So our friends from Friday Night Gamers (group of board game - TopicsExpress



          

So our friends from Friday Night Gamers (group of board game geeks), all came together to help us with one of Scotts bucket list items: WesCon. I think a little background is in order. A while back, our friend Wes would host his gaming friends over to his place for a weekend of board games and good ole fun. Over time the group grew and Wes, with his wife Amy, would host the weekend at their ranch in Penrose and the event was dubbed WesCon. A few years ago, WesCon went on hold as Wes job took him out of state and life for everyone became hectic. Scott has many fond memories of going to WesCon. Riding motorcycles down to Penrose from Joes house. Going for coffee at Coyote Coffee. Target practice outside. Staying up until 4 in the morning playing games. Good, fond memories. When Scott first went into the hospital, Wes came to visit him. It was then that Scott asked Wes if he would do another WesCon. He was more than happy to do so. We finally found a day that would work for most in the group and that was this last weekend! We were joined by over 15 of our friends, along with our children, over 30 in all! We all came rolling in Friday night and convened this evening. I believe there were four RVs/campers in the driveway which helped to alleviate the crowd. I tell you, Scott had a blast! Nothing like being with his friends and playing some games to keep you upbeat. His new dosage of morphine has definitely helped with keeping the pain at bay. And with over a week behind him since chemo, his appetite definitely came back. He ate every meal and even had seconds and thirds on some! And last night, he stayed up until 4am this morning playing Shadows Over Camelot (a game that reminds him of our friend Joe, who passed away from brain cancer earlier this year). Scott was most definitely happy this weekend. Thank you to all our friends who came and made this a an amazing event! Thank you to Amy Schulmeister and Wesley Schulmeister for opening up your home and making this possible! Thank you Jenny, Jose, Jill, Jason, Jason, Craig, Eric, Dani, Matt, Jaime, Jamey, Levi, Audrey, Jesse, Amanda, Angela, Dave and everyone else (Sorry, if I forgot anyone - Im drawing a blank)
