Our address at Mayo

Hi all!

Here's our address at Mayo:

The Inn at Mayo Clinic
4420 Mary Brigh Dr.
Jacksonville, FL 32224

Just put our name on it and we will receive it. Joe's proding and poking doctor appointments are done - YEA! Now we just have appointments with doctors/nurses telling us what to expect before, during and after transplant which we already went through at UCLA so we know what to expect. When Joe's doctor asked how long he had been on the list at UCLA and Joe replied over a year the doctor kind of laughed and said, "Oh, thats an eternity here! We don't really ever have that." Our hopes for Joe to be headed home in 90 days are alive! Janelle is busy creating crafts and sending postcards to family & friends and trying not to miss her puppy too much. We got a picture today from Camp Brunner(as Joe's cousin Julie named it) where Sam is staying with her cousin Bailey (also a yellow lab). Bailey is teaching her all about playing in water and what it's like to live on an acre - we may be in trouble when we get home. We fell in love with a little beach town called Neptune Beach which is only about 10 minutes away so we've been exploring the shops and restaurants and gathering shells along the beach. Not Carlsbad but a pretty close second! As always your love, support & prayers keep us going and a special shout out to Nicholas St. for taking such great care of our boy! We will be with you in spirit tomorrow at Kelsi's sweet 16 party - I can almost taste Terry's margarita now!
Love you all,
Julie

Hopefully you have the weekend off to enjoy.
Looks like we will be visiting Camp Brunner very soon ourselves for some grooming. I tried to cut Ian's hair today and let's just say I probably won't do that again. If only we didn't have to take our family photo for the church directory today. Oops! Oh well. Give it a couple of weeks and we should be fine.
Sounds like all is going well there. We love you and continue our prayers.
Love, G

Missing you - looking forward to Molly-time!
