What a weekend!

For Jillian's week off chemo we decided to make it the best one yet! Since we were already up north and all jilly talked about while she was in the hospital was the vacation house we took the extra drive up to Lake Tahoe. We come here every year in September and Jillian loves it here. The great thing about this time of year is that it is snowing! The kids were so super excited to see the snow and already have been playing in it. My amazing wonderful awesome Uncle Terry and Aunt Cindy were able to get us a suite at the Stardust which is basically in the heart of downtown. It is super nice and will and Jill love it here. We got in a bit late and weren't able to do much today but tomorrow we plan on taking them to play in the snow and ride the gondolas along with many other things I'm sure. It was such a spur of the moment trip (which sometimes turn out to be the best ones) and I am so excited we just said to hell with it and came. The excitement on the kids faces are well worth all the effort and long drive.

We had planned on going to San Francisco today and in a way we did. We drove through fishersman warf and Daniel got to see the giants stadium which he totally loved. Daniel highly enjoys going to the city since he was born and raised in Houston he misses the big buildings. I think he fell in love with San Fran but I'm not much of a city girl. The traffic alone drives me nuts. We got to drive on the bay bridge and the kids were so in awe. One more thing to check of the family bucket list! For the most part we just checked out the city on our way to Tahoe. Since we decided to come up here we didn't want to spend too much time in SF. We will eventually make our way back if Daniel has any say.

Today our awesome family and friends in Texas through Jillian a fundraiser there. From the looks of all the pictures they had a blast! I can't believe how much support and how amazing all our family are there. Jillian is so lucky to have people who care about her from everywhere! The fundraiser went amazingly and they raised a ton of money to go into Jillian's account. Thank you all so much from all of us, the amount of work everyone put into the fundraiser was insane. I LOVE LOVE LOVE all the shirts you made for her. Please send me one! :-) I hope one day soon when Jillian is all healthy we can make another trip to Texas to come visit everyone. She deserves to meet all the fantastic people who thought of her when she was sick. Thank you so much! Christine please send our gratitude to everyone who participated. We love you all.

I will post pictures of our mini vacation as we go. We are so happy to be able to take advantage of Jillian's week off any major treatment. She is feeling great, keep those prayers coming for no fevers. I hope everyone is have a fantastic weekend!
