What do you want for Christmas?

So what does Kaitlyn & Joseph want for Christmas?

Kaitlyn wants Zhu Zhu Pets & Beef Jerky.
(go ahead and laugh that is exactly what she asked for!!!)

Joseph wants (here do I start?): Star Wars (not specific so Santa must use his imagination), a Red Barron plane (a Tri Fokker and yes I know what that means), Soldiers (Civil War & Revolutionary War), Dart Gun (not specific but think BIG), & a toy M-16. - His first list had 86 items on it, so this is a slightly condescend version.

Less than a week til Christmas.

Do you know how to make a good holiday into a great holiday?

REMISSION!!!!!

That's right ladies and gentleman my cancer is in remission.

Just have to watch and wait, but that is better than chemo!!!!

Now all Santa has to give me is some more hair.

And that's what I asked him for.

Me, Santa, & Beth (Beth asked for a Corvette)

A moment for some thanks

I want to take a minute to tell you (and them) how great my family was been.

Mom - You have been so strong. You have made me so proud. I know this has been very tough on you and no matter what happened you have never broken down on me. I can never tell you how much I appreciate you and love you.

Carrie - My baby - no matter what! Shopping for me, taking the kids, and generally make sure I took care of myself. Sitting at the hospital while I got my blood transfusion was a great show of strength (when you consider what I was doing). You made laugh at myself. And of course you gave me a dogphew who adores his Aunt Stephie!

Nicole - Tough, I know not being here. But there is nothing like having someone to talk to, who knows when I am lying and won't call me on it (okay sometimes you called me on it). You have the ability to say the right things, put things in perspective and make me proud of you all at the same time.

Kris - Yes, your an idiot but your my idiot! You have stood strong and refused to treat me as if I am fragile. This has been rougher on you than you are willing to admit - you deserve a medal for dealing with me. Thank you for being you.

Joseph & Kaitlyn - My brave, smart, and funny little angels. Prospective is what you have provide me. Helping shave my hair, picking out my hats, cold kisses on the head, and combing my non existent hair. I am so proud of both you.


I have so many other people to thank and just doing this has made me cry.

So please know I appreciate you, your help, your thoughts, your prayers, you cards, and your gifts.

Thank you!!!
Love. Stephanie
