Busy Life!





Hello! So much has happened in the last few months. A.J. is crawling now, and he is almost ready to walk! (AAAHHHH!) He gets into everything, so JonAaron and I have had to baby proof our house.
We went to St. George a few months ago as well before I started Radiation! Thanks so much to Josh, Jennica and Abby! We had so much fun staying with you guys! A.J. really loved Abby, it was really cute.
I have started Radiation, in fact I only have about a week left. It is definitely better than Chemo! It burns my throat, and it is hard to swallow, but it really isn't too bad. The people at Huntsman are awesome! The whole process of radiation therapy looks a little strange. They make a mask that goes over your head and neck. It hooks into the table that you lay on so you don't move and they can hit the same spots every time. They also bind your legs so you don't move. The whole thing takes about 15 minutes, so it's not bad at all. Better than 2 hours of Chemo! (yuck it makes me sick to think about it!)
JonAaron is still waiting on a few internships, we don't know if we will even go, but it will be exciting if we do.
We took A.J. to the zoo last week too with some friends and family. It was fun, but I don't think A.J. cared too much. We got a year pass to the zoo, though so if you want to go, let me know! I would love too!
Thanks again to everyone for all you have done for us! We are so lucky!
P.S. I would love to look at some of your blogs that are private, the address is jonaaronpaulsen@gmail.com, so if you could add us, and then let me know that would be great! Thanks again!
