Leaving Today for Disney

It is 7:00 in the morning and i can't seem to sleep, too much excitement and anticipation. Thanks to a great deal of time, hard work, brainstorming and generosity of our friends and family, we are going to DisneyWorld for a week of fun and family. It is unbelieveable where this all started and where we are today. (It began with the discovery of anoher brain tumor as well as new tumors in the breast and abdomen and saying...what the heck, there is no time like the present!) The extended families (my Judson family, MOPS, the Groffs, St Andrew Lutheran, Moms and tots, our neighbors) God has put into our lives bring happiness on a daily basis but have really glowed with compasion in our time of need in the hosptial and our time of excitement for our Mickey trip. I often think how life would be different without my cancer. We probably would not have our beautiful Chinese princess or my Mops family that make me laugh and give me great support in many ways. We would not be going on this trip right now. Yes, life would be different but we have chosen to enjoy the path we are on for whatever time we have. Thanks to everyone who has helped to make today a reality. I appreciate my wonderful husband and kids who love their wife and mom no matter what road she drags them down! Thank you to the Johnson, the Morris (all the millions of them!), the Van Cleave and the Williams family for always being there for us by thought, prayer and never ending compassion. We are off! pray for good health! i am without an IV for the first time in weeks. feels goooood! Hope they don't wiegh our "large Marge" suitcase like they did in China or i am in trouble and i have not even bought souvineers yet!
