I can't believe I haven't blogged in 7 months. Have you all missed me? I've missed you! I've changed the tittle and we have a new look, but really it's just the same old same old. I've decided to get the blog back and going because there have been some really big things happening and there are some really big things coming up! This past weekend Laurie and I flew over to Florida. We were a part of the Inaugural National Breast Cancer Marathon. Hands down biggest and best thing I have ever been involved in. 100 % of ALL of the profits were donated to breast cancer research and to women living with breast cancer who have no insurance. When I left to come home on Monday the total raised was over
$800,000.00- Did you just get chills all over your body.... I did. I have to say that I did cry all weekend, but it was tears of joy and sadness all wrapped up. Of coarse most of you know what an 
emotional nut I am, so you aren't surprised! Laurie and I flew out on Friday. We spent all day Saturday at a health expo. We picked up some cool free stuff and bought some even cooler stuff. We sat in and listened to Jeff Gallaway, the man who's running program we follow, and Joan Benoit, the 1984 Olympic Marathon Gold Medalist, speak. Sunday morning was the marathon. Now I would like to lie and tell you that I ran all 26.2 miles, but I didn't. Laurie and I did the 1/2 marathon, 13.1. But hey, not bad for a
former fat girls! After the race came the best part... a bagle, an apple, and several bottles of water Laurie and I made our way down to the post race celebration! Let me just tell you that there is nothing better than a six pack of beer, l
istening to a live band, and wearing a nice pink medal around your neck. What a weekend! We already have plans to hit the big event again next year. Everybody mark your calendars for Feb.19th. I am hoping that you will join us!
