We've had a couple of fun days!  A couple of months ago, our neighbors gave us a gift certificate to Robintino's and told us that when we were ready, they would watch the kids so we could go out.  We went last night and had a nice, relaxing time!  This is a good week to go because food tastes relatively normal right now.  After we ate, we went to Paradise Bakery to get a cookie, like we always do.  It doesn't matter where we eat, we always have dessert at Paradise!  Then we went to the gym.  : )   They took the kids out for bowling and pizza.  The kids were high as kites when they got home, they had so much fun.  Thanks Kevin and Linda for providing an awesome evening for all of us!

This morning I went to a stair climb.  I've been working with a trainer at the Rec Center for several years, she just helps me know what to do on the weights and really inspires me!  I heard about this fundraiser for the Lung Association just before I was diagnosed (climbing 23 flights of stairs with a bunch of other runners), but I decided it was too much, under the circumstances.  She found out that I wanted to do it, so she did it in my honor.  It was a really fun, really inspiring morning!  This year, they incorporated a costume contest as part of the race.  She decided she needed to win that, so here's what she came up with:

SHE-HULK!

She said it took her husband and kids 2 hours to paint her green!  Not only did she win the costume contest, she was the fastest female overall, running the 23 flights in 4 minutes 36 seconds!  She's an inspiration to me!  THANKS Rachel!
