5k run 'Race for the Cure'

I am happy to report that I ran the 5K in a better time than last year (28 min). It made me very happy. Not only is it a great cause, but it is so fun to do in Amarillo. There were over 5,000 entries for the 5K run and the fun-run (which the majority of the people did) Amarillo raised over $56,000 for Susan G Komen foundation. Wow! Then after the runners were finished and they were doing the fun-run, everyone who ran could have a free hot air balloon ride. Well more like a lift, but it was fun. All in all it was a great experience, this is the 3rd year I have run it and hope I can can continue every year. Now, off to find some more 5K's to enter!

Birthday Girl!

Today we celebrate 17 years with Meredith. Oh how time flies! She has brought so much happiness into our lives with her tenderness, fiestiness, and her genuine love for people. She is an animal and baby lover. She is passionate and dramatic. Our family wouldn't be complete without her and we thank Heavenly Father daily for her special spirit. Yes, it may shock you to see her birth picture but it is proof that ugliness can turn into beauty. Ok,ok thats kinda rude. I think of the day I gave birth and saw her for the first time. I couldn't believe that she was mine. She didn't look anything like Megan, except for the dark hair, and her cheeks were HUGE. I remember calling my mom and explaining that her cheeks were so big they made her head look bigger than her body. No matter, she turned out beautiful and everywhere I went people would look at her and say "she looks just like one of those precious moments dolls" So to my precious Meredith, Happy BIRTH-day. I was there and I know you belong to us. We love you forever!

Homecoming!

Ok, so we now live in the big state of Texas where everything is BIG, right? So for homecoming here they don't wear formals and have a dance. They give each other mums and gaters that are to be worn at the homecoming football game. Now these are not just your average mum they are ginormous and consist of many things hanging from them. Most of the time they don't even say on because they are so heavy. Needless to say it was interesting and Merediths was beautiful. We had a garter made for her date and it turned out pretty cute too.
