Milestones

1 year ago today my beautiful niece was born. She has been such a blessing in all of our lives.  I'm so lucky to be her aunt.
5 years ago today I found out I had thyroid cancer. 

Some of the things I've learned since then:
*  I'm stronger than I thought I was.
*  You can't count on everyone you might have thought you could.
*  Some people will surprise you with how they will come through for you.
*  "It's cancer"....These two words can change your life.
*  It's a really good idea to make every effort to mend all of your bridges. This will give you more peace than you imagined.
*  Just because the cancer doesn't kill you doesn't mean you can ignore your health....other things might try to take you out instead if you do.

Mother's Day Brunch

I hope all you moms had a lovely Mother's Day! We had a very nice brunch at our house. My wonderful husband cooked up some goodies for us and we enjoyed hanging out. I also got to see my beautiful niece do her new trick---sitting up!

My daughter made me some cute things from school. Those are the gifts I treasure most. I also got a beautiful pair of garnet earrings from hubby and the kids.

Magnificent Milestones

Today my "baby boy" is 15!





Today was also my last day of finals, papers, everything. Now all I have to do is graduate.
