October is quite a busy month

Last weekend I went camping with some good family friends. We went up to the mountains and spent a wonderful Fall weekend camping. It was a ton of fun and very relaxing! It was beautiful fall weather and was actually the hundredth anniversary of the annual apple festival in the town. So my mom and I bought an amazing apple pie on our way home and enjoyed the drive on the the windey road with the changing leaves blowing in wind. It made me all warm and fuzzy inside just as anything fall does.
Tomorrow my mom and I are headed out to quilt camp. It is a group of my mom's friends and some of their daughters who get together twice a year for a getaway to quilt and do craft type things from scrap booking to knitting and everything you can think of in between. Lots of talented people and a nice weekend to just get away and finish some of those projects you wish you can do but never seem to find the time to do at home. It should be a good time and I am looking forward to another weekend away from the house. I have quite a few projects I am hoping to do so I hope I am feeling good to sew, sew, sew away!!!
I also wanted to mention that next Thursday the 15th I am going to have my one year bone marrow biopsy and aspiration to check for any leukemia or cancerous cells in my bloodstream. I just ask that if you think of it to pray for me on that day. I am scheduled to have it at 9:00 am. I am not too worried about it but it is always a little nerve wracking thinking of the possibility of it returning. So if you think of it please keep me in your thoughts and prayers on that day, I would appreciate it very much.
Then on the 22nd I am finally going to be able to make my first trip on a plane since I got diagnosed. I am taking a trip back to Montana to the Bible College for a week. I can't wait to go as I have not seen a lot of the people since I left to come back to Cali. It will be the first time I have left my mom for more than a day since all of this started. I think my parents are a little worried about me going, but what are parents for? I am very excited but I would be lying if I said I am not a little concerned about being so far away from my doctor and hospital in case something happens. You never know because sometimes I am perfectly fine one day and the next I end up in the ER. But I am just praying that everything goes smoothly and I am able to enjoy some time away from my normal routine life.
So as you can see this month is getting pretty jam packed with things to do. It is a lot of fun but tiring at the same time. I am thankful for the opportunity to do all these wonderful things.
