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.

3rd Annual SUPPORT THE GIRLs Fundraiser

I received an email a while back from Lisa V, one of the Breast Friends Support Group founders asking for volunteers for their annual fundraiser. I haven't gone to the group much and am not planning on going to the conference that the fundraiser is helping pay for so wasn't sure if I wanted to go. But I'm always looking for some kind of Adventure to blog about. LOL
I ended up signing up to help at the admission table for a couple hours. Then I called KBro and begged (OK... Maybe I didn't quite make it to the begging stage) her to come with me. It's been a long time since we have had a Cancer Date together so she agreed. Yeah!
It was a windy, freezing' night but after stopping by the bar (oops! Wrong place) and making our own parking space close to the Speedway Event Center door, we braved the temp to make it inside. It was fun to see people I recognized. First, KBro and I checked out the place- all the silent auction tables, the Boobie Shop, the raffle drawing table and the food. Then, we got a quick training on our duties for the evening. It was our job to sit at the table by the front door, visit, smile, welcome people and collect money. We were awesome at it!
While we were there, I bid on a couple of things, bought a raffle ticket, and got a few fun things at the Boobie Shop. I love themed things!! How cute are these things?
We also got to eat a bite of dinner and listen to the Front Fenders band! And we were even out of there before everyone got sloshed. (There was a bar in the corner) When we finished up our shift, we went out to Applebee's afterwards. I always love hanging out and chatted with my best Fargo girlfriend. With her youngest (but not for long LOL) in school we haven't hung out as much as we have in the past. I didn't realize how much I've missed her. Thanks lady for joining me in my cancer adventure this evening. You're awesome!!
Oh.... The next day, I got a call to say I had won one of the Silent Auction baskets.  Lucky day! Someone dropped it off to me. It's full of BC-themed items! So fun!
