Ben was really excited that I changed the background on his blog to trains!! Anything trains right now is super exciting for him so of course I scored big points.

Hello everyone,

I wanted to thank you all for your support since Ben's diagnosis! You have all been so wonderful and I really appreciate it. I wanted to invite you to visit another blog of mine. I am doing a fundraiser for an organization that is very important to me. Visit, take a look and let me know what you think!

Almost Spring

Winter has been soooo cold compared to Arizona but we are starting to see some small signs that our spring is approaching. Being here for a full year of seasons I can finally say that Spring is my favorite.

Ben is doing wonderful and he is really enjoying a lot lately. He seems to be so Joyful over so many things. His last appointment went well and his next appointment will be March 3rd. They have also given us an ending date for his treatment which will be October 26th of 2012. It seems so near yet far away at the same time.

We are moving to Louisville which is about 1 and 1/2 - 2 hours away. It is still close enough to my parents that they can be very helpful to us if something were to happen to Ben. I am sad to be leaving but also excited about feeling like we get to start again now.

God has blessed me so much today. We have friends in Louisville that I know from Arizona. I contacted them to let them know that we were moving nearby only to find out that they were moving back to Phoenix, AZ in early march. However my friend has just put me in contact with another family who have a boy with leukemia. I am praying that the Lord will build this friendship. I do not know the circumstances yet of what type of Leukemia the other little boy has so until then please pray for this family as I am sure they can never have too much prayer!! Be prayer warriors for them as well!!!

Love

Jamie
