Day "73"


Today, Jeff did the most NORMAL thing he has done in 73+ days...he went to see a movie at a movie theater! While for most of you it would not be a big deal, it was HUGE for Jeff! He had literally laid in bed for most of the day, not feeling well at all. Then, around 5 p.m., he decided that he needed to get up and move his muscles. Joel happened to be in SLC for work, so we met him at a theater and watched Valkyrie. Jeff has wanted to see it since it first hit the theaters, but that was when he was stuck in the hospital with almost no blood cells in his body and no release date in sight! :) On the way home, Jeff reported that he felt better than he had felt all day long...it is amazing what a change of atmosphere can do!

That is so awesome. Dan and I went to see it the other night. Dan loves the movie he is a history buff. I thought it was ok but not one I have to see again or own. It is so good to here that you are feeling better and getting out and about a little.

Anthony Robbins on Commitment

"I believe life is constantly testing us for our level of commitment, and life's greatest rewards are reserved for those who demonstrate a never-ending commitment to act until they achieve. This level of resolve can move mountains, but it must be constant and consistent. As simplistic as this may sound, it is still the common denominator separating those who live their dreams from those who live in regret."


I just read this quote and thought of the two of you. I don't know if you could say it any better. I think that you are living proof of this quote. Thanks for the great example

What a fun treat. It is definitely the little things in life that mean the most.

Hope your two little ones are improving and that you can all be together soon!

Well, if it makes you feel better, Jeff- Jayson hasn't even seen it yet! So you are ahead of the game! Glad to hear things are going well!
