Cancer- You Are NOT A Worthy Opponent!

At least not for my Lauren!!  

Some of you might remember a while ago that I posted about my friend Lauren who had cancer.  I dedicated a post to her and how to make "cooked" sushi HERE.  I am now happy to update you all and give you the good news that 95% of Lauren's cancer is GONE!!  There have been many wonderful people pulling for and praying for her recovery and it seems to have paid off...I just knew she could do it!

Thinking of Lauren reminded me that the first real vacation Will and I took was to see Lauren and family in New york!  They live in Staten Island, so we got to use the ferry.  A lot, actually.  While we were there, we saw the Rockettes, shopped, toured the city, ate yummy pizza (of course) and enjoyed catching up!


Rockefeller Center the day BEFORE the tree lighting...Lauren had talked me into coming to NY to see the tree lighting and failed to mention that you can't get anywhere near it during the lighting...She's so sneaky!  Too bad all she had to do was ask and of course we would come <3


How gorgeous is she?  She has been the life of the party her whole life, and she truly completed our trip. I can't imagine every going to New York without her, so I won't.




She has to be okay...we need her, and more importantly, this little nugget needs her.



2011 is gonna go down in history for us...Now I know that it's going to be a good year ;)

  4. I wish your friend the best of luck with her fight with cancer, because unfortunately, it's always a fight until every cancer cell is gone. It looks like she has the best support system that can be asked for, which helps so much.
