What's Happening!!

Well where do I begin. I have been busy, doing what I don't know. Each day I feel like I'm doing the same old thing and that drives me crazy! Get up, go to the office, come home, do laundry and cook dinner, watch TV, go to bed and then start all over again the next day. Boring and not the way I want to live life.

This experience has taught me some lessons. Live life as through its your last day. Enjoy each and every moment. I try to enjoy moments each day but how do you enjoy laundry, cooking dinner and cleaning. Well I guess that's life. I try to enjoy my moments on the weekend especially when I get to go to the trailer. This last weekend we went up on Saturday morning early. It was absolutely beautiful there. The weather was about 75 degrees. We went to a birthday party that afternoon for Jerry who turned 50. The best part was Jerry is a musician and he brought together his old band from 30 years old to play together. It was a great moment to watch these 50 year old men play to their hearts content. As I listened I watched their faces and how happy that moment was for them. I have to say it brought tears to my eyes to know that they were enjoying that moment together playing and singing for us. Thanks Jerry for that special moment!!

This weekend I get to watch Little Markie on Saturday night. I only get to see him about once a week. So Saturday will be a moment I will enjoy. Erin is doing great and so is Little Markie. He goes to the doctor for the first time tomorrow and we will see how much he weighs. Mark is guessing about 8 to 8 1/2 pounds. He is sooooo cute but then again I'm his Nana and what else would I say. I look forward to many more days spending time with him making moments to remember.

Update on the headstone. It's getting closer. I received a call yesterday from Beverly at Bras and Mattos Monuments and she said the engraving is being done now. The installation will be within the next few weeks. I'm hoping before Mother's Day. After installation we will hold a small memorial at the grave site with my family and Evelyn's. It will definitely be a moment that takes my breath away! I have dreamed of this day for so long and I can't believe its finally here. I thank all my family and friends for making this moment come true.

I am so excited. I was asked by my onogolist, Dr. Akthar, to participate in a fundraiser for the American Heart Association Red Dress Campaign. It will be held on May 7th. I will get to have my makeup done and a new red dress from Banana Republic. I will be speaking about my story and that makes me feel so good. I have wanted to share my story with the public and have sent many emails to my local newspaper and even Oparh. No one has responded back, so maybe this is a way to get the word out. It's a great cause and I'm happy to help.

Well I need to run. Off to the gym and then to lunch with a client in San Francisco. I'm glad I get to see my clients from time to time.

Have a wonderful weekend and make memories that take your breath away. Sorry I don't have photos of me and Little Markie but I don't have my camera right now. Maybe I can get some this weekend to share.

Love,
Debbie
