Being the Recipients of Selfless Acts of Love...........

     I have to write this while I'm at chemo today. We had the progressive dinner yesterday, it was fun but exhausting. Mark only went to the main course at Lorraine & Cort's house. Santa came for all the kids. Courtney was so sweet; she went shopping for me, made the salads, helped clean up etc. Chris helped also just not quite as much as Courtney. At the beginning of the week I was exhausted from getting up with Mark in the night. I had a final on my birthday and then went to chemo (a 2 med week). So between taking care of Mark, me being sick with chemo and having to get Paul up and ready for work and then being up in the night with Mark I was shot! I ended up keeping Paul home a couple of days.
     Monday night Ethan and Michael (some boys in the ward) put the lights on the tree. On Tuesday Lisa and Jenn came to help clean the house and decorate. It was really nice of them. They decorated things differently than I usually do, it was really cute. I got a new perspective on how I could decorate things differently. Wednesday night we celebrated my birthday. I got a new laptop and its touch, very cool! My other one is so slow and I'm afraid it was going to give out in the middle of school. It’s really nice. Chris did a great job picking it out and then following through with getting it after the stores web site went down right after going on sale. Thursday, Friday and Saturday I was sick. Now the littlest thing makes me throw up. On Friday my dear friend MaryAnn and her husband Paul paid to have their housekeeper come to clean my house. It was so needed for me mentally they will never know how much I appreciated that! Saturday was the ward Christmas breakfast, we went but got there late, we made it though. People were really sweet to come and say hi. Again Courtney was there to help Mark with getting his food because I wasn't feeling very good.
     Our sweet friends and ward have been so awesome to help us with bringing in meals, cleaning, picking things up at the store, sending notes, and stopping by. My family has been just as awesome! My Dad calls me many times to see how I'm doing, even though he's going through his own health issues right now. 
     If ye have done it unto to the least of these then ye have done it unto me...

Thank you so very much to all of you who have touched our lives in so many ways, may you all be                                                           blessed as abundantly as we have...
