We spent Sunday afternoon back at one of our favorite hikes: Bull Run Mountain. But this time we had the company of four other families! Two of Darcy's friends leave the country this weekend so this was a last group activity before everyone scatters. AJ & I (CJ) loved sharing one of our favorite vistas with everyone. Our kids can be less than enthusiastic about hiking, so it was a real treat to have four of us smiling at the top of this mountain. (Nate is at cross country camp.)
After the hike we went to one of Andrew's favorite restaurants and I was surprised with a cake to celebrate my upcoming birthday. It's a good reminder to celebrate each day as we wait for the results of the August 9th pet scan to determine our fall schedule.
It's not easy waiting, since there is so much we cannot plan until we know the exact date of Andrew's transplant. But it's been easier than it might have, given Andrew's good health, exciting & meaningful work, and the company of good friends. As I write this, Andrew is en route to Seattle for a short, but action-packed, business trip.
Meanwhile, the moms & daughters are booking pedicures for tomorrow. It's much easier to "take one day at a time" when we remember to celebrate the present.
