3 weeks and counting!




Hello all,

Mark is doing well this weekend. We are so glad to have 3 weeks behind us. He would only be happier if we were at the end of week five! He is sure ready to feel himself again and is really hoping for that after treatments are over.

It was good to see our family over the weekend for a wedding. Congratulations to Adam and Natalea and best wishes for many happy years together. Thanks for allowing Abby to participate in your special day and for allowing the rest of us to share it with you.



Also, a very special birthday wish to my friend Barbara. It is hard to believe we have been friends for sooooooo many years. I know you have a few more days to enjoy your thirties, but thanks for making me a part of your celebration. Barbara is another one of our many "real friends". (See post from October 19th for more explanation)
And I couldn't forget the Windthorst Volleyball team. They are allowing us a trip to Austin next weekend. Thanks Tanna to you and all of your teammates for working so hard this year. We look forward to watching you in your final state volleyball tournament next weekend. Anyone in the Austin area next weekend should make plans to watch some good volleyball. Go Blue!
What a weekend! So much to be thankful for. It is Thanksgiving everyday around here, but I am sure looking forward to celebrating all that we have with family and friends as the holiday nears. Thanks for everyone and everything you do - everyday. Missy

Missy, thank you again for speaking to the Parenting Class! You teach with such ease!
I forgot to tell you how beautiful and angelic Abby looked in the wedding. She did a super job!
We do pray that Mark continues to feel pretty good after his treatments and that the time will pass quickly.
Hope to see you this weekend!
Love and blessings, Aunt Peggy

Missy, It is so encouraging to hear that Mark is tolerating the chemo treatments. He is on the prayer list at 1st Baptist -- Cisco, TX as that is where I attend church. He will continue to be on our prayer list until he no longer needs it. Love & hugs, Mark's cousin, LaNell Shoemake
