! We have been praying for future motherhood for you since you got the diagnosis. My encouragement to you today comes from Joshua 1:9 -
"Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go."
Hi, Know that I'm keeping you in prayer today = and many of my friends are also. I e-mail a thought for today so check that out. Love you, Gahgee
