Friday was so nice not having to go to radiation! We never left the house (except sitting on the back patio) until we went to WCHS' Baccalaureate service. What a special service honoring a special class. It was very emotional having Tom close in prayer. What a long road of recovery we've been down and for him to be able to be there, fully capable and able to pray before a crowd was remarkable. We give God ALL the glory for what HE has done in Tom's life to bring him to this point. For 17 years we have had the privilege to have Tom serve as the principal of WCHS and reside over the graduation ceremonies and it felt so right to have him back!
Sarah came home for the weekend to go to a bridal shower for her good friend, Rachel Wigton. After enjoying a Saturday morning family breakfast we were able to soak in some sunshine that gave us our vitamin D for the day! Sarah and I were able to go to the bridal shower while Tom took his afternoon nap and Matt went golfing with friend and neighbor, Sam Coon.
We will look forward to Rachel & Caleb Stertzer's wedding on July 16th. What a beautiful bride she will be! It was a wonderful shower. Not only was Rachel showered with gifts, but I received one too! Dear friend, Chris Grant blessed me with a brand new bike helmet! Tom had bought me a new bike last fall, we had just started biking more frequently and we were looking forward to this spring, summer and fall to bike again. Well...for Valentine's day I had gotten Tom a new bike helmet...and the rest is history. Chris' husband, Chuck, was in a terrible biking accident in Florida over Spring break and she wanted me to be sure to bike safe...with a helmet! Thank you Grants! Chuck is doing well, but still mending from several injuries. The helmet is an inspiration piece also to encourage us that "one day" Tom and I
will be riding our bikes again!!

It was a wonderful shower, Lisa, and it was so nice to see you. I wish we had been able to talk a little more. I did not know Tom said the closing prayer at Baccalaureate...what a blessing for everyone and how very emotional for your family, Tom's staff and the student body. We are praising God with you for the faithfulness He has shown you this far. And we will continue to pray as you have a rest from treatments.
Isaish 28:12 "This is the resting place, let the weary rest...."
