crazy eights

How ironic is it that on 8/8/8 Keri has her 8th round [and FINAL round!] of chemo? Wish her luck, it's been a long 'first leg' of her journey. I know she is very excited to have a few weeks off before her surgery to feel normal again.

We are making the trek to mid-MO tonight and won't return until next Wednesday. I am so excited I can barely breathe. This is going to be a much needed break from everyday life and I can't wait to see my parents. I will return rejuvenated [I hope!] and bearing lots of pictures. Knock on wood.....but the weather forecast isn't too horrible for this weekend: barely in the 90s? I can totally handle that!

Also, we may or may not have purchased new running shoes last night and we found a fabulous deal. You know how I feel about new running paraphernalia and discounts, don't you? Pictures to follow:)

She asked what her favorite three blogs were and I listed yours because so many of her readers are brides and you always have great wedding stuff to talk about so I thought they might find your blog helpful!
