We are still smiling from our big news on Tuesday! Praise God!!! Unfortunately, cold and flu season is upon us - my co-worker called me yesterday morning to warn me that I might not wanna come in b/c lots of people at work were getting sick. And this morning Ryan woke up with a bad cold and did not go to work either (pilots cannot fly when they are sick, so they are encouraged to keep their sicknesses at home so as not to incapacitate the air station). Please pray that Ryan gets better before my chemo on Monday(otherwise he probably can't come with me) and that I do not catch anything from him.
We helped at the Fall Festival at our church tonight - I love watching kids have fun!! We are really blessed to have such a great church family.
I'm really looking forward to getting better and finishing chemo. I have been thinking a lot about things I wanna do - some in the near future and some down the road. Here's a list of some:
- learn my current job better and do it well (i was only there a month before I was diagnosed)
- coach a high school cross-country team
- get my master's degree
- teach Sunday school again
- have kids
- compete in triathlons
- open a cancer care center with Christian staff and principles (this one is probably many years down the road)
But for now, I will rest in God's goodness and provision.
"Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God." Hebrews 12:2

I believe you will accomplish many things on your list! I am still smiling from your news as well.
We love you, all our hearts!
Mom and Daddy
read your list and thought, "Wow, that's a lot!" Then I thought about God, Who can do exceedingly abundantly beyond what we can ask or think.
love you guys!!
Hey, Christie and Ryan.
So excited for your news! Both Michael and I teared up!
I'm glad to see your "to do" list, and I think I'd like to add one: Hanging out - in person - with a particular Nebraskan friend. What do you think?

Hey beautifuls! I just wanted to write you and say the results are a miracle from God. I cannot imagine how people without an awareness of God's presence can get through what you just did. He is the author and perfector of our faith. He is more than we will ever need. Although there are times for trubulations, He will bring us through it.
I know He has been teaching all of us, especially you so much through all of this. Just think of what is more to come.
A disciple is someone who is available to God, who wrestles with God, who obeys God, and who makes discliples.
Love you,
Alison D
