It happened...



That's right, there was no stopping it. I hit the big 3-0. And although my husband was not here to celebrate I did get to ring it in with 18 of my closest friends. The whole night was such a reminder of how blessed we are to have such community and such an amazing support system in our lives. Thanks to everyone who came! BTW, Alexa made me wear the hat:)

I'm turning 30!!!

So, on Monday I'm turning 30! Yikes:)

In order to commemorate my birthday, I'm trying to get 30 friends(or more) to donate $30(or more) for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Team in Training program. Not only have I committed to raising a bunch of money, I've also signed up to run another half marathon for blood cancer patients and their families.

So I need you! Can you spare $30 as a birthday gift to me? Won't you please help!

Please go to www.tinyurl.com/gokimgo to make a tax deductable donation.

AND A HUGE THANKS to Abraham Khalil! Abraham and his buddies collected $14.31 on their street for cancer patients and their families! You are one awesome dude Abe!

Here I sit...

So, I'm blogging tonight from my new sitting spot... right outside of Hannah's door. We've had some issues lately with her fighting me when it's time for nap or for bedtime. So, to remedy that, I have started posting myself outside of her door at bedtime and every time she comes and opens the door, I walk her right back to her bed without saying a word.

The Supernanny would be proud.

In other news, it's less than a month until Todd comes home for a 4-day pass. He'll be here from July 1st-4th. Then he heads back to Ft. Hood for a month before leaving for Iraq. We are very excited for him to come home but it's also bittersweet because this is probably the last time he'll be home until April 2012. It's been nice always having the thought of this visit in the back of my head, so when he leaves on the 5th I'll have to find something else to look forward to.

In other news, I am about to start training for another half marathon. This one is in Savannah in November. Of course, I am doing it with Team in Training again so be expecting a fundraising letter soon:) I'm hoping to raise $2000 this time for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Once I get the website for that set up I'll be posting a link here!

Pictures of our life lately will be coming soon! I have a feeling I'll have a lot of writing time while I sit and wait for her to fall asleep every night.
