Ok so I haven’t written in a while but I have been having a little bit of a rough week, so that is what happens. I am feeling better now, and starting to get ready to head back to Houston on March 1st. I would like to congratulate my friend Gretchen, she is now expecting!!! Seems like the baby club is growing more and more each day!! Other than that, things have been relatively quiet. We got to visit with Andrew and Abbi over the weekend and that was a lot of fun! Also my hair is coming back, although very slowly… it is growing in the very front and a lot in the very back of my head. How strange huh? Also it is BLACK!!! I also heard it may come back curly!! That would be soooooo weird, considering I had stick straight blonde hair before! And while we are on the subject of hair…… the photo of me with the braids is an old photo, that is not me wearing a hat with braids attached!! J An honest mistake, and a HUGE compliment paid to me by miss Edie! Ok I am going to post another poem my good friend and apparently my poet laureate wrote. Just for the record, I am not some egomaniac or something; I just like posting her poetry! If she sent me other things (hint hint) I would post them too!! I hope everyone is doing well, and to all my pregnant or soon to be pregnant friends, take care of those bodies!!!!!xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxxoxoxoxox
No one would ever call you shy.
Framing pale moon-face
(perfect) I love that you chose
a girl-pink baseball cap and movie star glasses
with glittering stars pasted to their edges
to cover your head
ears sticking out and a glimpse of eyes peeking
like the child you still are
thrilled with your San Diego zoo cup
from the concession stand.
A wig would have been less
obvious
but you chose to flaunt
that you own your life
chose to flaunt determination
and to hell with everyone else.
In these last months
I love that you chose
innocence over anger
in these months
I love this portrait of you
more beautiful than you ever were.

I know you haven't been naming who wrote the peoms(even though I am 100%sure I know who it is)... but you HAVE to tell her that I think she is wonderful for writing them!! I am serious. She is a great friend to you, and she makes me cry every time I read those poems. She has been by your side since you have known her. You are lucky to have so many people who love you so much! It is amazing that it can take something so bad in your life to show you who your true friends are. I can't even compare my two months of hardship to yours, but I can say that there has been one friend that I always stood by in her hard times. Since I have been through a couple of hardships lately, she is nowhere to be seen. Everyone else I know has been more than wonderful to me. Including you! I love you Gracie!!!!! :)
Oooo... from blonde to a sultry, mysterious black! I like it!! I think it just may come in curly too... My mom always had my color, dirty dishwater blonde. After her first bout with chemo, her hair came in black and curly!! It's Hair Club by chemo, I tell ya! Great poetry, by the way! Hang in there, and if you need anything, give me a holler!
Black hair huh! I am anxious to see it! Sorry I haven't been able to make it over to Lafayette yet. I have been subbing like crazy, and coaching is finally over today, so that will free up my time on the weekends! I love you girl, and we can get together as soon as you get back!
However, my random photos are gonna be so crazy and out of this world, they are going to blow yours out of the water. Sorry to have to break it to you.
