Long Emotional Week

The week is over and not any too soon. My emotions were raw. Today I cried a little more than the day before. Not because I think I'm making the wrong choices about work and life, but because I'm finally making A Choice. This is my life and I need to take care of it. So, if that means more knitting and less stress...then that's what it will be.

Tomorrow we are going to the Washington State Cougar game in Seattle at Quest field to watch the team (but mostly Romeen Abdollmahamadi the kicker and a friend). We are really proud of his accomplishments as a walk on kicker and as a student. We were going to have his name put on the back of a shirt, but we couldn't find one big enough and you would need to take out a loan to buy all the letters.

Amy and Angie got to meet Bonnie and her daughters today. They hit it off (which I knew would happen). Bonnie could brighten the darkest day with her smile and sense of humor. I feel like our little circle is complete. We were all meant to be in each others lives.

Karen Hushagen, Amy and Angie are all sharing a room in Reno and apparently having a great time. Although Angie's back is still hurting, I know she is very happy that she was able to attend this event. More importantly, they were able to see what a difference Bonnie and her team of Doctors and Advisors are making in the world of Lung Cancer.

Today my dear friend Val picked me up for "lunch". Though we didn't eat anything, we did drive around (a little fast) in her Mercedes convertible and drank frozen coffee drinks. The music, friendship and laughter were exactly what I needed. We acted a little bit like Thelma and Louise....it was refreshing :)

Love you more than Stanwood loves it Spartans.

Dream Big,
Dor
