I just got done chatting with a friend who was telling me that between Facebook and blogging that she feels like she has a social life, without even having to leave her house. I agree. It is amazing how much these things help you feel connected. I know that it would have been so much more difficult to go through what we did with Chase without having the online support we did with her carepage. But it is amazing to me how we have just gotten back into life and how little time I now have to write on these our two blogs.

We have had some big news and big changes happen since I last wrote. Our big news is that our daughter Chase has been chosen as a National Spokesperson for St. Jude Children's Hospital! We are so excited about this. This will require quite a few speaking engagements and some media events and then in September they will be flying our whole family to Disneyworld! We are so proud of our little girl and all that she has accomplished. The big change in our life is that Josh has moved on and is no longer living with us. He is a good kid and we are grateful to have had this experience. Our house also seems much quieter now.

What a great opportunity for Chase. She is an amazing girl and this opportunity will be a great experience and help so many. Her experience however trying and difficult that it was will bless the lives of all those she meets. Your family continues to amaze me!
