CUTE AS A BUTTON











Hi ALL, I've been teaching aerobics classes since 1999, and was teaching at Misericordia University, in Dallas, PA since around 2004 (also at Shapes, Dallas and Greenbriar Nursing Home). I've met some wonderful people along the way and have a very special group of people that are dear friends at Misericordia that I wanted to tell you about. They are always there for me for love and support and also a very dedicated group of exercisers, I might add! They just got together to make a button shirt for me.....(and a button card, too). The bottons are "hugs and kisses", prayerfully placed with love by my exercise friends. (I just want to know if they missed their warmups since they were all sewing at class......??)
Now, I wore my button shirt on this past Wed. when a fellow instructor, Holly Daubert, drove me to my chemo appointment. I just had to show everybody my new shirt as well as a picture of my friends at a recent dinner we had! I'm happy to report that I was well enough on Friday to go to their class and actually exercise! It was so fun being with them.............Love you guys! Laura xxoo

PS: The fourth pic is of my chemo friend, Judy, that still has her "stinkin" hair after 3 months/treatments!! I lost my hair in 2 weeks. Judy knows i love her - i hope she can hang on to it as long as she can! I'll take a new pic of her in Sept., ........SO STAY TUNED!

  6. I saw the word "stay" in the magazine rack of the first picture and thought it would be really cool if the word "tuned" was in there somewhere as well, but if it is, I can't find it! You've got such sweet friends--must be because you're so sweet! :D *squeeze*
