i am looking forward to a lot of good things to come our way this summer.

the shore walk is next weekend, our team is 24 strong at this point and over $1000 raised so far for the team. awesome. i am looking forward to hitting the pavement with some of my favorite peeps as our team "alli's peeps" walks the 5k.

in addition, the rest of this year holds a lot of fun occassions for our family - family reunion, time with friends in wisconsin, a joint 50th birthday party, a baby shower, a 21 run, a 70th birthday party and other birthdays sprinkled here and there. many good times to come. there are so many good things to focus on that i am not spending as much time thinking about my scans coming up in july. at least for the moment. that may change as july looms closer, but for now, i am happy to not have those scans be my primary focus of what is to come.

a little relief for the weary. i will take it whenever i can get it.
