Day Eighteen with Cancer

Day Eighteen with Cancer:

Jason and I went to First Merit to open an account this morning.  It took a little while, but was painless since I was with one of my favorite people in the entire world.  Jason gave me blue bracelets from the Colon Cancer Alliance, so mom, dad and I can wear them.  Pretty soon, we were all set up with the Allison M. Lehr Benevolent Fund.  It was nice feeling like so much was done and it was still so early in the morning.  We went home and I made us some coffee while we had a mini meeting to discuss what we wanted to accomplish with our fundraiser and what was going to be necessarry to do that.  We made a pretty significant list of people we needed to contact for the raffle/auction and our ideas for the venue.  Jay had to leave pretty quickly.  Syd was staying with Sarah and he needed to get home.

After he left, I headed out toward Mentor to see what I could find out about getting a donation from Barnes and Noble.  Mary was very helpful and Hannah was just getting out, so we ended up sitting in the cafe for quite a while just chatting.  It was really nice.  It's not very often that I just get to hang out with my Christian girlfriends.  The talks are always inspiring to me. 

I stayed longer than I should have, but headed out and started driving to Jeremy's.  Once we got there, we changed really quickly and then headed out.  We were going to go to the Cheesecake Factory for dinner, but by the time we got there, parked, walked in the rain for a while, and got in...there was a HUGE line.  We then went to Brio...same story.  SO, we ended up having a very romantic drive through snack at Wendy's and heading to the theatre a little early.

We went to watch Drowsy.  Yes, it was my second time, but that had sort of been our plan all along.  This time we were dressed up (kinda matchy) and it was more like a "date".  It was so enjoyable watching Amiee, Trey, Travis and Debbie.  I love them.  We ended up going out with everyone afterward to have some REAL food.  I had a blackened chicken wrap.  It was super good.  It's been a while since something has just tasted REALLY good.  Jeremy got a HALF OF A CHICKEN.  I don't know what that boy is thinking sometimes.  We had a really nice time catching up with friends and meeting all kinds of new ones.  It really was a lovely night.

I finally dropped Jeremy off and then headed home after a long and exhausting, but very nice day.
As soon I was home and my head hit the pillow, I was out.

Four days to surgery.
