Wow. What a Week.
Started off with Savannah's Cheer Banquet.
Proud Mom Moment!
Received her varsity Letter
and
Captain's Award
Savannah and Elaine with their Varsity Letters
My sweet mom and I
What a beautiful group of young ladies representing Tampa Catholic Cheer
Thursday, my best friend Shannan came to town.
Her mother was being honored with a bronze bench/figure
A replica of her
At "A Kids Place"
For her dedication and hard work for neglected and abused kids in our community
A wonderful woman
battling cancer
So after Shannan and my Steve sat up until 3am on Friday
discussing life
the bible
etc.
and as one would figure I feel asleep in the chair the first hour
into the discussion
around 11 pm
nothing new there :)
right Shan?
Friday morning,
we attended the event honoring this awesome woman
Dottie posing with the bench/figure
Please keep Dottie in your prayers as she is battling cancer.
After the dedication, we shopped a little and caught up
with some of our favorite ladies.
The red hot chili peppers as we care to call ourselves
well, maybe 27 years ago when we all met we were
but anyway,
we met Deb and Christy for lunch
awesome time with these ladies
catching up on life and enjoying each other
as we always do
when we are together.
Shannan and Christy
We celebrated Christy's birthday too :)
This pic is out of order
and being an
inexperienced blogger
I have no idea how to move it
That's me being a book nerd at Barnes and Noble!
Deb and I at lunch with my new necklace
from sweet Paige
one of her Noonday pieces
If you haven't bought anything from her
you should.
So, after lunch, needless to say,
my sweet friend Shan was a bit tired
we decided to forgo a little shopping
and head back home for a little nap
because that's what old people do
we kidded to ourselves.
After some rest, we were on the road
again
this time to
Anthropology
always a fun trip
followed by Starbucks and Barnes and Noble
Shannan researching something about
Mary
to follow up on her discussion
with Steve
I love that these two have been friends since 2nd grade
She introduced us 23 years ago
Love that girl!
So, we called it a night
and hit it bright and early the next morning
Breakfast with Savannah and Flat Stanley
First Watch
our favorite
Followed by a trip to my favorite thrift store
Life Treasures by Hospice
Fresh Market
Ikea
and called it a day.
Shan left driving back to the other side of the state
:(
boo - our visits are never long enough
but I treasure the time we have together
after all
she's my bestest friend
ever.

Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends if you do what I command.
