About Me

You've got to be kidding me, I have Breast Cancer? My name is Madelene Boudreaux. I just had my 51st birthday and my present was cancer. Although it wasn't the present I was expecting, I have decided to embrace it as such. My life as it existed is changed. Even though my diagnosis is that I have the most common breast cancer you can have (80% of the women who get breast cancer have this one) and the actual tumor was only 1.2 centimeters and there was only a microscopic spec in one lymph node... things just changed overnight. I feel confident that I will be healed with all the surgery, chemo and radiation, as well as the prayers, the shift in lifestyle and health changes, all of this with God as my Healer overseeing the whole plan. Most importantly, sunsets are more beautiful, my children are more precious and I cry for everything. Such clarity prevails, where life was blurry. I know my healing will come gently through trusted medical professionals, faith in a loving God and prayerful friends. I am surrounded by love with my family of eight kids and a great husband and a community of kind spirits!

It's official! Blanche and Matt are ENGAGED!





Blanche went to visit Matt in Waco this weekend and was convinced she would be fine if she came back without an engagement ring. I was not that convinced, but it didn't matter anyway because he officially popped the question and of course she accepted. SOOOOO... On Friday, June the 11th, 2010, Blanche will become Mrs. Matt Boudreaux! She doesn't even have to change her name! Now how cool is that? We are all so happy for the 2 of them. We welcome Matt to our family with open arms and are overjoyed! What great news!

Our Sunday meal was great and the cake of the day was Blair's Lemon Coconut creation. I think Blair is ready to start taking orders for her confection creations.... especially gourmet cupcakes! She is so talented! Call her for your next entertaining encounter!
Glad to share just happy news lately!!! Life is GOOD!
