Weekend Wrap-Up

So I know the weekend isn't quite over yet, but I figured I'd do a mid-week & weekend wrap up post in one!

Thanks for the recommendations on travel plans, too! I'm definitely going to be doing some stalking of cheap flights!

Earlier this week I went to Best Buy to lick play with the iPad.

Guys- have you gotten the chance to play with it yet? I am still desperately trying to think of an actual need for this device. It's SO cool. I've talked myself out of it though and I'm saving up for a new iPhone coming out hopefully this June!

I also got my hair done this week. Have ya'll heard of a shampoo called Shimmer Lights?

It's for blondes. Ashlyn suggested I try it since I've been feeling like my hair is getting brassy. It's the coolest stuff. It's purple. Like straight up, "Should I be putting this dark deep purple in my hair?" purple.

Anyway, I think it's working. I only do it twice a week, but I think I'm gonna love it.

Friday, I met up with some of my bible study girls from Columbia! They are in town for my college church's spring retreat! It was awesome getting to see them.

Friday night was Relay for Life at Coastal Carolina. I had never done a Relay before but I am super glad I went. There were a ton of people there! They raised over $60,000 for the American Cancer Society! Here's a few pics from the evening:





Here's to hoping the rest of my weekend is just as awesome!

Ick.

I feel like I haven't posted on this blog in forever.

Yes the amazing deals are still going on at Gap, in case you were wondering :o)

I totally had some fun blog posts in mind... Foundation Funk being one of them that I eventually plan to write when I have more than 10 minutes.

My Mom's been in the hospital since Tuesday.

She had an appt. with her regular physician and she thought my Mom had a stroke... hence hospital admittance.

Turns out they think it's Bells Palsy.

Well when they did a bunch of scans (MRI, CT, Bone scan...etc.) they found that her cancer has come back. Lesions on her skull and spots on her liver.

Fan-freakin'-tastic.

So that's been my life the last three days... back and forth to the hospital, on the phone trying to update people, and some amazing friends and family holding my dad and I together.

Weekend's finally here!

So I am off to Savannah for the weekend! I am super excited! I'm going to have a very informative blog when I come home to fill everyone in on the awesomeness!

Praise Report- Mom went to have her 6 month mammogram yesterday and she stayed to wait for the radiologist to read it. NO CANCER!!!!!! woo!! I knew all along, but mom tends to over excite/worry herself A LOT. It's been a little over a year now since she was first diagnosed, and gone through treatments - you can check out this blog to read more - but I'm so proud of her! She is doing physical therapy now to help gain more strength and movement back in her arm and chest area. I ask for your continued prayer for her health.

Ok bye everyone! Have a wonderful weekend!
