Off to Florida!

Happy Valentine's Day! I feel like all of you are my Valentines!

Warning, this post isn't funny like some of the others, I didn't mention farts-oh but I will now. My friend Heather came over today. I warned her that it was a gassy day. When it came I ran to the bathroom to spare her. Unfortunately for her, some followed me out. Heather then said, "No wonder Kurt is sleeping in the basement again!" and then buried her face in a pillow. I hope things get better inside me, I don't want to stink out Liz and the kids!" Sorry, I really thought I was going to have a fart-free post.

So, I am just about packed for our trip to Sarasota. Only Kaeli and I are going. Kurt started a new job in November. He basically took off three weeks when I was first diagnosed, so he didn't want to push it. (Although everyone at the company has been amazing! The owner even called to see how I was doing, to make sure the insurance was taking care of everything and he offered to help with anything he could. ) We are sad that Daddy won't be with us, but that just gives us a good reason to go again.

I bought a cute basket the other day when I went out with my friend Kristin. It has a liner that says Friends. I am using it to hold all the cards and letters that everyone has been sending me. I like going back and reading them, so I will be hanging the basket next to my bed. I plan on keeping up my nightly ritual of reading everyone's kind words before I drift of to sleep. Oh yeah, I now realize how out of it I was right after the surgery. I found a bag of cards that Kurt brought to me at the hospital. I had opened them all, but I didn't remember any of them. So it was a special treat to read them all today!

Kurt gave me a last minute Valentine's Day gift, he took Kaeli to dance class! Yeah!!! That left me alone at home to clean, organize and pack. It felt good to get things done. Of course now I am exhausted. So, I am going to bed. I have a long day of travel ahead, but don't worry. I'll be sitting all day. Sitting in the car on the way to Boston, sitting at the airport, then on the plane, then in Liz's car, and finally in a chair by her pool! I promise to take it easy and take care of myself this week! I will be checking my e-mail, Facebook and I will try to post some highlights from my trip. Kaeli and Logan will be hanging out, so I bet I'll have some good, funny material to share!

I hope you all had a good Valentine's Day. Tell someone you love that you love them, tell that to someone everyday! Life is too short not to spread the love! Thank you to you all for sharing your love with me!
Love, Theresa
