Thanksgiving was strange...we traveled to Pittsburgh, but spent the weekend without Mom and Dad, who are still at the National Cancer Institute in Maryland. The trial has been called off and a new chemotherapy regimen has been started, but Dad is not well enough to travel home. He is experiencing extreme pain...continued prayers, please.
Nun and Uncle Mark cooked us a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner. It will go down in history as the quietest dinner ever to be had in that family. The meal was fantastic (thank you!) and we left with plenty of left-overs. Although we were quite sad that Mom and Dad were not there, we were able to spend some time with some cousins and friends.
Thanks to Mike and Ali Baldauff for giving of your time to fix our car! While the boys worked in the garage, I enjoyed time with Ali and their new baby, Abigail (even though she pretty much slept the whole time). We later met up with John and Mary Nelson, cutest couple in all of Erie! We miss those guys.
On Saturday, John and I enjoyed a day out in Shadyside. We walked and shopped and had coffee and hot dogs from the sidewalk vendor. :) Later we had dinner at Lulu's Noodles with Katie, Jake, and Laura, our friends from Geneva! It was so refreshing to be with old friends. We sure miss being closer to you all!
No updates yet on PA school. I am still awaiting a decision from Chatham University in Pittsburgh. I am nervous and scared and sad and glad. Can't wait til this process is all over with.
Well, maybe I'll give sleeping a try again. Thanks for reading.

It meant the world to us to have you guys here. I miss your mom and dad so much and to have you here....well....with life balancing in the air for all of us I was so thankful to God that I had you here. All I do all day long is pray for broken hearts and strength for everyone. I love you both. Thank you for sharing yourselves with us.
Our love to you. We missed you this Thanksgiving as well. I'm sure Johnny missed Dad's pumpkin pie, and I sure missed a quient Thanksgiving with you guys. What is that, by the way? I've never seen one.
Love mom
