Return to the long, dark tunnel...

It was Halloween morning and a thick blanket of fog lay over the road as he drove to Idaho Falls. Paul had been summoned yet again to the lab for more testing. He knew what awaited him - a dark room, needles, radioactive isotopes, and of course, the long, dark tunnel. But he was ready...for another PET scan. Everything went well. We have an appointment with the oncologist on Monday to discuss the results of the test and decide what course to pursue. If things look good, then we'll continue with chemotherapy. If nothing has changed, then we'll look into other options. Paul is feeling good and has been working since we resolved a glitch with one of his medications (thanks, Carol!). The boys are busy with school activities. Cameron was in his 4th grade play and did a great job. Parker had fun on his date and at the Halloween Dance afterwards. Hayden is getting ready to attend the Boy Scout PowWow at BYU-I for the next two Saturdays. He was ordained a Deacon in the Aaronic Priesthood last Sunday by Parker. That was a neat experience for us. Parker did a good job, in spite of being a little nervous. Hayden is also going to be working for the same guy that Parker works for, filling nail holes in the trim work on a house he is building. Jacob is working hard at school and very interested in Transformers, especially after seeing the movie multiple times! Tyler is staying busy working with Paul. I am trying to get ready to register for school in a few weeks. I'm going to visit with an academic advisor to get some suggestions. I may be rethinking my major. But I can still get busy with my Generals. The University has reworked the General Studies curriculum so that it is pretty much the same for all majors. Theoretically, you can change your major anytime in your freshman or sophomore year and you won't have any wasted credits that don't apply towards a major.

It's hard to believe it is November already! Thanksgiving is just about three weeks away and we are looking forward to seeing many of you then.

  1. The kids loved the costume pics! Our prayers are with Paul for positive test results. Wow school, that is GREAT! I wish I knew what I wanted to be when I grow up.
