We have had to fly that past three years on Christmas. It is totally worth it, but I sure can't wait to have our own house someday.... Hope you are doing well!

Jaci, I think about you all the time...and I'm just wondering, would you mind posting a little bit about how you're feeling and how chemo is going and everything?

I'm glad the weather was nice for you while in Little Rock! We have only been here a few months, but I can't believe how cold it can be... oh, and the endless amounts of rain!
