Party #1 - Friday Night

Thank you to everyone who came out on Friday night to celebrate before my surgery and chemo start.  All of you I have known for over ten years the rest I have known for 20 years plus!  I love you all so much and I am so blessed to have you in my life!  After this year I think Nicki's idea of a vacation is a fantastic idea!  MEXICO HERE WE COME!!!!

All of these ladies were my roomie at one point and time....well
minus Gretchen.  Gretchen and her husband are expecting a baby

I met Laura, Sasha, Jody and Nicki in college. 
Sasha and I were roomies in college and I am proud to say
I introduced to her to her husband Matt many moons ago. ;)
Sasha and I have been good friends ever since.
Nicki, Laura and I went on a spring break or two together
and hung out a lot in college. GOOD TIMES! 
We still get together from time to time.
I got to know Jody through all of these ladies as they went to high school
together.  Jody just had a baby girl (Finley) 12 weeks ago.  CONGRATULATIONS!

Steve & I traveled to Chicago to visit a dear friend of mine Emily Gardels.  I started the tradition of visiting Emily years ago and I dragged Crystal along with me last year and she had so much fun she joined me again.  We met up with old highschool and college friends and my cousin Leah happen to book her trip the same weekend.  So Leah and her husband Chad joined in on the festivities.  Drinking, Shopping, and got tickets to see the CUBS in a Skybox at Sheffeld!  Needless to say we had a great time.
