Good News

These past 2 weeks have been horrible for me. It seems like everything that could've gone wrong, did. I didn't know if I was going to make it through and I did get behind on a few things. But I'm beginning to get out of that. And today I got some really good news. Well, not so much for me, but for my good friend. I met Alex about a month ago and when I first met him I just knew he was one of those people that's always happy and can make good out of any situation. But there was one thing about him that made me sad. Alex has cancer. I'm not exactly sure, but it's some type of skin cancer. He has a very good attitude about it and isn't afraid to talk about it and even does so jokingly with a smile on his face. A week ago he went home to California to get some tests done. We were all very nervous for him because these tests were to decide if his treatments were doing any good. If they weren't, he was to stop and eventually he would pass away. He got back to Rexburg last night and dropped by my apartment today. He told us that he is one of those lucky people (he said 1 in 200) that is going to survive! It made me so happy to hear that because he is so adorable and kind and I'm so happy for his good news. So after all the terrible things that have happened, that was definitely a high point. Today was a good day.
