Kyle finally came!

Kyle came to see us last week and we had so much fun showing him our city, eating lots of hotpot and seeing the nation's capital. Kyle, thank you for diving right into our lives. We love you!

The Asian Rocky Mountains

The most beautiful place we have been to yet...

My life is hilarious

Check out a performance at an English competition last night that I was judging. Not sure how it proved their English level, but it made the evening a lot more fun!

Christmas in Asia

It's been a great Christmas here! We've loved celebrating with friends. Heading off to ice skate today to complete the fun.

Update on Gary

(from his blog) Great news! Rejoice with us! We are giving God ALL THE GLORY! WOW! He is amazing! I am “squeaky clean”. My bone marrow biopsy was clean and all the DNA tests came back clean. This means I am in total remission! Thank you, Lord!

We will proceed with collecting my own stem cells for transplant next February. We meet all day this Thursday and next Monday morning with the doctors to evaluate me for the stem cell transplant itself—lots of lab work and tests. The stem cell collection process will likely occur during December. I will still have two more rounds of chemotherapy in January before the stem cell transplant. We will have more details on the stem cell transplant timing and process after our meeting on Thursday.

We still have three to four months to go on this journey. Right now, the disease is gone—the rest of these treatments are to make sure it doesn’t reappear for as long a time as possible.
