My sister-in-law and her family came to swim this evening. On our way down to the beach she updated Josh and I on my father-in-law’s latest cancer scans. She had gone with my in-laws to St. Louis today for his appointments. The spots on his lungs are still staying the same or shrinking, but he has new spots growing in his leg where the original tumor was. He had been on a trial chemo drug but that is over now. His doctor is switching him over to an oral chemo pill now.

After swimming we came back up to the house to change. This is probably going to sound completely ridiculous, but I was kind of excited to have them inside where I could direct them to the back corner of the house with the freshly cleaned bathroom and the two coming together bedrooms that are not quite done but are looking like I can tell that work’s been happening in there. I was proud of how my house looked, as in, I wasn’t ashamed to have people around.

I think that’s the way it’s supposed to feel. We’ve reached the point of summer where it’s beginning to feel long. Writing later at night I’m sure has something to do with it. By evening time I’m definitely ready for bed. Everyone is home from chapel now, getting ice cream, playing the piano, getting ready to watch a show. They’re watching a comedian who is actually pretty funny. I’ve watched this show before though so I’m probably just going to head to bed and call it a night.
