On Mother's Day weekend I went home to Minneapolis. Its become a tradition since I've moved to Texas. It's important time with my family, and a chance to support my aunt Noreen (a six year survivor) in her battle against breast cancer, at the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer walk.
Although my trip home was short, it was still just as meaningful. Its great to see all the kids because they are growing so incredibly fast. It was fun to introduce Meadow to all the Minnesota Viking Cheerleaders along the walk (she got pictures with 17 of them).
My youngest cousin Kelly graduated as a respiratory therapist. I am so proud of her, she finished school while being a mom, and working. My cousin Nate even asked me to be a reader in his wedding. Life just keeps moving on.
Sally stayed with us for the weekend, so I got some one-on-one time with one of my best friends. And although I didn't get a chance to see many people, I was able to have breakfast with my old roommate Laura, and cross paths with Dan at the airport when Sally picked me up.
