Here and Now

This morning our family participated in Head For The Cure , which is a 5k walk/run to benefit brain cancer research.

I hope that everyone is feeling better by next weekend, because that is when we do the 5k Head for the Cure run and walk for brain cancer. We have participated every year since Dave was diagnosed, and it is a day for us, as a family, to count our blessings, and be thankful for each other, and the extra time that we have been given. In other news... I've been playing with my new camera phone. It is the first camera phone that I've ever had, so I've been taking pictures, and just figured out how to send them to people. I sent a couple of pictures to my dad, and now I think I've created a monster! All that I will say here, is that he has a twisted and sick sense of humor, and now he will ...
