July 5th, 2007

Happy 4th of July..2007. We had a wonderful evening with friends grilling, swimming and watching the fireworks. Our summer has been very nice. We started the kids break from school with a trip to Mishawaka, Indiana. There we met up with my sister and her family, who came in from Colorado, my brother and his family, and my dad, who live in Mishawaka. I also had the opportunity to visit with extended family and long time friends. It was great to see everyone and reconnect.

This summer I am working less, just Monday and Tuesdays, so I can spend time with Brian and Bonnie while they are on break. They are growing up so fast. I think this is the first summer where they sleep in......I forgot about that stage. Realistically, I could probably work half the day and they would not miss me a bit. At least I don't have to worry about making breakfast for them.

I am doing well health wise. I had lab work done a couple weeks ago and met with my Oncologist. All is well. In October I will have a CT scan of the chest and meet with my Radiation Oncologist. I continue to do all I can to keep my immune system strong through healthy eating, exercise, low stress and positive thinking and lots of love and prayers. I am grateful for each day. I appreciate your interest and concern.

Much love,

Denise
