Yesterday was our FIVE year anniversary. We started the day by going to see the most romantic movie we could think of: the Princess and the Frog! We saw it with Gma Karen, Aunt Katy and Gma Joyce (Lucy's Great Grandma). (We mentioned that Gma Joyce would be coming a couple of days ago and every time we mentioned the movie after that Lucy would yell "Gma Joyce come!" over and over-she was pretty excited.) For Christmas Marilyn and Steve gave us tickets to see Wicked in SF that night. I have wanted to see it for ages and was really excited. We got a call that day that our UCSF appointment needed to be changed to Tuesday-so we decided to book a hotel in the city so we could see the show that night and then just drive down the street to the Dr. the next morning. We loved the show and it was really fun to see it with Julie & Chad and all the Blodgetts. 
Our hotel was nice and only half a block away from the theater-we were really glad we had it when the show got out so late. This morning we woke up and headed to UCSF where we saw a Lymphoma expert to get a second opinion on the need for radiation. He looked at our chart and said strongly, "You have had a hell of a lot of treatment haven't you?" We said YES. He felt strongly that Danny DOES NOT need radiation based on the incredible amount of chemo he got. The long term risks of radiation (heart diseases etc) don't make it worth it. He also told us that the chances of Danny getting Lymphoma again are very small.
We're feeling very lucky and very blessed. Looking back on five years, all I see are miracles: we got into a school that wasn't accepting applications, we had a miracle baby, Danny married me! There are so many examples. I don't want to get too mushy, but I loved Danny five years ago, and I love him even more today. I look forward to all the years to come.
