Quick Update

We not only got to 5 million we got to 5.7 million!!!! 

That last day of collection Dad collected almost 1.4 million cells :)  We definitely have enough for the 1st transplant and we will get enough for a 2nd transplant should we ever need it (hopefully not though)  when he goes back up on the 18th.  Ryan and I will be going up that weekend too!

Mom and Dad are home and other than being mad because the house is going to be messed up again things are going good,  we had dinner with them Tuesday night and then Dad went to work yesterday and so did Mom.

My plans are to be up in SLC from the 18th-21st of Feb,  from the 3rd-6th of March and then again from the 24-27th of March.  My brothers will be going up end of Feb and my Aunt Janet and maybe my mom's friend Pat will be coming to visit my mom in March while I am in NY.  I am not happy that it will be almost a month in March when I will not be able to see them, but we have had this trip planned for a long time thinking he would have been out of the hospital by then.  At least I know people are going to be there with her so she wont be all by herself, the days can be long and lonely. 

Ryan and I are just plugging along,  he studies alot and I've been busy at work so once again our only free time together is on the weekends.  We tend to want to just veg and see movies because we are so busy during the week, I love it.  This next Monday we will celebrate our 6 month anniversary and Valentines day.  The time has gone by so fast and I am so lucky to have him,  I love him with all my heart!

Oh and we are 1 month away from our trip to New York City and Philadelphia.  We leave on the 12th and go to New York first and meet up with our friends Walt and Lexie where will will spend 3 1/2 days in NYC and then take the train up to Philly and re-visit Ryan's mission days we come home on the 19th!  Walt is actually a old mission companion of Ryan's and him and his wife went back to Philly last year so that's why they are only going to NYC :) He is excited to show me Philly and I am excited to show him NYC!  Its going to be a great trip we are so excited!  

Until next time Happy Valentines Day to all!!
