Smile #1 has been on my face since April 29th! Remember the "Sweets Festival" I told you about? Well, are you ready for this?!?!?!?!
We raised $2,500 for Relay For Life!
Amazing is the word that comes to mind to describe that night. The love and generosity that was in that room not only brought a smile, it still brings tears to my eyes as I type this! Thank you to everyone who came out to support a cause that is now very near and dear to my heart!

Smile #2 came Friday when my latest mammogram and ultrasound measured the lump in my right girl at HALF the size it was in February! Praise the Lord!
Smile #3 was this past Saturday night at the "Festival of Tables" hosted by the ladies at Mt. Pleasant UMC. Any night I get to spend with all the Shoffner girls in one place, brings a smile to my face! They had it all: beautifully decorated tables, delicious food, great entertainment, and Rene Neff, a breast cancer survivor who was there to share her journey with us. She's an amazing woman of God with an inspiring story to tell. So thankful our paths crossed! Thank you Lori Lynn, for treating me to a wonderful evening!
Smile #4 came Sunday night as I celebrated my 31st birthday! It wasn't my actual birthday, but since my Mom was making all MY favorites, we waited because I wanted to feel my best and be ready to eat my banana pudding birthday request!
I guess all the American Cancer Society packets that arrive at my house reading "The Official Sponsor of Birthdays" are getting to me a little because there was something a little sweeter about this birthday!
Smile #5 arrived at my house Monday, on her birthday, and all the way from Virginia--my buddy Mo! Time to talk, eat, and shop (without our little people, even though we love them so) was such a treat and just to have my dear friend near me was good for my soul!
And I'm smiling because you feel well enough to write up 2 posts in less than 24 hrs after your infusions. That speaks volumes. Thank you for letting be there and be a part of this process... I enjoy hanging out with you, each and every minute, even in hospitals!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous friendship you two have! I smiled while reading this entire post! Love you Suzanne!
