My wonderful brother Daniel decided to be extremely generous and take a good portion of the family to see Mary Poppins at Gammage.  Audrey, Grace, and I were able to go and loved every second of it!  My daughters have never been able to experience a broadway show before so this was extra special for them.  I was very proud of their theater etiquette.  The whole show was really great with wonderful set changes lights, and of course a flying nanny, but as a tap dancer myself, I must say that “Step In Time” was my absolute FAVORITE!!!  Thank you Daniel for a night to remember.  We love you!

I had a mouth full of metal for almost 3 years and I hope there is a difference…or that was a waste of time and money.

For the very few who read my blog, most of you are aware that last October my Dad was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor.  This came as quite a shock to all of us in the family, but we were determined to strengthen each other and get through this together.  Since October, my dad has undergone a round of Radiation and Chemotherapy which was followed by an MRI very recently to check the results of these treatments.  The result was nothing short of miraculous.  He went today to the radiologist who happily pronounced him “clean”.  The tumor is gone.  He has been put on a maintenance program for the next 12 months with the chemo and has already finished his 1st round of that.

Prayers have been answered and faith strengthened within our family.  I feel truly blessed that my father has done so well with his treatments.  I have always known him to be a strong man physically and spiritually.  This trial has just proven to me what I have always known and believed.  My dad is a faithful man and our Father in Heaven is merciful.  I love them both.
