Run Like a Mother

What a blessing! The 2010 Run Like a Mother event had a great turn-out. Over 200 people! And the proceeds all went to the Rhodes family who lost their son last week. It was awesome to be a part of this great event in our own Community!


My friends and I knew the parking would be horrible...so we had the 'brilliant idea' to walk from my house to the event (almost 2 miles), then after we arrived, we mingled and walked around for 45 minutes before the event started. Then 2 miles run/walk for the event. Then another 45 minutes of mingling/walking around...then the 2 miles trek back to my house! Whew! Those hills about killed my legs!

Saw so many sweet friends and cousins and loved visiting with them! Here I am chatting with my cousin Nikki! And below are cousins Lacy & Shelly. Great to visit with family at these events!

I was thinking to myself that next year we will drive over to do the event...then I saw pictures of myself and decided I needed the extra miles! I hate pictures of myself! But I'm posting anyway for motivation!

The boys!

EMERGENCY!

I returned from Houston on a Sunday night only to turn around and go back on Wednesday morning! Cara didn't feel well Tuesday night and by 6:30am the next morning was on her way to the ER...Apendectomy before noon! Two nights in the hospital and two nights with her at home before I came back home! Truly THANKFUL it happened now and now near wedding time or honeymoon!

I Can Hear the Bells

Wedding preparations are in full swing...Invitations mailed, RSVPs are pouring in, lots of last minute preparations!

Tux Fittings, Dress Fittings, Pictures, Showers, Program Fans to make, Water Bottle Labels to Print, Final choices on Flowers, Decorations, Hoursedouveirs, Cake, Candles, Favors....

Pouring candles this weekend! Still need to decide which dress I'm going to wear! Maybe I should post pictures of both and ask for advice? Starting on the programs this weekend!

Due to my EMERGENCY trip to Houston last week I was able to sample all the cake flavors! Yum! It's going to be Awesome!
