Tahoe Here We Come...

So, I have almost survived another week of chemo. I am still not feeling that great...but today was better than yesterday. I mostly just rested all of today and yesterday, reading a little bit when I was awake, and enjoying the strange warmth and sunshine that has fallen upon the Bay Area this week from the comfort of our new sunroom. I think, after four months, I have finally learned how to "just rest" when I feel sick after chemo, and let my body heal. Ryan is on duty tonight, but our friend Ali came over to eat dinner with me and we grilled chicken(this was the first time I have ever actually grilled anything - believe it or not!!) and watched her crazy puppy run around my backyard.

Tomorrow, we are supposed to leave for our Tahoe trip. I am really excited!! Please pray that I will continue to feel better and we will have a safe, fun weekend. It will be so great to get away together!! And it will be my first snow experience of the winter! (Ryan's ahead of me - he hiked Mt. Whitney back in November - overachiever!!)

Ryan also had a cool rescue yesterday - you can check out the video at www.cgvi.uscg.mil. Click on video, then "Coast Guard Rescues Two Men and a Dog" (http://cgvi.uscg.mil/media/main.php?g2_itemId=449509). Go Ryan!!!!

May God bless you immensely in the New Year!!!

It's the 20th and I'm just catching up. Read both blogs so I know you had a great time and must have felt ok. Good!! Harry was here with the scouts to ski - had 8 more inches of snow, and I rode the train to Phila. for my cousin's 80th birthday party. Look out I found more cards in the train station. Love you , Gahgee
