January 2010 update

Julie is working full time. She’s able to take the stairs to her office on the third floor as she used to - during chemo she didn’t have the stamina so had to use the elevator. She’s also exercising regularly and, from an observer’s point of view, seems as energetic and active as ever. Her hair is about a quarter inch long now and she has little stubby eyelashes. For those of you who don’t see Julie regularly, take my word for it, she looks great, you’d never know she just went through surgery and chemo. Her next scan is March 5.

Other happy Kamps family news – Jillian is engaged to Matt Ott and they are planning a September wedding. Matt works for the National Recreation and Park Association, a non-profit agency in Virginia, and lives in downtown Washington DC, where Jillian will be joining him. Some family members are already planning our free-loading trips, but don’t tell Matt, we don’t want to scare him.
