#170 - Don't Like Shopping

Wedding Dresses
​

I really don't like clothes shopping. Changing rooms are exhausting and price tags are scary. But this past weekend was different.  I sat on a cozy couch, drinking champagne with 2 of my daughter's bridesmaids. Heidi did all the work. Oh, how I wish shopping could always be like this!

​ Less Than a Year Ago
​

I know, I said I would stop looking back all the time.  But it's hard to avoid sometimes. Especially, since I have fond memories of last fall, when Heidi and I joined my future daughter-in-law on a dress shopping adventure!  On that wonderful day, Heidi and I watched Chali do all the glamorous work. We didn't know then, that Heidi would soon be engaged and both girls would be planning weddings! 

I remember feeling so happily distracted that day. I still wasn't finished with chemo but I felt energized with the fun. When I look at this photo, I sigh... then laugh. "Hmm, I might need to toss that wig back on, if my hair doesn't show some improvement!"  Who knows what my hair will be doing in November or March. I might be the one who needs the veil!

The Focus
​

But luckily, the spotlight won't be on me.  And this past Saturday, I couldn't have been happier, having the focus on Heidi with her friends. I love my role.

What fun to listen to the girls' banter... their comments and humor. I can't stop being grateful for the timing. I'm so glad that it's July 2017... not 2016!
​
Lucky Me!

I feel healthy and energized just knowing what's ahead! These 2 beautiful "brides" (and their handsome grooms) are making it hard for me to add to my Not Happy List!
