Week #2 of radiation is now done and the hustle and bustle of the holiday season continues. I am thankful that Mike is now on Christmas break from school and will have two full weeks off at home. We have an action packed couple of weeks coming up with plans with family or friends every day from now until after the new year! This past Saturday we celebrated my father in-law Mike's wedding to Diane. It was a fun day spent with lots of family and friends. Congrats Mike & Diane! It has now been over four months since I shared my "30 Before 30" list with all of you and I figured it was time for a little update on my progress. :) I'm looking forward to tackling the things I haven't had a chance to cross off my list yet. Three more months to get it done. :)
I am so excited to have one of my best friends from college coming to visit tomorrow! My friend Sarah lives in Denver and it's been way too long since we've seen each other. She is driving up from her parents home in Louisville and will be spending a couple of days with us. I cannot wait to see her! Hope you are all having a great week and gearing up for a wonderful Christmas weekend! Happy holidays! xoxo, Meghan ps. Please take a quick minute to read about a sweet little boy who really needs some help during this holiday season. I hope that you can stop by and help if you are in the Troy area Tuesday. Thank you! Here is a message from my Aunt Erin... "Want to take a minute to tell you about a little boy who needs our help, his name is Gabe and he has Leukemia. He is five years old, just started kindergarten when he was diagnoised. After under going his first couple rounds of chemo, he contracted Guillian-Barre Syndrome, as a result he cannot walk, is very weak, and treatment has been stopped for now. Gabe is in desperate need of a bone marrow transplant. His Aunt Kathy is a friend of mine, she along with her family will be having a BONE MARROW DRIVE TUES 12/20 from 6-9 PM @ Church of Latter Day Saints 2784 Square lake Rd in Troy. You simply fill out a form, and get a swab of the inside of your cheek. You must be between 18-60 yrs, HIV, AIDS, and Cancer free."

Wow lady, congratulations on getting through so many of the items on your list, I am more than impressed and it is clear that you are not letting "C" take away your joy, ambition or love for life!!! You continue to inspire us all and I just pray that all the good you are doing continues to come back to you "karma style"!

Congrats on accomplishing so many things on your list! For # 29, you might be able to find a gift certificate laying around your house somewhere. I gave Mike a gift certificate to a place on Catalpa (I think it was called Royal Oak Massage) for a massage a few years ago for his birthday so he could get a massage after he ran the marathon that year. But, surprise surprise he lost it, haha! He may have accidentally thrown it in the garbage like he did with your doctorate degree ; )
