April 27, 2008 Life is good.... I mean GREAT!

I have talked to a number of people that encouraged me to write a note of progress. As the title states, I feel great.
I have been very blessed with the outcome of my cancer experience. My last doc check-up was on April 17th and all is ok. Blood tests show no sign of cancer cells in my body. I will have a CT scan in three months to check on the tumor.
My family is finally getting back to our normal schedule.... baseball, scoccer, music, homework, playgroups, etc.... and I am part of it! Last summer was very hard for us because I could not participate in our family events.
One of our favorite activities is boating in the summer. My dad was very generous and gave me his old boat and we just love being on the water together as a family. We are excited to spend time at Bear Lake and Lake Powell this summer.
I have learned to appreciated the little things in life more fully. I have also learned that "stuff" happens in life and there is a purpose in each experience. Live in the present, learn from the past, and hope for the future.
I can't seem to get through a post without, again, thanking all the friends, family, neighbors, church leaders, and people we do not know for all their prayers and support over the last 10 months.
Know that I am well (about 85%) and look forward to living.
