Avon Breast Cancer Walk

My good friend Sam and I attended an informational meeting about the Avon Breast Cancer Walk! I am super excited for this event in May. We are going to walk over 30 miles in two days and I can't wait. My goal is to raise over the $1,800.00 minimum. We are walking for our friend Linnae and others who are affected by not only breast cancer but other cancers as well. I will keep posting on my progress in raising money and training!

Celebration of life

When I came to work this morning I was told the news about the passing of our beloved President of the Mormon Church. President Hinkley lived his life to serve and was such an example to all.

I love this quote from him:

"We are dedicated ... to teaching the gospel of peace, to the promotion of civility and mutual respect among people everywhere, to bearing witness to the living reality of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the practice of his teachings in our daily lives," Hinckley said.

I am sad for the loss to the people whom he served but am happy that he is now able to join his wife who proceeded him and to be with the Savior and all the heavenly hosts. His wisdom, compassion and leadership will be missed. Even though I mourn his loss I feel compelled to celebrate his life because of how he led his life and what he has meant to so many.

President Hinkley, we love you and will miss you!

Hectic Life

It has been a long time since I have posted. My Mom has been very sick and in the hospital the last two weeks. She is currently in the ICU but is improving daily. I am so grateful to all my friends and family who keep offering their prayers and help. I love the fact that so many people from so many different religions are praying for my mom to get better. Hopefully the next couple of weeks will be positive one's in my Moms road to recovery.
