Well, it has been a busy couple weeks for us. John's sisters were in town for a visit for a few days, then a bunch of his buddies from high school and college came last weekend for some guy time. It has been great for John to spend time with friends and family to take his mind off treatment.
Today was John's first day of Round 3 of his chemotherapy. He has been pretty nervous about it after how sick he felt from round 2, but day 1 went well. They started him on a third med that he takes each morning that is supposed to help with the anticipatory nausea. We are hoping it helps make this round go a little smoother than the last.
We are also spending time trying to decide on a great vacation. We figure after everything that has been going on for us over the last few months, we really needed to take some relaxation time. John usually has a two week recovery time after each round of chemo which puts us at Feb 14, and it just worked out that the next week is his Winter break from school, so he gets an extra week before he heads back to work. Thankfully I got the same week off work, so we are heading somewhere warm. We have been looking at all-inclusives in the Caribbean. It is so hard to choose, they all look beautiful. I'm not too particular...all I need is a beach, temps in the 80's, and a fruity drink.

I am soooo glad to hear this news!! You guys have certainly deserved a vacation since November! I hope you can truly enjoy it. Let's get together late February or early March when John's immune system is working better and he is back in the swing of things at work.
