And me without my camera!

What kind of scrapbooker am I? I left the house Saturday morning for the American Diabetes Association Walk for a Cure and totally forgot my camera. Katie and Reese were walking with me and she forgot her camera as well. Oh well....It was a beautiful day! I wish I had my camera because Reese looked so cute in her walk T-shirt, she was a real trooper for the whole route!They had a great turn out and as of the walk end had raised over $200,000 for the ADA! Katie and I have been actively raising money for the American Diabetes Association for the last two years. Most of you who know me know that Gregg, my hubby, was diagnoised at age 7 with Type 1 diabetes. The last few years have been a challenge for him and for us to learn how to deal with the complications that come from having a chronic illness for 33 years. I appreciate so much those who donate money through our team, and through all the others, I hope that we see a cure in my lifetime, and his. On this subject please pray for Gregg this week, he is seeing the eye specialist tommorrow, he has had some complications with his retina, that have been closely monitored for the past few years and in the last few months some changes have occured and may need to be addressed more closely. He is dreading the decision that will be out of his hands if there are any more changes when he goes tommorrow. Please just take a minute or two and think of him, and say a little prayer for good news.

On a totally separate note...I have been competing in a challenge at Scrap4life Imade it to week 3 and I totally loved my LO, but I didn't advance to week 4. Oh well, I was a little bummed, but I know that the team they pick will be great and provide lots of inspiration. I actually had wanted to do this LO and the challenge made me get it done, so thanks Jodie for that! Here's the LO, and it has made me smile every time I walked past it this week! It was really a good time!
