Bungee Cords

When we moved, we had a lot of help and someone brought a clear plastic container of Bungee Cords and they were left at our house after the move, does anyone remember who brought those or whose they might be so I can return them to their owner?

Thanks,

The Picture that I Promised


Okay, finally here is the picture that I promised I would take of our new house. It is about dusk so the lighting wasn't that great but it is okay. You can see the new Cement that we had poured on the right side. That is for our Camper. I sure hope it fits.
We measured two or three times and every time it looked good but I am still nervous. We will see the end of the month when we bring it back home.

Thanks for stopping by

Weekend Entertainment

This weekend we were invited to go to the movies with some of my family and the movie we saw was called "Fire Proof" it was a very touching movie and had a lot of spiritual lessons in it.

We also decided that we needed shelves in the garage and built some and then cleaned up the mess that we had from the move. wow, it is sure good to get that whipped into shape.

Today is now Sunday and we went to my nephews home coming. He went on a mission to North Carolina and it was great to listen to his talk and hear all about his mission.

We have not really had that much else going on around our home and I am still waiting to hear more from my Doctor so at this point that is all I have to report.

SetBack to Report on My Health

Today we went to the Doctor's and met with the Doctor that reads the CT scan and he had a little different take on what he saw. He says that the Tumors in my liver are growing and have now increased enough to make him want to treat them. Not the news we wanted to hear, but we are going to fight this and get through it.

His suggestion is to meet with several other Doctor's and view the old scans with the new one and compare and make sure that he is seeing them correctly. At that point, they will set up an appointment with me to give me Radiation in small glass balls that they will feed directly into my blood stream and have then go directly to my liver. He said this is a very effective way of treating the Liver and thinks this is all that I will need. It will be two treatments, and will take a couple of months to set up and do.
I will keep you updated as I hear more.

We Moved and it went Great !

Well everyone, the move to the new house came and went without a hitch. we managed to pack up the moving truck and several other trucks and get it all over to the new house in about two hours. 8:00am to 10:00am then the hard work came of unpacking everything.

I cant say thank you enough to all those that came and helped. I think we had close to 40 people there and I don't know how we would have done it without all of them.

I still need to take a picture of the new home and post it on here and promise to do that real soon. (as soon as we find the Camera)

My health has been great. I feel better every day and my strength is coming back more and more as time goes by. I was even able to help with the move.

Thanks again to all who helped.

The Move Is On

As many of you know, we have been fighting two battles, one Cancer and the other is Fraud. Well, we have come to an agreement with the Bank on the conditions of the sale of our house and the purchase of the new one and now are moving this weekend.

We are happy with the agreement we made and feel it is going to be a good move. This will finally get this nightmare of Fraud over with and we will be able to move on with life. Amen to blessings.

I will post a picture of the new house as soon as possible and any one that has time Saturday morning at 8:00am and would like to help us move please feel free to show up at our house and we will be there.

for those that live outside of Utah, don't bother coming, we will be done moving before you get here.
Thanks for all your support and talk to you soon

CT Scan Results from Today

Well, I went in today and had my CT Scan and when I was done, I dropped in to my surgeon's office and he said he would take a look at the scan results and go over them with us.

He gave us the Good News that we were hoping for. He said that the scan looks normal and the tumors that are in my Liver are staying the same size and there isn't a need for Chemo. He said that I should just plan on coming back in three more months for another checkup and I should be fine. It was great to finally get good news.

Thanks for all the prayers as I go through this recovery process.

When it Rains It Pours..

Well, as you all know we are in the process of selling our house and we got an offer that we have accepted and are now under contract and will be moving Nov. 1st to the other house.

It is crazy because I am going out of town this week for work and getting back Thursday and then Friday (Oct 24th) I have my CT Scan and then the next weekend we move. I guess I should just be happy that in today's market we were able to sell our house.

So, the next two weeks are going to be busy to say the least but I am happy that our housing issues are going to be coming to a close rather than turning into a disaster. We thank all of you for your prayers. Again, we will let you know what the outcome is of the CT Scan.

Two More Weeks

Well I am about two more weeks away from going back in for my CT scan to see if my Cancer is growing. I am hoping for the best but in the back of my mind I am planning for the worst.

The past few weeks I have been reading up on my type of Cancer and from what I have read, the outcome does look good. I read that Pancreatic Cancer is a terrible thing to get with a death rate pretty high. but the Cancer that I have is a Carcinoid that is close to the Pancreas and not the same. They say that Carcinoid Cancer has a much better chance of survival and that is all I can hope for.

I will keep you all posted on the results when I get them. as for now, my body feels back to normal and I am holding my weight and doing fine.

Explained Stress

I realised what the stress was. Oct. 4th 18 years ago was the day my Mother died. I guess it was just catching up to me and that day always is hard for me.

My Mother was a wonderful woman and died way to young. (54) she died of Cancer which of course scares me but it was not the same Cancer I have.

Oh well, that day and that stress has now passed and I am feeling a lot better. I had the opportunity this weekend to watch LDS Conference and to listen to the wise council of our leaders. it was a great way to get back in touch with what is important in life. I really feel like one of the greatest things that was talked about was just doing something good for someone else will make you feel better. That is my goal. I want to do good for others. what ever it takes, I want to serve.

Stress !! I Hate It.

So you might have figured out by the heading of this post that I have been stressed a bit lately and I really don't like it. It makes me crazy and changes my personality which is something I hate doing.

So if any of you know of a good way to relieve stress, I am interested.

Happy Birthday !!

Yes, today is my Birthday and I am now 42 years old. Each birthday I have from now on will be a milestone for me and I will celebrate life.

One of the things that I want to do with my life is to make sure that every day, I make someone smile. I think that a smile a day is one way to make the world a better place.

That is not the only thing I want to do but it is a start. I know something bigger is in the works but I still don't know what that is yet.
