So, I started some of this post yesterday and than got busy and didn't get to finish it.
A BIG YIPPEEEEEE!!!! Megan is on her way home!!! I'm sure that she is totalllyyyy exhausted from traveling 33 hours. Lasst night for FHE we made Welcome home posters to put outside and to take to the airport. She was flying "back wards" Shanghai to Seoul Korea to LA to home:) Will be taking Jacob out of school early today to meet her and then we have invited friends and family to meet at Cafe Rio where she wanted to eat at after getting off the plane. I'm sure she will be thrilled to see her friends (lol - after 33 hours- mmm... I bet she smells wonderful:) I just can't believe that 5 months has gone by!! It was soooo quick. Hope it goes this quickly when I have a missionary out in the field:):)
Yesterday (June 25), was also Chris' PET scan results (down below was what I had written before his doctors appointment). Goooodddd news!!! No cancer in the liver or lungs!!!!!! Lymphnodes that have been there are only about a centimeter bigger than a year and a half ago when he had his last PET scan. He does have a new one in his pelvis but all of them are around 1.4-1.6 centimeters. Doctor wants Chris to come back in September and we will discuss doing chemo. Chris wants to continue to "play" this summer. He has a lot going. He helps every day with cross country (he has been walking/running 4 miles a day), on Friday's "he's the coach" and helps the kids with their form and on Saturday's is their to support them (and Rye) at marathons around the state. He also went to Camp Helaman last week for a day and a half, is headed to Cubcamp for a day and has been asked to go to Bear Lake with Tay (which is probably the only way Tay will stay 6 days - read below than you'll understand:):) and he is in charge of food for Youth Conference. Somebody must believe that he's going to be around for awhile. hee, hee. So, needless to say we are very excited with the results and look forward to having Chris around for awhile longer:)
This is what I wrote yesterday before we left to the doctors:
Chris got home Thursday night from camp around 6pm, showered and we headed out to eat with some of Chris' friends/old co workers and their wives. Chris misses work and his friends:( It was fun hanging out with them - they are a lot of fun. Hee, hee. Came home and Chris fell right into bed he was sooo tired and he said his neck hurt from sleeping on it weird.
Friday, we let Jacob and katie ditch school so that we could go and see " Brave" before Tay had to leave for camp. LOVED it!!! Make sure to stay to see what happens after the credits:) I'm glad Chris got to see it. He hates seeing the movie previews because he just doesn't know if he'll be around to see the movie. Ever thought of that? My poor, poor Chrissie:( Came home and got Tay ready for camp. They were leaving at 2. Ok, another crazy story. . .. . . I wake up at 8 am Saturday morning and look at my phone. There is a message from Tay's scoutmaster it reads "brought Tay home not feeling well" (2:19 AM) WHAT???!!! I go running to Tay's room but he's not there. I look around the house and their he is sleeping on the front room floor!!!!! I wake him up 1) to see how he is doing 2) to get the story 3)why he didn't wake us up. He said that he didn't feel well. Strawberry Reservior is 1 1/2-2 hour drive!!!!!! One way!!! Then the scoutmaster had to go back up. Tay said his tummy hurt. Poor boy. I don't think he will make it through a week at Bear Lake - Chris will probably need to go with him. One of the leaders offered his camper to Chris - soo nice. Crazy story - this is Tay's third time being brought home:( Later that day my sister was kind enough to let jacob and Katie play at her house (Tay sick) so that Chris and I could sit in the car for four hours to go and get Rye from camp. We got there a little late (suppose to be there at 4 for testimony meeting) but Chris was ill and we had to stop a few times. Then headed back to Aunt Cherie's to get the kids. Poor Rye hadn't showered all week so he was ready to go home and shower and sleep.
OK, so back to today (June 26), Rye is out taking his drivers test right now. Will see if we have four drivers in the family. Ooppss I mean 3 - since Meg can't drive. LOL. That's one thing we will be doing this week is getting her drivers class set up and pay her fine. (along with getting rid of her WORM - hee, hee) Tonight after Cafe Rio we head to Tay and Rye's Scout Court of Honor - funny we had one the night Meg left and now one the night she gets back. Exciting!!:)
Tomorrow, Tay tennis, scouts and Rye works. Thursday, it's Katie's last day of kindergarten and her kindergarten program. We will also take everyone to see Brave if Meg is up to it:) Friday, tennis, last day of school for Jacob (for 3 weeks:( eye doctor for jacob, Tay and megan and then onto Manti for the Manti Pagent (where Chris and I were married 22 years ago) for a yummy turkey dinner and a wonderful performance. It's fun to read in the Book of Mormon and invision what is happening on the Manti Temple hill example when Moroni "rents his cloak" and talks about fighting for freedom and liberty (he's standing on the wall of the temple) adn the Nephites and Lamanites fighting. If you haven't seen it you've got to:) This is the last week. June 26-30.
This is a good week, great week, exciting week . . .. .
"....the number of prayers we say may contribute to our happiness, but the number of prayers we answer may be of greater importance. Let us open our eyes and see the heavy hearts, notice the loneliness and despair; let us feel the silent prayers of others around us; and let us be an instrument in the hands of the Lord to answer those prayers." -Dieter F. Uchtdorf
Love ya, Ricki
