Bought & Sold

Our house has sold - YIPEE! The last few weeks have been pretty intense around here as we have been looking and looking and looking for a new place to buy and WOW there's just isn't much out there.
But... we went back for a second look on a place that we'd seen before and thought - *if we can get this for the right place, we could take on another renovation project and it would be great!
So.. we did.
We will be moving partially May long weekend and then fully on the 23rd. FAST and FURIOUS which is great by me.. the waiting part is agonizing and so, we just have to pack our "hynnies" off and we'll be golden!

EVERYBODY HATES CANCER

These are the words of my oldest daughter Oaksana. One of my mom's closest friends just got the bad news. While they were waiting for her husband to get treatment advice for his prostate cancer diagnosis.. she realized that she had a lump in her breast. She's already had the masectomy done and has started her 15 month chemo treatment plan. Oaksana's teachers son (who is only in his early 20's) is battling this terrible disease as well.

So Oaksana decided to cut her hair in order to support them all. As long as I can remember, Oaksana has been VERY serious about having long hair. She won't even have a conversation if the words hair and scissors are in the same sentence. So I was amazed when she said that she wanted to do this.

I am really proud of her for making a personal sacrifice like that.. makes my heart just melt.

So.. here's her before shot...

And here's her after shot:
