| PLEASE READ ALL ABOUT HOW I ENDED MY MOTHER'S day making A LIFE LONG MEMORY & BONDING with an AMAZING WOMAN ---DEVON!!! KEEP CALM & DEV ON! |
Started out my Mother's day with a GORGEOUS run with some REALLY awesome gorgeous MOM's for out Sunday morning Cruiser 5k RUN!!! I couldn't think of a more perfect way to begin each and every SUNDAY morning--- Love these ladies and SO happy to have girlfriends & new friends who are willing to meet up, SWEAT, LAUGH, and oh YEAH let's not forget to run, "right Ladies?"
Then I came home to a Fabulous BREAKFAST SPREAD!!!! Thanks to my awesome Husband & Birdies!
Hope you had a great weekend, specifically MOTHER'S Day~~~ I also to do my favorite family activity...HIKE with my crazy GOOFBALLS @ Pole Steeple, Pine Grove Furnace State Park!
Then I went to visit my best friend since college, Devon, who is battling Cancer!!! She is the most courageous woman I know and has been so upbeat and positive during her 7 month battle. She asked me if I would like to shave my head and OF COUSE, I gladly agreed. But it was not without objections from those around me, most Specifically, from my 5 year old daugher, Fiona. At the mere mention of a haircut for her or I in the past two years she would get upset and tell me, "NO!"
I'm not being overly dramatic, I KNOW it is JUST hair...I tried to explain, reason, understand and at the very least get my daughter to accept that I wasn't going to cut her hair, I was JUST going to cut my hair and NO, it won't make me sick...it is just a way to share the experience with my best friend who is sick. It got to the point that I actually felt bad bringing it up over and over only for her to get upset and before it was time for it to actually happen. SO, I told my son and my supportive husband came along for the SHAVING experience!
I have to admit I was most nervous when she cut the braided ponytail off with medical scissors because I could hear a SAWING noise but the rest of it was actually a rather POSITIVE, freeing and Lightweight feeling! It made for the most amazing MOTHER'S day/BONDING Best Friend Experience EVER!!!
Take THAT CANCER!
Devon is determined to beat this and I KNOW SHE WILL! I signed up to do TEAM IN TRAINING in honor of Devon so if you are able to donate PLEASE do, any amount will HELP!! It's super easy, just click on this link:

I'm still not sure how to show my daughter without scaring or scarring her? She has NEVER had a haircut and I don't want her to think I am going to get sick just because I have NO hair...any POSITIVE Suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated & OPENLY received from LOVING FRIENDS& MOTHERS!
There are no guarantees, enjoy each moment, & live life fully-ALWAYS!!!
So happy to have the opportunity to hang out with Devon & her partner, Brenton! What an awesome partnership you two have~~~
Glad my husband, Justin was there to help shave out my ears and help as well!~~
