Yo! 6 Down, 1 to Go!!

Hi in July Blog Buddies!
I have been rather lax in posting, I know. There never seems to be enough hours in a day and I have to think about what to say. How do you like that poem?
Last year on this date, we traveled to Virginia to begin the final countdown events for Suzi and Jason's wedding. Now the love birds are in California celebrating their first anniversary! How could that be? I have thanked God so many times that I was able to get through that year before the banaca blast!
Since the last posting, we all participated in the Ride for Roswell on June 27th-- an annual event for the cancer institute that I spoke of previously. Dave and Greg rode 62.5 miles with our friend Mike in less than 6 hours with stops. Time on bike was 4 hrs. 20 min. It was a perfectly beautiful day. Suzi and I and Lynn (Mike's wife) were volunteers in one of the information booths. Over 6,000 riders raised over 2 million dollars at this event! Next year the goal is to be a rider once again.
The following Friday (7/3) Jason arrived to spend a few days with us before he and Suzi left for Virginia, then on to California. We got some good wii time in, and played several games of "Catch Phrase". One of Suzi's bridesmaids and her husband brought their little 2 month old baby Andrew to visit, and we also went to a graduation party. As always the time flew, and it was time for chemo on July 8 and 9. Now I'm RUNNING toward THE LAST CHEMO SESSION on July 29 and 30! On the 24th, I will be going to Roswell for a MUGA scan (to check my heart) and CT scan which will most likely determine how well the chemo has done it's work. We're hoping and praying Roswell will tell me to take a hike and not to come back for a while.
Phoebe the Clown (my other self) is getting ready for Bible Camp on August 10-14. It's called Crocodile Dock and will take us to bayou country with 40 little campers and almost as many staff. There's simply always something to look forward to.
So whatever you're looking forward to, just keep celebrating life day by day.
Healthy Hugs--
Teri
