My Birthday Week

As I mentioned in my last post, I just had a birthday.  Not only did I get amazing news, but Craig flew Bryan home to surprise me right before the big day. He is the Best Husband EVER!!!) I knew there was a surprise but wasn't really sure what it was. I knew it would be coming soon because Craig told me he was going to Home Depot (we even made a list) but then went to take a shower! As my friend Sue says, "Who takes a shower to go to Home Depot! I was just telling her on the phone that I was hoping the surprise would be Bryan when the door opened and in he walked!! Of course, I started to cry tears of joy! My boy was home! We had a great time together-Breakers Brunch and Beach, shopping, movies. . .

The Ladies

Next up, my birthday buddy Donna came to Florida to celebrate our 51st birthdays together.  It's kind of an annual thing. It meant a lot that she was here for the scan and the great news that the growths were disappearing!! Time to celebrate with lunch, shopping and  Ladies Night Out at PGA National. What a fun night made even more special because a portion of the proceeds were going to "Be A Star"- a charity for children with cancer. It was my pleasure to meet Daisy, an almost 12 year old that was diagnosed with Leukemia when she was 4 and is now in remission. She is an inspiration as well as a true hero!.

I finally made it to the famous wig shop that everyone told me to go to. Carol, a fellow Scorpio, found the perfect wig for me. I look like me again! What a treat! All of the little kids that live on my street love it because "You like like you again, Mrs. Martin." Even little Josh, who lives next door, said, "Nice wig, Mrs. Martin!" They crack me up. I have to say, though, I really don't mind being bald. It's just so easy. . . and sometimes breezy! :)

In closing, I want to thank everyone for the birthday wishes. Between Facebook and postal service, I received more birthday wishes than I could have ever imagined! I am so thankful to all of you for being there for me. I feel so loved!
