City of Hope-Bone Marrow Transplant Celebration of Life-10,000 lives SAVED
I had the honor to celebrate life with Naomi Larsen this weekend! Jordan and I got to join her come together with thousands other cancer survivors! I hope to never forget how precious life is, and how cancer has affected EVERYONE. I could see it in everyone's smiles and hugs, they know what their lives cost and they live everyday in praise of miracles and medicine.
Naomi, Lance, and Jordan took a photo here 12 years ago! Never knowing they would be here years later to tell their story!
(Naomi with her Doctor and Jordan)Book Club- The Good House and Brainwashed
So I took the leap and joined a women's book club and there is no turning back! My mind was so stimulated in conversation and laughter, I forgot what I had been missing. Its like the best parts of school, you get recommended great books without the grades or homework. The women in my group are amazing and very insightful. Our group reads african american authors and it leads to always interesting and layered conversations. It was nerve racking to go and meet strangers but totally worth it!

Small Group BBQ-Married and Lovin It
The third new edition to our lives is married small group. The nerves were a little less since this is a small group you get to start together, but Jordan and I had low expectations. We were once again AMAZED, we were welcomed into such an amazing group of couples. With a range in age and experience, I have grown to love each person. So to show our commitment of course I volunteered our house for the BBQ. The weather was great, the food perfect, and conversation just natural. I have been so humbled to be a part of couples intentionally doing life together.
So hi to all our family and friends, we still do miss you each. Sending our love!
