Birthday Shave




Well, what a way to spend my birthday. My dear friends Lena and Mary came over to get the job done. Lena made smoothies for us to help celebrate the occasion. (Thanks to Rachel who rode her bike to Hutch's through the rain to get some yogurt. THANKS RACH!) Mary took pictures and kept us all laughing.






My kids thought I should keep the mohawk. I may be a bit crazy at times, but not that crazy.










It's all gone. Maybe I have a future

in punk rock.












Hair clippers......... belong to the Kuaga's.

Pink hat.......a gift from the owners of Evelyn Bay.
Good friends who love you even when you're bald....PRICELESS.











And finally, a good excuse to wear my

beloved cowboy hat.


Well, there it is. The dreaded day has co
me and gone and it wasn't as bad as I had anticipated. Having Lena and Mary and my family there with me made it easier. We laughed, Brent took a bunch of pictures, and the kids kept bringing me different hats to try on. Thank you for your continued cards, meals, chocolate, prayers and support. May the Lord bless you all as you are blessing me and my family.

With Joy and Victory,


Janice

    I think I've found yet another part-time job! :) I'm available by appointment only and my calendar is filling up since people have been seeing the style I gave Janice! Wouldn't our mornings be easier if all of us wore our hair like that? You are beautiful Janice!!! :)

    Love the pictures, Janice. You look strikingly beautiful in them! Who needs hair when you can look like that without it?! God has blessed you immensely with such wonderful, loving friends and family who care so deeply for you, and who help you along each step of the way. It is awesome to see how He is providing for you.

    Praying for you every day, ~Julie

    Janice, I am in complete agreement with Vickie and Julie....I was looking at the pictures and thinking how beautiful you are! I was so excited when Chase showed up early for Sunday School. He was a big help in getting things ready for our banquet....ask him about Esther and Xerxes. I am praying for you. Linda VV

    Janice, you're amazing!!!
    I can't believe it but you pull of the bald look so well! You have to have a pretty pretty face to do that.
    You look great. I know you may not be feeling as great so just know I'm thinking about you a lot and you're still in my prayers.
    I can't wait to see you!

    I just saw your pictures and you look amazing, beautiful, and like a woman who is surviving and thriving through this cancer journey. You are in my thoughts so much. Keep up the positive attitude! You are an inspiration.
