September 12, 2012

Life is good!  New milestones, new adventures, and many changes to come.  Our world is ever changing, but it is a great time to be alive.  Being able to stay connected to people via modern technology continues to blow my mind, but I really love it.  Recently, I returned to school and  have found that most of my work for class is done on the computer.  Though challenging and overwhelming at first, I can now say that I am thoroughly enjoying it.  Thankfully, I can always rely on the tutoring of my children to get me through the rough spots.  

Speaking of children, it is hard believe that my son Brian will be graduating from high school this year. We have been touring colleges, getting the necessary paperwork together and will soon sit down to get the applications rolling.  We are relishing each senior year activity, knowing it is going by all too fast.
My daughter Bonnie is a sophomore this year.  She got her driver's license this summer and is loving her new found freedom.  Between her very active social life and her dance involvement...she is on the go all the time!

My heart is so grateful to be here for these milestones.  This month marks my 7th year anniversary of lung cancer.  So many people have guided me, supported me, loved me and prayed for me through these seven years and I am very thankful.  My kind, loving and most patient husband, has been right here with me through my journey of revamping my entire lifestyle. Though he may not jump on every band wagon, he is extremely supportive in helping me achieve my goals.  I am blessed.

With school, my leisure time is... non-existent.  Our extreme temperatures and drought made that transition rather easy this summer.  Thankfully, I will be done with phase I, in my back to school mission, by March.  This will give me enough time to prepare for Brian's graduation celebration.

Our lives are very full and rewarding.  We are all enjoying excellent health and happiness!  I cannot ask for more than that!!!  

I am posting a couple pictures of Brian and Bonnie.  One is from homecoming 2011, and one is from our summer vacation to NYC.

My best to you, 

Denise
