Happy Friday!

It's Friday morning after my second round of chemo, and I'm about to take my mom out to breakfast at our awesome bakery, and then to the airport =( It's been great having her here and that she could stay so long, but I guess now we have to learn to survive in this big scary world on our own =)

I have never felt so tired in my life as the first couple of days after my chemo this week. I slept, and then woke up for a few minutes and slept some more. And even when I was awake my entire body felt fatigued. I did manage to make it to my wig appointment on Wednesday - I picked up my new look and the stylist cut my hair shorter - I don't think I will have what's left of it for much longer, but I'm gonna let it come out naturally.

So, it's day five and I am starting to feel alive again. Ryan and I are attending a forum this weekend in San Francisco put on by the Lymphoma Research Foundation for patients, survivors, and loved ones. How strange that the big annual forum on lymphoma just happens to be in San Francisco three weeks after I am diagnosed?? Just another indication that God is directing the details of our lives.

Thank you for all your prayers - have a very happy Friday!!!

Remember what I told you once, "God takes care of drunks,fools, and us" It surely seems that way with the annual forum on lymphona right in your back yard. How neat. Love you, Gahgee

You Go Girl! Loved the boogie board picture...
Hope you guys had a great weekend.
Amazing how things fall in place when we just give it up to God. We may not know why things happen to us, but must believe it is part of his plan and out of our control.
Hope the forum was informative and inspirational. Love Meme and Jr.
