Well, we are officially past the half way point of chemo-therapy for Alyson. She is doing great. She is now off of the drugs that cause her hair to fall out, and now on to the drugs that make her joints ache. But the big thing is that she is on the home stretch. We anticipate the end with great hope and excitement. Things are going really well. Brooks is just getting funner and funner and more difficult to keep up with. He had a great weekend as he spent the night at my mom's house Saturday so that Aly and I could go to a wedding. On Sunday we went over to my dad's house for a birthday party and he had a great time with the family and my dad.
It is hard to believe that we start school at the college in 4 weeks. I don't know where the summer went. Alyson and I want to go camping at some point, but don't know if it is going to work out or not. We are also excited for Alana Logue to come up here from Texas for a visit. Alyson will be happy to see her as they became pretty good friend while we lived in Texas. Her husband Clint is too much of a wimp to come up for any length of time. He says its because he has so much to do for their upstart business, but I think he is afraid that he will like Michigan. I guess some people can't handle 4 seasons.
We hope that everyone who reads this blog is doing well. God is good...all the time!
I love my wife, my two sons, my family, and my life. I get paid to watch kids play a game that I love. I love being a college basketball coach.

If I want a blizzard I will go to Dairy Queen. What part of Canada is Michigan in?
ha! Clint you are so funny. Thanks for the update, Brian. Aly amazes me with her strength. She is an amazing example of how God is with us. I'm so glad Alana gets to go visit!
Hi Alyson! Awesome to hear that you're almost done with your treatments. Sounds like you guys are keeping busy too. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Good seeing you guys last weekend. Continued prayers for your family!
One of our newer sisters at church just completed the same type of treatment that Aly is going through. Last Sunday morning it was announced that she was now cancer free. The whole church broke into applause! I can't wait to applaud from afar when Aly gets done with all of this.
By the way Clint, if you are going to to Michigan, now is the time to do it! It is a far cry from West Texas. No desert, sand, sagebrush or cactus. You might really like it!
God is good all the time! There are no mistakes when you are a child of God, there are no unfair doings when you are a child of God, some day we will all see the pieces of this puzzle and many others and it will be a beautiful picture. Brian and Alyson (and little bull dog Brooks) you are a blessing to me!!! Love, Mom
P.S. to Craig Martin, I cannot believe you did not say good-by to me, what is that all about???
How's it going out there?? I think of you three all the time. There are many train whistles here and each time I hear one I say a prayer for you.
