Bah Love Bug

I've always hated Valentine's Day. I'm forever thankful that I'm with someone who thinks it's just as silly. I firmly believe that you should do those little things on normal days if you really want to show someone you care. I think she agrees because it's not uncommon for her to come home with a Dunkie iced tea for me for no reason at all.

However, we're not stupid, we celebrate the day after Valentine's Day with a passion, it's half off chocolate day! Now *that* is worth a celebration.

Year One Down

It's been one year. A whole year where half was spend getting biweekly updates about chemo treatments and radiation. Then another half of a year where my mother redefined tired. And yet, somehow she went to work every day but 4 days. She managed to see her grandson at least twice a month and nag me from across the country. A year of my dad being a shining example to all husbands on how to be supportive and take care of everything. It was a year that I really learned how much I care about my entire family. I'm glad it's over, but not as glad as I was today when I heard mom's tests were clean.

I can't wait for this year.
