March 1

Hello. It's been a busy week. I'll try to get a quick update in. Mark is starting to feel better and has been quite the trooper this week with so much going on. He has been helping coach Calen's baseball which takes a lot out of him. The cold bothers him and his hands sting when he throws and catches the ball. His right shoulder is also hurting him, but he hangs in there. Calen's team played last night and a game this morning and have another game in a bit. They won the first game today, but lost last night. Colton also had a basketball game this morning right after Calen's baseball game. We took Colton out for lunch and then had a birthday party here at home for him with presents and a cookie cake.

Mark got the exciting news that he got tenue. Congratulations Mark!!!! We're so excited and proud of him. He has continued to work on papers and finished another one this week while on chemo, so he is certainly dedicated.

Continue to pray for Mark's healing. God bless!!!!

What great news about tenure, Mark. Now you can quit holding back and say what you really think :).

Teasing aside, many of us continue to pray for you and your family. God bless you. Kim

Wow! You really pulled one over on the higher-ups, huh? I guess that means we're stuck with you around here for a while...thank goodness! Way to go, dude! Missed you at Mass, but please know you are in our prayers every night.

Rich, Kirsten, and Dirk Perkins

Congratulations on tenure! I haven't been on here in a while, so I had some catching up to do. I am amazed at your strength and strong will and with Rhonda's love and support for you. I continue to pray for you and your family.
