All smiles :)
There wasn't a lot of action to update on this past week, but we did receive one very BIG piece of good news. Wednesday evening we got word from my grandparents in Little Rock that my grandpa would be coming home in 7-10 days. At first, I was concerned and thought maybe something was wrong and he couldn't have the transplant. After a quick explanation, I felt tears of joy streaming down my face. The doctors can't find ANY cancer in my grandpa's body. He is cancer free and does not need a bone marrow transplant. This is a huge miracle and we are so grateful that God has shown His healing hand in our family. The doctors are going to take some of his healthy stem cells and store them this week in case his cancer was to come back in the future. That way they could just pick the treatment up where he left off and wouldn't have to start the entire process over. We believe that God has healed him and we won't have to deal with that again. His main doctor in Little Rock is Muslim and does not believe that the Lord is responsible for this outcome. Our prayer now is that she will come to realize that there is a God and He loves her and wants to show Himself to her. We are all very excited and encouraged and can't wait for them to get home.

Manic Monday
Ross says its been too long since I updated our blog so I guess I should do something about that! :)
Since my last post, my grandparents have traveled back to Arkansas where they will be staying 4-5 weeks. Papa will start some extensive treatments. I don't know all the details but the doctor was very hopeful and said she didn't foresee any problems with the process since he was in such good health for this condition. She did, however, say that if he did not complete this treatment, then he would have approximately 2 months to live. With a successful transplant, he will have probably 2-3 years. This was very hard for me to hear at first because 2-3 years doesn't seem like a long time, but that's just 2-3 more years to spend time with him and pray for a miracle. We serve a healing God.
Also, we have continued our marriage sermon series at church. This past Sunday morning, my mom preached and spoke on healing from past hurts, relationships, abuses, and wrongs that we bring into our new relationships/marriages. It was a very powerful message and I'm so proud of her. She's an amazing woman of God.
UK has been on a quite the winning streak this basketball season so that means Ross is one very happy boy. He hoots and hollers and you'd think he was sitting on the bench with the rest of the team, but I think its pretty cute (most of the time).
Last night, we had our connection group at our house to watch the Superbowl and eat pizza/snacks. I think we all had more fun watching/critiquing the commercials that the game itself.
We dropped my parents off at the airport this morning for their annual trip to Puerta Vallarta, Mexico. They meet with AG missionaries and directors there once a year to get updates, have meetings, and plan for future agendas.
I think that catches everyone up in our lives. I'll try to do more regular posts to keep everyone (Ross) happy. :)
