Cait started preschool today. She was beyond excited and had no qualms about staying. Mommy shed a few tears. I am happy that she is excited and I know she will have fun.

My own personal club.....

"The breast cancer survivors club"

(Karen, Margit, me, Joanne)

this weekend has been amazing. We had a family reunion on my Dad's side. This had been planned many months ago. I felt so lucky to be able to spend the weekend before my surgery with my Aunts who have had breast cancer. Wonderful support and lots of love. Really great timing too. So good to spend time with family that we don't often get to see. Our kids got to meet/re-meet a lot of my Aunts and Uncles, cousins and more. We loved every minute and are very tired! Thanks Mom and Dad for doing this! Thanks everyone for coming. People traveled from NY, CT, OH,AZ, SC, MN...I think that covers all the states!

Color me red! How could I forget Canada? My brother and his wife came all the way from Canada!

Today we met Portia after school for some fun at the park. It was a little cold but not too bad and the sun was bright. Tomorrow Cait and I will visit 2 preschools. I am thinking with the radiation treatments coming Cait will be happy to be in school a few mornings a week. If I find the right school she will have fun and want to be there. Wish us luck!`

I love this man. He has been amazing through this. Letting me cry, get mad, irrational, and laugh. He makes me feel so loved and even protected....something I never thought I would want! Thank you Billy. I chose the right man and feel so fortunate.

We have a date...

Bill and I met with my surgeon yesterday. I will have the surgery Feb 10. I am ready to get this thing out and move on. Really like my surgeon and am feeling Ok with it. It is hard for me to accept that I have cancer. Can't quite wrap my head around it. I guess it takes time.

Why not?

Breakfast of champions!
