Where in the world....

Where in the world are the Schmits?? Today we were in the white sandy beaches of Miramar, FL. We left monday night for the long car journey here. My parents joined Eric and I on this adventure. We were blessed to find a beach home last minute. A friend offered up their lovely home for us to use for the week. It came with a private beach, 2 pools, cabana boy that put up beach chairs and umbrellas! They have spoiled us. I cannot even begin to voice my thanks. It really does bring tears to my eyes to think how blessed we are with friends, and family offereing their help.

We've spent the past days on the beach and shopping. Elliot hates the beach. He loves the sand, but the sounds of the water scare him. He ran along the beach and loved it. My parents sat with him while we swam in the ocean. Elliot has been fun to watch during this experience. I cannot quite put into words this trip. It has been utterly amazing.

Now for the latest news. I spoke to the radiation group today. I start radiation Monday morning at 10:30. They are going to do 16 rounds of radiation. It really depends on how I do as to how much more I get. Its been interesting on the phone calls Ive gotten lately. The oncologist had a chaplin call me and attempt to talk to me. (I was at the beach, missed the call). I was shocked that they had her call. With the fun here its been taking our mind off my situation. We have a few more days to keep our minds off of this until we go back to reality.

I will try to update the blog over the next couple of days with our beach adventure.
