Support Breast Cancer Research!

This weekend was spent cheering for all of the 3 Day walkers. As you know, my very dear friend, Beth's mother, was diagnosed with breast cancer in January of 2007. She is here today, free and clear of cancer and doing great! We all walked in the 3 Day (every step of every one of the 60, yes I said 60, miles) in 2007, but decided to be cheerleaders this year with myself and Stephanie (Beth's cousin) having babies! It was truly a blast and all of the walkers just LOVED us. We thought about all of the things we loved when we were walking and made those things happen this year for the walkers (really it was Pattie and Chris who bought everything...thanks girls).

Beth and I have a friend, Emily, who was walking this year. We saw her today a little before noon and she broke into tears when she saw us. She said, "Finally, I get to see y'all! I am so exhausted." We just said, "We know exactly how you feel. YOU CAN DO IT!" The 3 Day is the most awe-inspiring thing I have ever done besides getting married and giving birth to my two beautiful babies. I encourage each of you to get out there and do it one year. It will change your life and you will forever be hooked on the cause!

Emerson came out to cheer with me and of course I had her decked out in a onsie I made (I appliqued on a pink robbon I cut from some velvety soft fabric )and a tutu of course! She was a hit. So many people took her picture and lots of women said with moist eyes, "We are walking for you sweetheart." Talk about awe inspiring! I am attaching some pics from the weekend and leaving you with T-shirt sayings from the weekend! I wish I could remember them all. You talk about tears, try walking behind a father and son with a picture of their wife and mother on their backpack with a sign that says, "In memory of my mom/wife."

P.S. Campbell and Wesley had a boy's weekend. On Saturday, they watched the A&M game and on Sunday they went to the IMAX and saw Madagascar 2. How 'bout those Red Raiders!
