Labor Day weekend is here! Often viewed as the 'last hoorah' of summer, Labor Day weekend is for all the things: grilling, swimming, vacationing, sleeping in, working on projects, shopping, and hanging out with friends and family. If you're blessed to have time off this weekend, I pray you are able to enjoy it!

Our family is hosting a blow-out gathering on Labor Day. We're celebrating birthdays, grilling and chilling, and hanging out with friends we haven't gotten to visit with in a long time. We also have something else to celebrate... clean bills of health!

My husband and I both had recent health scares that resulted in specialist visits and ultrasounds. While each experience was extremely nerve-racking for both of us, we're pleased with our results. Both areas of concern are benign (though I will need to continue to watch mine and have it checked regularly), and we're rejoicing that we don't have the dreaded 'C word' ... yet. Maybe not ever, but with cancer having run rampant in both of our families, we know we're high and medium risk.

For now, we can breathe a bit more easily, and possibly even sleep a bit better. The older we get, the more thankful we are for good health and the good health of our friends and family. We're lucky to have so many amazing people remain in our lives despite some of the health trials they have faced.

So this weekend, we have many things to celebrate, and celebrate we will!
