Congrats Jon!


{ This is the chalkboard we made from an old platter.  I've started leaving messages for Jon on it everday.  It hangs by the door to our garage, and makes me happy.} 

Six years ago today, we got the results of Jon's last bone marrow biopsy....REMISSION!  {I'm tearing up just typing that} We were told a couple months before that the doctors thought he was probably in remission, but the final word was oh-so-good to hear!  I'll never forget how happy we were, and what a blessing it was to recieve such good news right before Christmas, and to be able to celebrate with our family.

Today, six years later, it still chokes me up.  {see above} 

Jon, I cannot tell you enough how proud of you I am.  I'm sorry that sometimes I still take you for granted, but  days like today remind me just how blessed we are.  I love you so much.  Thanks for fighting.  I don't know what I'd do without you.  ~jen

I plan on surprising Jon with a bottle of champagne when I get home.  Although, I'm not sure it will be a surprise.  I'm pretty sure I do that every year! 

I hope you're all having a lovely week, and if I'm not on here again before then, have a MERRY CHRISTMAS!  I still have lots of baking to do, a couple of small things to grab at the store, and a house to clean!  Are you all ready for Christmas?

Oh, and I have so much to share with you all!  I'm hoping to catch up next week while I'm on vacation!  Ahh!
