I know some people have been waiting for me to write and post pictures of my 3 day journey, and I apologize it has taken so long it has been busy!
First, I want to thank EVERYONE who supported me by coming out to cheer, donating money, praying, and just being there as I took on this experience. I would not have been able to complete the walk or raise the money without all of you! Thank you, I truly could not have done it without all of you! Next, to my walking partners, Rochelle and Sheila--- thank you SO much for walking with me! I had so much fun getting to know you and walking with you all weekend!
I spent 3 days walking and camping to walk 60 miles and raise money to help end breast cancer. It was an AMAZING experience. To walk with over 3,000 men and women to take a stand against cancer, and raise awareness and funds for breast cancer research, was great! We started at Southfork Ranch the first day (where Dallas was filmed) and walked to SMU over the course of 3 days. We walked approx 20 miles a day, then camped at night. I have never camped in a tent, and I learned after the first night, that there is an inner zipper and an outer zipper. Needless to say, we were much warmer the second night in our tent.
On Sunday when my feet were sore, my legs hurt, I had been walking for 3 days and sleeping outside, I said I didn't think I would do it again. Now, a week later and feeling much better, I 100% believe the experience was worth all the pain and I would do it again!!! :)
Here are just a few pics from along the journey

Halloween at School
Tuesday, October 21, 2008

Yesterday Nancy and I received a phone call from the Ron Clark Academy! We applied for a grant through our district to go and visit their academy on December 5th. We posted the video on YouTube so that the district committee could see it. We received the grant, and are going for a campus visit on Dec 5th! SO exciting....
WELL...
Yesterday Ron Clark, and the academy's cofounder, Heather Bearden contacted us because they saw the video!! We have no idea how they found it on you tube.. BUT they did, and they want to bring us to their big conferences in Atlanta !! We are soooo pumped !! We sent an email back to them with a BIG HUGE THANK YOU !!! We can't wait !!
Here is our video:

Spider Update
Well after a month or so... my pet spider has moved out! I am truly hoping he has NOT made his way into my apartment for his new home. My apt building got a new roof last week, and the spider disappeared.

Along Came a Spider

I have been watching a pet spider that now has lived on my balcony for 3 weeks. It moved its house/web to the other side of my porch last week, and I was really nervous that it had moved inside. I probably should report him/her to the apt office before it gets cold outside... I am pretty sure once it gets cold it will want to live inside with me. No Thank you.....

I am fascinated with its size and colors and would hate to see it die.... BUT it is also kind of scary looking. Nancy came to take pictures for me so you all can see my new pet! Thanks Nancy....
What type of spider is it? Is it Poisonous ---- not sure if I want to find out!
