As of April 2, 2012, this blog became the place for documenting our New Adventure called Breast Cancer. Basically it's all about our Cancer ParTay.
As of Oct 2013- our 18 month Survivor mark- the ParTay's pretty much over. Treatments are done, my hair is back and I am healthy & cancer-free!
As of today- I want you to know that the trick to living a happy, healthy and wonderful life in the future is to remember where we've been, what we've learned and how much we've been blessed! That's exactly what I hope you find here.

Hope Soars Cancer Dinner

At my LiveStrong class, they mentioned this Picnic that was being put on for Cancer Survivors and their families tonight out at Trollwood in Moorhead. Brett is out of town but Robbie offered that her family would go with me if I wanted to go. So.. we braved it. I'm so glad we went! It was a lot of fun. 
We met the Stephens there in time to see them blowing up the Hot Air Balloons. The kids were so excited! Unfortunately, the famous Fargo wind picked up and this is as high as they ever got them before they took them down. At least we got to see them. When we checked in, they had a drawing for a chance to win a ride on them at a later date. How cool would that be?
Inside, they had a few information booths from the embrace program @ Sanford Health. Everyone got a Livestrong bracelet and got to tie a ribbon on the hot air balloon (out of fabric) that will hang in the Sanford Hospital. They also had a guest speaker that is comical and sings beautifully. The kids were running like crazy out in the open field having a blast so we only heard the parts that she sang. But what a great way to celebrate survivorship then through humor and music!
For dinner, they had pulled perk sandwiches, beans, cookies and drinks. It was really good! Then we met up with some of my LiveStrong friends. Robbie, Liberty and I chatted with Denise and Kiona before they left. Liberty loves Denise! She thinks she is so funny! When the Stephens had to take off, the kids and I went to look for Katelyn (my awesome instructor) and Jennifer and her family. We took the chance to get a group shot. Glory hopped right into Katelyn's arms for the picture. How cute!
The kids absolute favorite part of the night was the Golf Cart ride back to the van! LOL They had them available at the door of the building and the guy offered. The temperature had dropped significantly and we had parked out pretty far so it actually worked out well. The kids giggled the whole time! One problem now though-- they all think we should buy a golf cart! LOL Silly kids! Thanks a lot Embrace and Sanford!
