hello weekend

so glad that the weekend is here. in some ways it seemed like this weekend took a really long time to get here, in other ways it seemed to come around very quickly because each day was packed. i am happy that it is here and that it looks to be filled with sunshine instead of rain. loving that.

when i wrote about the walk i should have told those of you that are interested in walking with me that i am doing the 5K walk (michelle - excited to have you on the team, hutchinsons/sheehan clan/wallace/jill/meg - thank you for your donations!). you can walk or run 5k or 10k, so if you are going to join the team, you can do whichever you like. the different distances start/end at different times but we can all meet up in the park afterwards for some fun:)

i have thought a lot about my friend jim this week. last year, i walked to support him, this year i will walk in his memory. i have also thought about him because the day of the walk last year was the last time we communicated before he passed away on august 2nd. so i could very much relate to this post and their words about the friends they have lost in the last year.

i could also relate to shannon's words in this post. like her, i too feel on an almost daily basis that something happens which makes me think that i am having a recurrence. on wednesday of this week my right side started to hurt again like it did in the fall when i had to go through all of the tests. when it started to hurt again i immediately thought it was the cancer coming on strong, that they just didn't find it last year. the pain has let up again, but not my worry about it.

i hope that you all have a great weekend, ours is going to include....
+++ a trip to the dentist for malena's check-up, hopefully we don't have to turn her upside down and make her laugh so that the dentist can see her teeth like we have had to do before;)
+++ malena riding her bike
+++ making easter decorations for our family
+++ birthday party for our friend cody as he celebrates the big #2
+++ ordering fairy pictures that we had taken of malena, wait until you see them - so cute!
+++ a massage - so excited!
+++ hitting golf balls
+++making cards
+++going to our favorite coffee shop (or coffee store) as malena calls it for gluten free banana bread and apple juice
+++ checking out my new "mingle" magazine (jill, it will head your way when i am done)

have a great weekend all! xo
