Today is my Birthday!

Welcome to the half century mark Alexis!  I have a tough time believing I am 50 today.  I remember when my Mom turned 50!  Most people seem to struggle with 50 because it is a mark of being older but for me, I celebrate 50.  I think it is because 11 years ago, I was told my life would be shorter than I had planned.  I honestly didn't think I would  make it to 45!  But I did and with some flare even!  Ever since 45,  I've marked every year with significant appreciation for each year I survive.  I think this year is appreciated since I just finished another series of cancer treatments.

I've been celebrating in style.  I went out to Melting Pot with Mom and Philip on Saturday, Dad and Cindy on Sunday.  Last night, Philip and I celebrated together with dinner at Benihana.  On Saturday, my friends are throwing a big party for me. Funny enough, my actual birthday has turned into a "me" day.  I have a very full day of work and then I get to do whatever I want.  We will see what I cook up.

Here is one of my favorite things  from this year's celebration.
