I almost feel like myself sometimes.

Jacqui started back  to work on March 18 – all the pieces fell into place and she didn’t have to retrain – so she’s been back at it for almost 2 weeks.  She’s so happy to be there, everyone welcomed her back and she’s quickly getting into the swing of things.  It’s taken a bit of getting used to being on her feet again for long periods, but they are letting her take time in different areas to get her used to everything again. 

Last time I said that her surgeon didn’t want her to have any CT scans in the next while to avoid alarm at what may be “suspicious readings” as a result of her surgery, but her Oncologist wants her to have one done so that he can get a baseline for future consideration.  This caused us a bit of anxiety of course, but they are quite insistent and I guess we can always opt to not hear the results.  Either way, she’s having it on Friday, April 5^th and then goes for her regular oncology appointments on April 22. 

Those dates just come way too fast. 

In the meantime, Peter and I are headed to Mexico.

One week on our own celebrating our 30^th anniversary and then the second week we will celebrate the wedding of our nephew, Ryan to Holly with family and friends – so wonderful.  People keep asking us if we’re getting excited, but I can’t even imagine it – I just keep thinking something is going to happen and we won’t be able to go.  Having said that, I am packed…

I feel like I’m constantly having to work those hope and faith “muscles”, it’s amazing, no matter how fit you try to keep them, they always ache just a little bit.  Shouldn’t it get easier?

Jacqui is continuing with her running and so the four of us are registered for the Mother’s Day Run – 5K - so that’s something to look forward to! It just makes her so happy to be able to run and that’s always my favorite way to spend Mother’s Day.  Last year Ty graduated from university on Mother’s Day, that wasn’t so bad either!

Anyways, just a bit of news, life just keeps marching on,

 and we're hanging on for dear life!
