Good evening. I hope you are having a wonderful evening.

Saturday was a VERY busy day! Bryon had to work, and the girls and I went to Lucy's baby shower! I had to get gas in my car before we left for the shower. We had so much fun at the shower. The 4 of us all drove together~~no sense taking more than one car down to Gardnerville! Besides, with the third seat down in my Pilot there was room for all the gifts! It was a very nice shower. When we got home I needed to make some Biscotti. Well, I didn't HAVE to, but a woman from church wanted my recipe, so I thought I would make a batch to send with the recipe. Bryon was still at work, and wasn't sure when he was going to get home, but hoping it was before the Bighorns game! Well, he wanted me to just pick him up to save time (he works between home and Reno). I had just enough time to make the Biscotti; I literally pulled it out of the oven, put it on a cooling rack, and we left to pick up Bryon!! Then we went to the game. We had a great time at the Bighorns game! They lost, 122-126, but we still had fun. They throw things to the spectators; like clapping things (hard to explain) and Bighorn T-shirts. They threw a T-shirt right to Bryon, so now David has a Bighorn T-shirt!! They do that at the Aces games, too. They throw shirts and baseballs. Anyway, we had a lot of fun. Then, because we were in Reno, we had to stop at WinCo to pick up some Tillamook Mudslide ice cream for David. I wish they sold that ice cream in Carson City; but, alas, they don't! So now he has enough for a few weeks, hopefully! We didn't get home until about 11pm, so David had to get ready for bed soon after we got home because we had church on Sunday morning.

Then I had to get up early Sunday morning because I had to make my dish for our potluck! I made Mexacali Spaghetti Bake. Then I got ready for church while it baked, and then put it in the crock pot to take to church. Bryon got called into work, problems he had to fix, so I was just going to go to church without him. But, he got home just in time to leave to go to church! Then we went to church, had a wonderful potluck, then came home. Then I went shopping with my girls for a couple hours. Then they went to Reno to meet up with some friends for dinner. It was a very busy day!! Actually, it was a very busy weekend!! The only problem with busy weekends, is they go by soooo fast!! *sigh*

Tomorrow is our annual Christmas Party put on by the Northern Nevada Children's Cancer Foundation. It is being hosted and catered by the El Dorado Hotel/Casino again this year. It was fun last year with great food! It used to be held at Renown; but it was just too small. I am glad the El Dorado hosts it now. So we will have a busy night tomorrow, too. The party is from 6-8pm. The kids all get a present, the teenagers usually get a gift card. David really likes that part! This will be our fourth year going. The first year we were pretty new to the cancer world, and David was in a wheelchair, unable to walk. Three years later he is doing so much better! It is just amazing to me how fast the time has flown.

David is doing quite well in school, thank you for the prayers. His German teacher is very impressed with how well he does in pronouncing the difficult words! I read the comments to David, and they are always so positive and encouraging. My son is trying so hard, and I am so proud of him. He is really applying himself, and so far getting great grades. After all he has been through...............I am just so proud. Please continue to pray for him, that he is able to keep it up. Thanks.

Thank you for checking in on David and the Koury Klan. Your support means so much to us. Please continue to keep the Koury Klan in your prayers. Thank you so much for everything. Have a good evening. God bless you all. We love you.
