The second week of February, two of my best friends and roommates from college, Dawna Daugherty and Tonja Whitford, came to stay with me while Brian was in Florida for the weekend. Dawna lives in South Carolina and Tonja lives in California. We had a great time catching up, reminiscing, and having lots of girl time.
Dawna and Tonja really took care of me during their visit. Dawna came up with several awesome freezer meal recipes and they cooked all weekend. By the end of their stay, they had cooked over 30 freezer meals to use over the next few months. Tonja watched the kids while I went to have a CT scan and run some errands. Dawna completely organized my kitchen cabinets. Both Tonja and Dawna helped with the kids and housework.
The highlight was our Girls Night Out. One of my closest friends in Keller, Sarah Reed, came along. We went and had our eyebrows waxed first. (I had scheduled to get my hair shaved w my hair stylist, Ha, but chickened out. We didn't want to stiff her on business, so we decided to get our eyebrows done.) Then we went to dinner at Cristina's Mexican, one of my favs. We finished the night off with a trip to Barnes and Noble and Cheesecake Factory. Thanks to my good friend, Joanna, I didn't have to find a sitter...we had a blast!
I was so sad to see Tonja and Dawna go...but can't wait for a fun girls outing next year. I am so blessed to have such good friends. Thanks, Tonja and Dawna!!!

I'm so glad you have such good friends to help out and be a support for you. Glad you had a good time with your bff's.
I am so glad to see that you are blogging! It will be great to know how you all are doing and keep in touch better (I am horrible at keeping in touch, but I guess you already know that!)! You are in our prayers and we love you. I wish I could come and be there to help...Just know we are thinking about you guys. :)
If you are still trying to convince yourself to go ahead and shave your head but are having a hard time- there is a cool event coming up at the end of march called St. Baldricks. It is a great organization that raises money for ped cancer research through people shaving their heads and getting donations. My husband did it last year- Natalie got to shave his head and it was great.
Obviously it is a hard thing, when Natalie went bald I didn't shave her head and just let it fall out. It wasn't too long yet so the falling out process wasn't as bad as it would've been otherwise. It probably looked terrible, but that was just the way I wanted to do it and I don't think I knew why then or now. You just have to go with what feels right for you.
Good luck--I know you will look just as beautiful without hair!
