D-Day Coming Soon

Can you believe it, one year ago, on September 26 we got that dreaded phone call from the doctor. I remember waiting in the parking lot to go talk to him, and I already knew. A friend from Jazzercise called. I answered without looking at who it was. She knew immediately something was wrong, so I told her. Seconds later we walked into the doctors office where we would begin the fight of our lives. Yes, I say "our" b/c cancer effects everyone and we fought together. Let me tell you, we couldn't have done it without the amazing support from our family and friends.

You all know the rest of the story, but for today I wanted to share with you information about a special class on September 26, D-day (diagnosis day) at 5:40pm. We will be holding a special team taught class, in honor of Chelsea. We will take that opportunity to thank all of our wonderful friends and supporters from Jazzercise. This is an open invitation to any other friends who would like to join us for this special hour. It promises to be nothing less than exciting, and it's great free entertainment for a Friday night. Babysitting is provided, so bring the kids, throw on your tennis shoes and come on out, ... no prior training or coordination required!

I'm putting together songs that are especially meaningful to us, to cancer, to living. Here are just some of the songs we'll be dancing to.

Travelin Thru ... Because that's exactly what we're doing here.
Suddenly I See ... Well b/c she IS a beautiful girl ... who holds me captivated ... and this is definitely where I was meant to be!
Chelsea ... Need I explain?
Everything ... She is my everything!
Let Life Flow ... Seriously, well said.
Better Together ... We're all so much better together, home, finally!
Good People ... because there are so many of you!
Dream Big ... How do you dream big?
In My Daughter's Eyes ... Chelsea is truly my miracle, giving me strength, belief, clarity. How many times have I just wanted to give up, but all it took was one look into her eyes.

I am making CD's of the full set of songs to give away as prizes that day. How fun would it be to give away a few CD's here on my blog as well?! Here's your chance. Leave me a comment, tell me where you're from and make sure to leave your email address so I can contact you if you're chosen. I will choose three winners! This should keep you busy while I'm away this weekend. Good luck!

Here's a couple of pix from a Jazzercise class held in Lawrence ... we sure know how to have fun!

So while I wish that was me holding Chelsea, it's not, but it's a cute pic of my baby girl!


During one of the routines we displayed a montage of Chels on the wall behind the stage.


For the other songs we displayed the music videos from the songs on the wall behind the stage!
