Feeling good, enjoying life

Well I got to watch my son, Tony, marry his beautiful sweatheart, Emily, on Saturday in Laughlin, Nv, the wedding was so nice, simple and heart felt, the kids seem very happy. Then after relaxing a while some of the families had to return home and the rest of us went swimming and ate, then just relaxed and let the little kids enjoy themselves at the lake for a awhile. I feel good enough these days that I offered to babysit while all the young adults wents out to a movie, Hannah actually entertained the boys and watched them while I just over saw the whole thing. She made popcorn and got drinks for them, she also got the mess on Sunday morning!

Anyway I am feeling stronger and stronger every day. I havent been riding my horse yet, but I will get to it. For some reason my left leg is still a little weak, (thats the one I need to step up in the stirrup) I may need to start lifting weights or working out to build back up. My scalp doesn't really hurt anymore but some of my hair is still falling out. I have enough in the back still for a small pony tail, that makes me feel better. My eyebrows haven't fallen out yet, that will be another real sad day if they do, I hate that cause I am not very good at the make up thing and painting eyebrows, I am still considering tattooing them on though. I really hope I can stop the chemo drug soon so maybe my hair can sart growing again. Since being in the hospital I had to start taking a blood thinner, its a daily tummy injection, not so bad, but I am always bruised, good thing half tops are out, LOL.

I have to fill out graduation announcements this week so I can get them in the mail, KJ graduates on June 4th. This has been a trying year for him, I am so glad school is almost out. Kami will be glad for summer break she doesn't really like school either but at least keeps her work done.

We will be going to the family reunion again the year, its the week end before the 4th of July weekend, so like June 27th. I hope some of my older kids will be able to go. I think we are going to spend a day on the beach/coast or something fun, we have a week (before the 27th) before Kent has to be back to work on the 29th. I want to go salmon fishing but not sure what the season is so I have to check on that. And of course we will spend a night with my brother and visit as many people as we can during the week.

It is nice to not be so tired all the time, I just have moments now and not every day. I mowed some of the grass today and weeded my teeny weeny garden, its about 8 by 20 is all, so not much work. Now the wind is bowing about 40 mph so I called it a day outside. I like a gentle wind but when I cant catch my breath it is a little strong. Anyway I fingured I would type a note and let the wind blow with out me !!

It was so great to get to meet you & all of your family on Sat. & put names with faces. Kent did a very nice job on the ceremony. So wonderful to see what a supportive family Tony has! I'm so glad that you are doing better and that you have more energy for all your upcoming events. We should get each other's emails so we can communicate that way. Take care, Cheryl
