A Night to Remember!!!

Ron was so honored to be invited to attend a dinner with "PStaff" and the Logan leadership team in Logan last night.  He was originally suppose to be in the hospital for his finale IL2, but because he was unable to have that done he was able to go to this dinner.  What a BLESSING!!!! I wish I could put into words what this night meant to Ron.  It was FANTASTIC!!! I feel like it's ok for me to brag, since I'm not the one who works with these people, so I'm going to.... They are ALL so kind, and loving, and worried about people more than the job, and it truly showed last night at this event.  Ron has told me on many occasions how blessed he feels to be a part of this organization and last night I got a taste of that feeling! I don't mean to gush, I am not very good with words, but these people have given Ron so much encouragement and help along this very long journey, and that helps him even more, to continue with his FIGHT!!! Thank you so much to all of you for the wonderful evening! It will not ever be forgotten!!!

So it's been a full week of taking his chemo, he has begun to have a few side effects, but nothing that cannot be controlled at this point! We are holding our breath that it stays this way.  Rocky (our dog) and I stay awake many nights and just watch Ron with our fingers and paws crossed that he wont have any reactions! I know it sounds silly but that is what many of our nights are like.

All in all we are taking it one day at a time, however we have decided to set some long and short term goals for us to look forward to and plan on! Short term our son Logan and his wedding day to his sweet fiancé Lauren less than 2 months now and we can hardly wait! We love her so much already and can not wait to have her be a part of our family.

Long term we have many and will keep making them! My goal is to keep Ron as active as possible and spending all the time we can with our family and friends.  And thanks to all of the good people around us that has not been hard to do!

Cancer is hard and has a lot of bumps in the road.  One of Ron's favorite talks is by Elder Bednar, who is one of the 12 Apostles, its called "Those Facing Adversity to "Shrink Not."  Part of this talk Elder Bednar is speaking to Elder Maxwell about his own journey with cancer and this is part of that talk. "During the course of our conversations that day, I asked Elder Maxwell what lessons he had learned through his illness, "Elder Bednar stated, "I will remember always the precise and penetrating answer he gave: 'I have learned that not shrinking is more important than surviving.'" Ron has told me many times that he hopes that he too can be that kind of a person throughout this journey no matter the outcome, we know that it is always in the Lords hands and he will direct our path for good.

Thank you everyone for all the prayers, love, and kindness that has been sent our way we are so grateful!
