Still here.
I know, I know...its been about four weeks since I've posted.
Rather than dwell on the fact that I've been MIA, lets marvel in the fact that I was able to keep it up as long as I had. I mean seriously - I was averaging about 12 posts per month for a pretty long stretch.
All is quiet.
I'm feeling pretty good and have mostly forgotten that I am living with cancer. Certainly I have my moments of fear (and hypochondria), but by and large I am controlling my own destiny and living life.
We had a great vacation about a month ago and we have been going full steam ahead since then. Kristin is in the process of opening a new shop (target of early November) so I've spent most of my weekends building cabinetry for her cash stand, shelving, etc. I enjoy the building - the staining/sealing...not so much. We are going to employ my mom in the next couple weeks to help with painting, assembly and more.
It's great having them in town and it even afforded Kris and I an adult night last week. We had some old neighbors over for a dinner party. It was our turn to host so Kris and I picked up a free-range, grass fed standing rib roast which was just awesome. We purchased it from a local market so we felt good supporting a small business with local meats/produce. I'm all for a global economy, but I like to keep my money in the state if I can.
Kids are doing great and growing like weeds.
Better go. More. Soon.

Three reasons to keep fighting.
Been feeling really great the past couple weeks...which in turn means very few posts to the blog. I have story to tell about the dentist, but it will have to wait until tomorrow...I need to log off for the night.

STATUS
Health, good.
Family, good.
Home, good.
Had a nice vacation last week. I went back to the homeland (Michigan City) and enjoyed a carefree week including visits to the beach, zoo, Redamaks and Swingbellies.
Kris the kids and I were able to catch up with a lot of family while still having some downtime for just the four of us. We staying a in a resort community called Beachwalk which is essentially a bunch of cute, colorful homes nestled in an amazing streetscape. I should also mention that its only a 10 minute walk to a very private part of Lake Michigan.
We can't wait to go back and even talked about buying there someday (very, very far down the road).
I started editing all the video last night - I expect that will take the better part of the week to get trimmed down to the highlight reel.
