This past weekend a group of nine of us went camping at Fort Stevens. I'd been wanting to go there for awhile, I have such great memories of camping there growing up, but since it's by reservation only, it's really hard to get in. A few weeks ago I checked to see if by chance there were some open sites and there were! So we loaded up everything on Friday after work and went. It was so much fun! I don't know what it is about camping, but I love everything about it! Joe and I roughed it and were in a tent, but that's one of the best parts!
As we were crossing the bridge on our way back into town yesterday, Louis and Ann, some of our friends from college, called and they were passing through Longview on their way home to Seattle from Cannon Beach so we got to see them. It was so good to see them! Even though we reeked like campfire and were pretty grungy looking, I'm glad we were able to meet up with them. And I got to see Ann's ring. It's gorgeous! I'm so happy for them!
As far as my health goes, I started my third week of radiation today. It's going good, except it's making me really tired. I'm usually in bed by 7:30 (tonight is a late night for me!) and it's a struggle to wake up in the morning for work. Going through chemo is starting to feel like a dream now. People ask me about it and it doesn't seem real. It feels like it was so long ago. I'm so happy that chapter of my life is over with! I think I might be starting to get sick now though. My throat is killing me and I've been coughing a lot. Hopefully it's just allergies. Or perhaps it's from being so busy over the weekend. It doesn't take much to wear me out!
Thanks again to all of you for your support. I know I've said this a million times, but it means so much! I couldn't have gotten through this without all of you!
