THURSDAY JUNE 26th

Good Evening. After swimming ALL DAY our boys are still going strong. They managed to lay on the couch for about 1/2 hour to watch SpongeBob and now they are ready to go. Jeanne and Dana brought the kids squirt guns and now they want to use them! Imagine that.

Let me just say that we have been getting AMAZING meals delivered to us! How special it is to get meals delivered to our house that are prepared by our friends. YUM YUM!!! Every little bit off my plate helps tremendously. Thanks to everyone who is bringing us meals!

Well, our house will officially go on the market (tears) very soon. Mrs. Lee (the owner of our home) wants to sell it for $655,000.00. I am afraid that it will sit on the market for a very long time at that price. She is so sad that she has to sell because I know she cares for our family and especially Gary. It is just really BAD timing. I know we lease this home but it has become our home. We have spent hours and hours painting it and landscaping the yard and decorating it and loving this house. We wanted to make it special for our family regardless of whether or not we owned it. We had every intention of hopefully buying it someday but now that will not happen given our current state of affairs. Our home is the constant in our lives. The kids friends and school are so important to them. If it sells and we have to move it will be truly sad. I don't know if I told you but the other night Gary was so overcome with saddness and anger that he questioned whether God hated him. Everything is just so emotional right now.

I will tell you that I have peace. No matter what happens I will continue to believe that God is with us and wants the absolute best for our family. We will need to make some decisions soon as to when we need to move. Do we wait until it sells? Do we try and find a place now? It is so hard to know what to do and the thought of moving makes me sick to my stomach. Like I said before God is always with us and so I will not stress over it (too, too much).

Gary is fairly sick from the chemo and we have an appointment with Dr. Barth tomorrow. I am dreading it so much. He seems to always try and make us feel like we are 2 feet tall. It is so hard to talk to him and even harder to understand him. We will kame our list out tonight of things to discuss.

We signed the kids up for Kids Factory for the summer. It is run through Capo School District and the program is every day from 8:30 AM to 12:30 PM. Can you believe the cost is only $20.00 per kid FOR THE ENTIRE SUMMER! You can send your kids EVERY SINGLE DAY! They love the people who run it and they play games and have art and on Fridays it is water day! It is at a school in Mission Viejo and if anyone is interested in the program you can E-mail me directly and I will give you more information. lisa@mountainviewchurch.com.

Dinner is ready - YUMMY Spaghetti Pie! I need to feed the crew so I am off!

I hope you all have a GREAT Friday and I will update with our doc details tomorrow evening!
Love to all,
Lisa
