Steve and I went cross country skiing across the golf course this morning. It was a beautiful clear sunny morning and the snow was perfect for skiing. Quite a change from sitting on the beach last Saturday. We knew we had to take advantage of the perfect conditions even though there were other things we could have been doing. Tomorrow the snow will probably be gone as it is suppose to be in the 40's with rain showers.
John and Jesi closed on their house yesterday. In this market it was a miracle that they were able to sell so quickly and get close to what they wanted to out of the house. Life should be much easier for Jesi and John being closer to family. Jesi hopes to do some substitute teaching in the near future and I will be able to help with John and AJ. The oncologist at Ohio State will still be the primary doctor for John but hopefully he will not have to make trips there too often.
As many of you know I have been following other melanoma bloggers in their journeys. On Valentine Day I happen to check one of the blogs of a young husband who lost his wife to melanoma last November. His Valentine Day post is worth reading if you have ever questioned the connection between heaven and earth. Here is the link:

Based on that blog post I offer this quote for today:
"Insight is better than eyesight when it comes to seeing an angel."

WOW! I agree - I don't believe in coincidence, I believe things all happen for a reason, whether we understand them at the time or not! Thanks for the link - it made my day - as your blog does for me on a regular basis.
So glad you got to ski - sand and snow - both white, both powdery, and both provide some fun!
Thinking of you, praying for you, loving you!
It is hard to imagine you cross country skiing this morning as we were on our way down to Daytona to watch Saturday's race after having carefully putting on tons of sun screen. Each year we go down for the Saturday 300 race rather than the pricier Sunday race. This year tickets for Sunday's race were selling for $600 each which is very much out of our price range.
Happy to hear that John and Jesi's closing went off yesterday without a hitch as being closer to home base makes such good sense.
Hope John's trip next week to Columbus goes well and that the news is positive! We keep praying and sending our love!
Any job prospects for Mike??
