6-Month Check-Up

In case any of you happen to think to check this blog or stumble on it by accident (like Suzanne from Colorado did recently), I thought I should give you the 6-month update. (Yes, it has actually been six months since this all
started!) The good news is, all of my check-ups came back clear!!! We're so thankful!!! It was a little unnerving to start back through the medical system again - waiting for test results, meeting with doctors, etc. It does bring back memories. For the most part, we had been able to put the cancer behind us since my radiation was finished in July and kind of hated to be reminded of it again. (Even though there's always just a little hint of it at the back of your mind.)

So, we praise the Lord that we're able to move on with our "normal" lives for another 6 months! What we want to take from this experience is to be reminded of God's faithfulness and goodness, rather than having it leave us with a sense of anxiety about what could have happened or what might still be to come. "Yet will I exult in the Lord, I will rejoice in the God of my salvation." Hab.3:18

Just a bit of "normal" news - We're halfway through the first semester of our new teacher education program and things are going well. We're excited to have 26 students! Ron and I, plus Kris and Kym, will spend Thanksgiving with my folks in Modoc. Ryan (Kristy's boyfriend from Denver) will join us for the rest of the weekend back in Elyria. We're excited that all the kids (along with Ryan) will be here for Christmas! We trust each of you will have a wonderful holiday season. I'll try to be more faithful in updating this site with family information now that there's less need for health information.
We're thankful to be able to get back to our daily lives. Mundane is good!
