Man Your Posts Faithful Soldiers!

I just wanted to quickly update you before we hit the road!

Robynn had blood work done yesterday and her WBC is way up there, as well as her hemoglobin(RBC). They are a little higher than anyones "normal range" should be, but they don't cause us too much concern. We have to wonder if the Neulasta shot(helps keep WBC up) she got Friday just pumped her up a little too much.
The"calm seas" we prayed for seem to be here early...PRAISE the LORD! She looks FABULOUS! She looks SO good, I catch myself forgetting that anything is wrong. She ate sushi, cake and strawberries without any problem and we talked about all the things that sounded good and we'll make at the beach. How that for Progress!!! We talked, we packed, we watched as she made jewelry and talked some more. She finished the whip cream frosting and finishing touches on Cals cake and we celebrated 17 years. We wanted to watch last weeks episode of "The Office" but Tevo let us down, so we watched a mindless game show that I'm too embarrassed to name;)
I am now awaiting a very special heart charm hand stamped with "STAND"made with love by, the one...the only "OUR GIRL"! (the crowd roars!!!!)
It had to go through one more process last night but is ready now. I feel like a kid at Christmas waiting for their parents to wake up so you can open your gifts! WAKE UP already Robynn!!!!!! I can't wait to wear it just above my other necklace she made me that bears my childrens names. I will see if Brian can take a picture so you all can see it! I had told Brian I was going to order it from Missy(owner of Hayjac) and Brian said Robynn will be so upset if you don't let her make it, and boy was he RIGHT! Thanks for the heads-up bro;)

We will be headed to the beach soon!
I thank you for your service to our family!
Army Goodell could not forge ahead without each and every one of you!
I thank you for your service to Our Father who continues to listen to His servants!
Give Him Thanks and Praise for all he has given us!

Have a wonderful rest of the week!
All my love...Pray On!

Thank you for the update. I'm secretly hoping for updates over the weekend, no matter how big or small they are! I will check the blog as a normal addict can't give in so easily!

I wish you the most wonderful weekend. Enjoy the coast and your family. I'll enjoy the time "away" from you just knowing you're with people you love.

Enjoy! See you next week!

Love,

Michelle H.

Robynn,
I hope you all have a fantastic time at the beach. It sounds like you are feeling a little better, so can really enjoy yourself without all the yucky stuff.
I love seeing the new pictures on the blog. Hey are you a blonde in one of those wigs??? I love it. A beauty like you can pull off any look.
Hailey looks adorable with her new cut as well. Lauren says that she is going to growh her hair out over and over again to donate. I will log on and show her the pictures after school. She will love seeing Hailey.
Well, I better get off of the computer and clean the house.
Talk to you soon,
Tonya Sandoval & Family

Oh my gosh!! A new post! My first response was to say, “YES!” as I made a fist and shot it high in the air! (My co-worker thought I was trying to get their attention. I can’t tell you what’s going on with all the cheerleading moves and cheers I’ve been thinking about lately! :P ) Just so happy, happy, happy for the great news! Thanks Shelley, we all really needed that! Now go have fun!!! Don’t worry about us; we’ll be alright. (sniff, sniff!) jk We’ll miss you; and wish we were there with you; but know you all deserve this wonderful time so very much! It’s been a long time coming.

Oh, and why not, a quick scripture:

Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.
Psalm 51:10

Go have fun and come back renewed with a steadfast spirit to continue on. May this trip also be a “renewing” for all of us. May we all take a moment to recognize who and what are truly important in our own lives. Additionally, may we take some time to work on the things that we may have taken for granted or neglected a bit. I was talking with some of your supporters last night Robynn, and we all agreed, you have taught us to appreciate life, all who our in our lives, and to make a point to tell those that we love and appreciate, that we Love and Appreciate them!

Goodell Family, you are all loved and appreciated more than you’ll ever know. All the best for a fantastic weekend everyone!

Robynn,

It was so great to see you this weekend, I can't tell you how good it felt to hug you! I was not surprised to see that even when you are feeling under the weather, you are STILL the best looking girl in any room. I agree- you look FAB AS A BLONDE!!! I love the rotating wigs- sporting a new look every day. Long, short, brown or blonde...you make it all look good my friend. Your daughter is falling right in your footsteps- love her new do too!

Time spent in the sun and sand, complete with family and good food, sounds like just what the doctor ordered. I hope you get to squeeze in a moonlit walk in the sand with your honey, whom it was so nice to finally put a face to all the wonderful words. It was actually nice to put a face to lots of names! I think we all feel close just by association, exchanging hugs was long overdue!! Your sister, your mom, your kids, your friends- no wonder you are always so happy and smiling, I think you may be the most loved person I have ever met.

It cracks me up when I read about you being a fan of the Office, I am SO HOOKED ON THAT SHOW. Love it! I sleep in my Dunder Mifflin shirt every night :-)

By the way, you must listen to Cal's song all day long. That girl is so talented! Her music is so soulful it's hard to believe she is only 17. She must be an old soul.

It's an absolutely gorgeous day in the Bay, prepare for a beautiful drive. Make sure to hit the fruit stands along the way and treat yourself to a bouquet.

Love ya!

Mandy
