Thank You!

Stacey and I just want to thank all of our friends and family who have helped us in our long journey. If you have sent us a prayer, card, donation, bought a wristband or just kept us in your thoughts then we want to thank you. When times get tough and life gets stressful it is good to know that you have we have such an amazing support system of people that have gone above and beyond for us. We definitely feel the love that you have given us.

For Stacey and I it is a very stressful time. We are going into my 11th round of Chem this week and all we want are good results. Stacey is studying like crazy for her exams that we all pray will go well and there are a lot of other little things that stress us out too. The good news is that we have found peace and strength through prayer, scripture and going to church every weekend. As my Mom says you need to get filled up with God every weekend before you start a new week. His strength is mighty and love is overflowing! If anyone would ever want to go to church with us on the weekends just let us know. We go to Lutheran Church of Hope in West Des Moines.

I am excited to meet up with my parents today in Des Moines. I talk to them almost everyday on my drive home from work but it's nothing like seeing them and giving them a big hug! They are amazing people! We thank you for helping with my recent car troubles too. It was a huge help to Stacey and I after my car broke down on the way to the Badger game. Stacey and I both have amazing families and we thank God everyday for all of you!

We pray that the 11th round of Chemo starting on Wednesday is the one and we give it up to God. We are battling hard and just want to beat this thing. Pray for peace and strength for Stacey and I over the next few stressful weeks. Thanks for reading!

God is Good!
