It feels like these last two months have flown by, it could be because I am so busy and have only been home a few weekends :) My poor primary class will go 5 weeks in a row without me (one due to stake conference in my defense). I warned them when they called me that my dad was right in the middle of treatments out of state and there would be quite a few weekends in the next couple of months I would miss and they still called me anyways...
I just returned for a trip to see my Dad and Mom in Salt Lake, I had a good time with them and it makes me feel better to go up there and take care of them for a few days so I feel like everything is okay. I know sometimes I bug them because I just take over but I feel like there brains can use a rest for a few days so let me do the thinking. :) Sunday we got the call that my dad's numbers were on the rise and they wanted to start collection. I felt like that's what it would feel like if you were running to the hospital to have a baby, one minute my dad was sleeping and my mom and I were folding clothes and the next minute we were throwing on clothes and out the door quick. I don't think my dad actually woke up until we actually got to the hospital. :) We learned he collected 1.37 million yesterday which is good considering his white count was so low. We are waiting to hear what his numbers are today but he has been experiencing alot of bone pain which they say is a good sign that everything is stirring around in there so we are hoping for big numbers today! UPDATE JUST GOT THE CALL and he collected 6.9 million today so we have 14.4 million total!!
This Saturday Ryan and I are headed on VACATION!!! We are excited with work, and school and everything else we have going on we feel sometimes we are stuck in a routine and so a week off of both of just being tourists sounds heavenly right now. We are stoked to be meeting some friends in New York and are ready for some fun! I'll be blogging pics when we get back :)
Then end of this month we will be going back up to SLC for my cousin Kristal's wedding, I am excited to go to the Salt Lake Temple for the first time, she is going to make a beautiful bride. We will be staying with my mom (my dad will be in the hospital getting his new cells and new life back!!)
Soon it will be April, and the only time I am leaving town is to break my dad out of the hospital and bring him home!! Other than that Ryan and I are working on the yard and the house to get ready for summer.
Thanks everyone for supporting us and sticking by us for these last crazy months :)
Love to all!
What an exciting next couple of weeks--and I can't wait to see you at the wedding!
