Thankful Thursday

Overwhelmed has been the theme for the week. Monday we were overwhelmed with the fact that there were two more treatments. Not oh only two more but geeez how long are we going to do this? It was like whining from the backseat on a long road trip "are we there yet?" It felt like we were just pulling out of the driveway even though there was only two left.

So they dropped the Oxyplatin and I have decided not to be anxious about it. His progress is going in the right direction and who is to say it is all three drugs are making the numbers decrease. It was a good move for his overall health. You never know where that fine line of side effects are temporary or permanent. So we are not fretting about it. Just continuing to pray that things go in the right direction.

This Thursday I am overwhelmingly thankful that we are going to Houston to watch UK play in the final-four on Saturday night. A friend made the unselfish choice to send Craig and I to Houston for the weekend. She insisted to pay for the tickets and the outrageous plane fare. We are overwhelmingly thankful for the opportunity to not only see UK play but to get away for the weekend.

When people find out I am a UK fan they start talking players and championship games etc etc. Honestly, I know very little about the players (unless I read about their jorts on facebook) and I know very little about the past wins. The reason I bleed blue is not b/c of a great basketball team with banners but b/c of the amazing people I met there. The four years that I spent on that campus were full of great people. Probably the greatest people on earth. And the one that topped it off was Craig. He is the reason why I am a UK fan (even though when push comes to shove he is a UofL fan...hmmm what round did the Cards go down in...). We went to class together we spent most days together on campus. We made so many memories (some that we can't remember) there and loved our time at UK. So I am grateful for a weekend of making another UK memory and bringing home a W!

So that is Thankful Thursday, pretty easy one this week!

There are more dates and doctors appointments coming up that we will blog about later but tonight we are thankful for an OSU (!!!) fan's generousity to let two UK fans add another memory to the long list.

GO Cats!!!
