Well, 14 years ago today John and I were married...whew!!

I can honestly say that the past couple of years have been tough for us...really the past three with John's dad passing away in 2006...and I cannot imagine going through any of it without him. He has been an amazing partner and father. Couldn't ask for any better.

Eli's team is officially training. If you haven't gotten a letter from me, you will in the future. Please give as much as you can. As I have said, pediatric leukemia is a success story in the world of cancer, but there is so much that we need to learn. The good thing about LLS is that they also help support those families that need help during this crisis in life. I think that is a good thing. We are so blessed in that we don't have to worry about our medical bills, transportation, etc. It is a real problem for many folks, especially in today's economy. So, give, give, give.

You will here much more about this as the time gets closer. WE will be walking on Valentines Day, 2009.

Thanks for checking in. Because Eli's counts were good and he was on steroids this week we get to miss a week at clinc whahooo....

I am thankful for John and my marriage.
