Another Great Weekend!

I was feeling good after I got my blood transfusion on Tuesday and worked normal hours at work until the weekend. It feels good to just be normal and go to work like everybody else, be productive and then come home to your beautiful wife and her cooking. We are sure to make everyday count that I am feeling good so we jammed our weekend full of fun once again.

On Friday Stacey's sister Allison who is our new roommate brought her stuff from Cedar Rapids and stayed the night. Ally and I had a good time on Saturday watching College Football. On Saturday night we went to Iowa City to go to Krystin Garman and Chad Mittan's wedding reception. Stacey had class until 5 on Saturday so I picked her up and we headed to Iowa City. It was great to see all of our college friends again. Stacey and I were chatting and even got out on the dance floor for a few songs! What a great reception and we are both so happy for Krystin and Chad they are two great people who were truly meant to be together. Congrats you guys!!

Sunday is going to be more football for me. I was bummed that my Chiefs lost to Stacey's Colts but I got over it quickly because they are still leading the division! Go Chiefs! We also went to the International Food Festival in the East Village and sampled food from all over the world, Etheopia, Equador, Mexico, Salvador as well as some local Des Moines favorites. It was a fun way to spend the day and their was no cost to get in. Win Win!

We are excited that our good friend Carolyn Gibson (my walking buddy from the hospital) is back home from her Stem Cell Transplant. She is doing great and is recoverying here in Des Moines! Just another answered pray! Also Congratulations to Allison Harter for getting a job with Wells Fargo and for our good friend Abby Krull because she got into the Police Academy in St. Louis! What a great week for all of our friends! A lot of answered prayers this week! God is good!

I will be working hard the next 3 days and then going in for my 9th round of Chemotherapy. Pray that this is the Chemo that we need to knock this cancer out!

Also a P.S. to Krystin Garman and Chad Mittan: Stacey and I were the ones who got you a gift and forgot to sign the card. It was my fault! HAHAHAHA! In case you can't figure it out we got you Taboo and Catch Phrase and the unsigned card I pick out for you has a lot of gold glitter on the outside of it! Have fun in the Bahamas! Love you guys!
