March Update

Hello All,
I am sorry it has taken me so long to update my blog. I have been crazy busy.

February ended on a low note. After the passing of my friend Carls mom, things were very hard. Her funeral was beautiful, but it was a reality to me that death can trump my life. However that is really no real way to live life... so I continue living.
Carl and I have become closer and we chat daily,

My friend Todd has been doing well.. I think. I have not spoken to him in a while. After a few of his chemo treatments, he left Chicago to go back home to Columbus OH to visit his family. I have not heard from him since. I hope he is well. I have been talking to his brother Troy as well.

As for me, I have had my ups and my downs.
I am currently in the middle of a job search. That has been stressful.
I went to Seattle Washington on March 5-8th. The conference was called
NASPA - Student Affairs Administrators in Higher Education. It is when colleges and universities from all over the country come together and do a job hiring conference. It was amazing. I had over 19 interviews. I did very well. I am still currently doing phone interviews and on campus interviews. It has been fun, but stressful. Wish me luck

As for my health -- things have been good. I have been feeling great. However, you have to remember that I live my life in 3 month periods now. I have to visit my doctor and get a full body scan to see how my tumors look every three month. Well, my three months are almost up. The week of April 1 (our universities spring break), I will need to go to the cancer hospital and my tests done all over again. Blood work, scans, and doctor appointments will happen all over again. I am not looking forward to doing all of this, however, I know that it is necessary.

So that is my update. I thank everyone who has been contacting me for an update.
I will let you know when I have my tests and the results..

more to come......

FYI: it is almost 80 degrees here in California today.. so i'm going to go enjoy the weather!
