Good Morning - Day +310
310 days out from my Stem Cell Transplant and still going strong. On this weekend last year I was receiving my first ICE chemo.
I cannot tell you how NICE it is to not get CHEMO on my birthday for once. 
It has happened the last two years.
Oh yeah .. today is my 37th birthday!
Carrie and I have just been spending some time together. I did not want to do anything crazy this year for my birthday. I just wanted to spend some quality time with her.
We ended up going to The Windmill Saturday morning with Carrie’s parents. Saturday evening we went to the new Chicago Uno’s in Webster with my parents.
We had a really great time both places! We even saw Anita & Rick Dibble AND Tyler & Jill Sweeting. So it turned out to be a really great night.
Sunday Carrie and I just hung out. We went to CompUSA to buy some Drive Trays for my PC. Carrie also picked up Quake 4 for me!! After CompUSA we headed to Pittsford and had a quick bite to eat and then hung out for awhile at Barnes and Noble. There I picked up the new Wheel of Time book: Knife of Dreams!! I have been waiting a LONG time for this book to come out. I also picked up a new book: Dies the Fire by S.M. Stirling. So far it is a good book.
Tonight we’re going out to dinner and possibly a movie.
I have to say this is the best birthday I have had in a long time. Not that the last two birthdays were bad … I just did not feel that great.
I just wanted to say how much I love my wife. She is my best friend. I could not imagine my life without her nor do I want to. Just being with her this weekend and not really doing anything was possibly the best present I could have received. There were no doctor appointments to worry about, no chemo drugs to take, no anti-nausea medicine to administer, and no cancer to beat. Life was normal for a change.
Thank you Carrie for making my birthday so special. I love you.
