So much to update, where do I begin? Well, I got engaged on 11/19! YEA!!! The wedding plans are coming along, but I am holding off till after the holidays (merry Chrismukkah!) to set concrete plans and make deposits. The one set detail is that in lieu of party favors we will be giving a donation to St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital in honor of our guests.

Little Miss Sydney Dungan is doing well. She is preparing to go to Sloan Kettering in New York as a possible candidate in a trial. However the latest news is that she may not have relapsed afterall. That would definitely be a Christmas Miracle!

Join me in grieving for Mrs. Monica Jeral (age52) who went home to glory 12-17 after a year-long battle with Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. She leaves behind her husband, daughter and two sons. Say a prayer for them as they deal with this difficult loss at an especially difficult time of year.

Please also add Mr. Joe Lewis to your prayers. Joe is a 30-something father of three young children (ages 9, 7, and 5) who is battling a relapse of Non-Hodgkins. He had been in remission for about 2 years now and this news has been devastating to him and his family, which also includes wife Marie. From what we've been told, a relapse of N.H.L. is very bad and treatment options are few. He is currently working with drs. from Sloan Kettering. Pray for them during this difficult time.

One more prayer- Alex Scott's family will be traveling this holiday season. Pray for their safety and for comfort as they deal with this first Christmas without Alex. And for all the other families who are experiencing that difficult first this year.

And a request from miss Juliana Banana- Please: if you are not already registered, go register for the bone marrow registry list!

Merry Chrismukkah! I will update again after the holidays!
