No Laura...this is the best blog post ever...

Happy anniversary Laura!
A year ago today Laura learned she had cancer. Since then, she has not only kicked that cancers ass, but she has shown us all how to tackle one of life's greatest challenges with grace, courage, humor and determination. This blog would not have been created had it not have been for Laura's blog. Think of all of the fun memories, funny pictures, reminiscing, reconnecting with old friends and laughter that would not have happened! Laura, thank you first and foremost for fighting. You are one strong sistah! Secondly, thanks for having a hand in bringing all these crazy people together in cyberspace. The memories and stories that continue to surface are sooo funny. It's awesome as we slide ever closer to that 20th that we have a place to dish out old memories from back in the day - what halarious times...even if we were idiots putting ourselves in really bad situations. Finally - Laura, thank you for being a part of our lives, from those crazy drunken highschool days to these days, it's great to have you around.

Since this blog is in Laura's honor, feel free to share any memories about her that you feel compelled to (smile). Think of it as her continued therapy as I'm certain many of us have Laura flashbacks that will make her smile - and smiling is good for your health.

Lastly - Laura, wtf is thumping in the hooptie or whatever (dare I ask)?!

Laura,

I am so excited for you. Ham read me your update while I was in the car yesterday and we were both crying. I went on your blog today and for some odd reason I can't register and there was no anonymous thing so I am glad to congratulate you through this blog. You are an incredible inspiration. I can't wait to see you. I have plenty of stories to tell about high school - the one sticking out in my mind right now -believe it or not - doesn't involve drinking but remember, daah - do you remember??? when you got in an accident on the way to graduation and had the turbin wrapped around your head when we walked down the aisle. I remember sharing many large pepperoni Round Table Pizzas and many parties!!!

Thanks for the shout-out temp, I love to reminisce. The Hooptie was Steve's car that his grandma gave him. I think it was a yellow Oldsmobile with house speakers in the back. He would play his favorite rap songs so loud that the car and whoever was in the back seat would thump.

Thanks Laura - it sounded kind of dirty...I had to ask ;)...

Actually, I think it was the blue Ford LTD that we called the Hooptie, which came after the yellow Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme.
For a grandma car, that cutlass rocked! :)
Steve's sister.
