Life is Good

It’s been a really good couple of months; life is flying by, but like I said, it’s really good. I don’t think I could ask for it to be any better than it is.

I’ve been volunteering quite a bit at the Puget Sound affiliate of Susan G. Komen. I am on the Survivor committee for the Race for the Cure; we are in charge of the Survivor and Tribute tents on race day and also for the Survivor Breakfast. My biggest job is to make a robe for the “Queen for the Day”. I’m having a lot of fun doing it. I am also working in the office doing data entry and other various jobs related to the Race. I have formed my own team again this year…hopefully my teammates will actually join me one of these days. Feel free to check out my site and donate if you feel so inclined; http://www.pugetsoundraceforthecure.org/site/TR/Race/General?px=1246541&pg=personal&fr_id=1130&et=zYRSDiEph2Vgbsk60GmsEA..&s_tafId=14030

I’ve been in a couple fashion shows in the past month, both benefitting cancer charities. The first was for Gilda’s Club, which is a wonderful place for anyone affected by any type of cancer. Henry did this one with me and we had a great time. The second was for Northwest Hope and Healing, an organization that provides support for women affected by breast cancer. Mom, Jenna, Mari and Carol came to support me at this one…what a blast.

In April, Henry and I got to go to Vancouver to celebrate Stacey’s 40th Birthday. We had such a fun time, just hanging out, shopping and going to the spa with Stacey, JT & Leanne (Henry didn’t spa).

Medically, everything is just fine, I’m feeling great. I’m actually coming up on all my check-ups in the next couple of weeks. Mammogram this week, MRI next week, blood work and doctor check-ups the following week. I have also been approved for a breast reduction as part of my reconstruction from my lumpectomy. I don’t have a date set for this surgery yet.

My 40th Birthday is this week, Friday. I’m so excited, I really can’t wait. I’m going to go to the spa with girlfriends and have a BBQ with friends and family. I have never been one to really celebrate my birthday, I’ve thought of it as just another day, but things are different now and I see my birthdays as a gift.

I hope all is well with everyone and that your year is going well so far.

Much love and Peace,
