Day 60!!!!!

I envisioned myself blogging about all the interesting stuff we did this weekend. The problem is we didn't DO anything interesting! Kristen didn't feel very well Thursday night and even threw up a little. She didn't say anything about feeling bad on Friday until we were already out. We were headed to the Galleria for some back to school shopping for Steven and lots of looking for the rest of us. Of course, everyone wanted to eat at the Cheesecake Factory. Afterall, it was national cheesecake day. So we ate a quick lunch and then headed right back to the apartment. Saturday we were all just plain lazy. We slept in (some of us later than others). Steven slept until 1 pm! Oh, to be a teenager again and sleep all day and stay up all night. Ok, I can't yell about it. I had gone in to wake him up and ended up falling back to sleep myself. So most of our day was shot before it even started. No one could decide what to do, so Devin I went to grab a few items at Central Market. We ended up making fajitas for supper and watching a movie. We watched Flatliners with Kevin Bacon, Julia Roberts, Kiefer Sutherland, and Billy Baldwin. Man they looked so young. Devin and I realized that we were around the same age. I can actually remember where Devin and I were when we watched the movie the first time. We had rented it and were living in League City, TX at the time. I ordered it for Kristen on Swapadvd.com. I've been trading DVD's there and getting Kristen some old horror/thriller movies. Sunday came all too soon. We had a nice Sunday Dinner and then it was already time to take the guys to meet Keith and Eric at West Houston Airport. Now the apartment seems very empty and very quiet. It's okay that we really didn't do much of anything. We were able to be together and that time is priceless. I felt like Steven and Devin were a drug that I just couldn't get enough of. Thank you again Keith and Russ for making it possible!

As we count down the days until Sept. 10th (Day 100), please pray that we remain at peace with the process set by the doctors. (I would've said patient but I'm too afraid to pray for that!!) We get very antsy at this point hoping that she will get to go home early like last year. We must plan for the long haul and hope for an early release! Pray that Kristen's body continues to gain strength and that the stem cells are doing their job. Pray for the goal of freedom from AML.

And now to all my girlfriends. Happy National Girlfriends Day! Without you I'd be crazier than I already am. Scary?
