Well, this is certainly a week for celebration. Tomorrow (June 7th) is Jen's birthday! She was able to celebrate with her parents who came for a visit this past weekend, and my parents as well. She is pretty proud that for the first time ever, she has more birthday/Christmas money than I do, but my birthday is just around the corner too, so if you have any money burning holes in your pocket, you know where to send it come August!
For her birthday, Jen wants to take a trip back to Pittsburgh (where we met). One of her favorite things to do there was Saturday night Swing Dancing in Squirrel Hill. So we'll head down to one of her favorite restaurants, do some shopping, visit some friends, go back to our old church, and maybe catch a Pirates Game (I won 2 free tickets when we were there a few weeks ago!).
But more important than Jen's birthday (well, maybe equally important) is her anniversary. Tuesday (June 8th) will be her 5 year anniversary of being cancer free! The 5th anniversary is the most important as it puts her back in the "normal risk" category and will save us a trip to Cleveland every year! God has blessed us so much over the past 5 years, but has also given us a prospective that everything we have is God's and can be taken away at any moment. It has helped us focus on the Blessings and see each day as a gift. I hope to post this week as well as to why (from a Biblical perspective) Jen was healed from her cancer. But now is the time for celebration! I know Jen checks here a lot, so feel free to leave your "Happy Birthdays" and special thoughts as a comment on here, or feel free to e-mail her at jen@magicmikeshow.com
Enjoy the wife you married as a young man! Lovely as an angel, beautiful as a rose. Never quit taking delight in her! (Proverbs 5:19-20) Love you Jen!

what a wonderful time of celebration for you both!!!! I feel honored to have been in school with you & to "know" Jen via prayers through the years. I am grateful to be sending special Anniversary greetings too!!! How great is God's healing!?! ( And one of my good friends just had her 11 year ovarian cancer free!! ) Look forward to more praying for you guys in the years to come.
