I let Brittany post this one of us on her blog, but I've been really hesitant to post, let alone take any recent pics of me. I'm still freaking out a little about the no hair concept. But it's time to let go. So let me tell you this story....as I am pulling in the driveway from work (yes I've been working part time) I see my mom, my nephew Miles, his mom Amy who is holding this little girl who I was pretty sure lives in Chicago. I sat in my car just staring so confused and asked some really intelligent question about how in the world little Sophie got there. Then Brittany walks out. I was so surprised I couldn't really say much for a bit. I was so excited I was in shock. The 5 of us girls, Brittany, Me, Stacey, Amy and Alisa have pretty much grown up as sisters. Brittany and I have always been close, we're only 9 months apart. It's been hard on both of us to be apart for this. My whole family knew she was coming and didn't say a word, that's next to impossible. Secrets aren't kept that well. We had so much fun, and while I didn't take any pictures (still in shock) I know others did. We had a blast. We went to dinner one night just us and I can't tell you how much needed that was. Then we did lots of other fun things. I have a wonderful, extrememly supportive family. Which I need especially as I settle into the day to day life with cancer. Thanks Mom for putting this all together!! I love you all!!
