5k training...

Okay....so today marks the first day of my 5k training for the Plano Race for the Cure. Have no fear, I am not alone in this....a friend of mine offered to help me train. And I'm not intimidated in the least just b/c she did a half marathon a couple months back....okay, maybe I am just a little bit. But I made her promise not to poke fun at me behind my back too much, since clearly I am lacking in the athletic dept. And she agreed! We agreed! We agreed that she'd only talk smack to my face to keep me moving. So far so good!! And I'll try to post an update tomorrow as to how much of my mileage I actually walked, haha.

Lots of Love,

Me

10 more days until Relay for Life...

ONLY 10 more days until the BIG day! It's hard to believe, b/c that's just around the corner.

As of right now I've been able to raise $175 in personal donations for our team with a personal goal of $500. Just about half way there, WHOOHOO!!

For those of you who'd like to follow the status of my fundraising please click on the link below:

Hopefully my camera won't be on the fritz and I can snap some good pics at the relay. I am SUPER excited.....can't wait to share how it goes!!

Lots of Love,

HOLY COW!!

I just received an email from our Relay for Life Team Captain and she said that we are now at $3,100. This is AMAZING and WONDERFUL! With just a little over 2 weeks to go until the event I'd say we're on the fast track to success. You ladies are unbelievably awesome!

We still have another fundraising event, our 2nd (and final) Dippin' Dots day & the change that the kiddos at school are bringing in. Between both of those, I'm sure we're going to go over $4,000 & it's hard to believe that in such a short amount of time we could raise this much. I'm in awe of the love & support from this school and this team.

I joined this team because I am inspired to do more, to do my part, I wanted to show my support for JF and I wanted to honor my Mom. These are two women who show me strength & give me LIVING proof that you can do ANYTHING!! And there isn't a day that I don't say a prayer for JF and my Mom, iHEART you ladies.

Love,

Daughter

Surprised Kitty (Original)

This video TOTALLY makes me smile & laugh EVERY time I watch it!! My brother had told me about it a few years ago & I saved it to my YouTube "Favorites." Hope you'll get a good laugh too.... Or if you know someone who needs one, this could do the trick (it does for me, but then again I am easily amused).

XoXo,
