My first semester at the Coast Guard Academy, every night my roommates and I would each talk about three good things that had happened during the day. It was our way of seeing the bright side in the midst of a very challenging environment - sometimes our "good things"were as simple as "I ate a Snickers bar" or "I heard my favorite song on the radio". We've come a long way since then, lol.
Here are 5 good things about today:
1) I slept really good last night and I slept in this morning.
2) My friend and co-worker Britney brought me flowers, cookies and a delicious lunch of grilled cheese and tomato soup (my favorite comfort food =)
3) I picked out a wig - one of the first ones I put on was almost exactly what I wanted. No description - you will have to wait and see the new me (that is, IF I lose my hair, I'm still hoping to keep it).
4) I caught up with a couple of very close friends that live far away.
5) My mom bought me really cute shoes at Macy's = )
Psalm 8:9-10
"The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. Those who know your name will trust in you, for you, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek you."

Hey, Christie & Ryan,
John just told me what's going on for you. We are praying for you, friends. Christie, you have encouraged my heart as I've read through these blogs. Thank you for standing strong in CHRIST. :) I will pray that He will give you and Ryan both inexplicable strength as you walk through this challenge, and that healing will come quickly.
Love, Anna
Hey lady! (and Ryan too) Sorry I didn't get to talk to you at church Sunday -- I was in the gym with 18 rowdy children. I hope to get over and see you soon. Meanwhile, KNOW I am praying for you both too and enjoy being kept up-to-date on not only what is happening, but on your own ups and downs too. I am praying that God will make the path straight and the light on the path STRONG as you walk through this particular canyon.
Can't wait to see the new look!
Love, Nancy L
