Congratulations Holly for Graduating from BYU. Class of 2010.

Alright alright it's my turn to blog. Eric here, going to give you the readers an update on our lives. Be forewarned I am in no way a good writer. I can't compete with Holly and her blogging skills. And don't make fun or judge me if I use the wrong kind of "there". So without further ado let's get on with it.

First things first. We went to the doctor last week for my 2 week check up. (I will be going every two weeks until my 100 day mark which will be the beginning of July). The check up is just some blood work and talking to my doctor. My levels were great last week. My levels were great last week. My white blood cells were at 2.98! Anything between 3-10 is normal, so I'm getting there. All other blood work looked great. Dr. Gilbert talked to me and pretty much said don't get sick in these next 100 days and we will go from there. They took my pick line out of my arm, so I'm normal. Since then my showers have increased dramatically. The doctors also said my hair should start growing back in the next few weeks. It's good to want to go to the doctor now, I like seeing my progress and getting my dose of confidence from my doctors that I'm doing what I need to, to beat this thing.


This may come as a surprise to some of you but we are moving this weekend. Apparently we thought we were getting a great deal on this place, turns out the rent price was for EVERY MONTH, not flat. We were shocked when we got an eviction notice. No, our landlord's daughter is getting married and then are moving in here. We found a place just south of campus close to school and Holly's work, and will be living there for the summer. We are sad to move but I don't think it has set in yet. We love our branch and the friends we have made in it, we like it here but what are ya gonna do?

Next I want to take a minute to give some shout outs. If you don't make the list or I have forgotten about you I blame it on chemo brain. Mikey and Melissa came down for Melissa's graduation. It's always fun to see them and hangout with them. Davy and Hillary came over and we met little Ollie. Cute baby, fun stories an all around great time. The Mahan Clan (Mike, Cindy, Gram, and Kelli) were also here this weekend. We had a great time of eating and catching up on life. Last weekend my good friend and mission buddy Kirby came down for the weekend. He makes Visitor of the Week. He's a great friend and I had a great time with him. As you can see, we have been very buys the last couple weeks. It feel great to be eating and feeling normal again. I played some basketball yesterday for about 20 minutes. I give a shout out to my basketball shot for coming back so quickly. We have missed each other.

Lastly I want to chat about Holly. I often tell her that since I have gotten sick she has dealt with far more than I have. I truly believe that. Let's talk about it, since I got sick (only a year into our marriage) Holly has managed to finish her last year at BYU, get a job the second we needed one, and take care of me while trying to deal with this garbage herself. She is Superwoman! I married a strong woman. I am proud of her for graduating and always being positive. She is now working at her new job
and bringing in the bacon. Holly is amazing, but we all knew that.
