Well friends, it is Relay week. Which means that my life is going to be crazy. It is a good crazy though because it serves a purpose and whenever you do things with a purpose, your soul is rewarded.
Today, Sarah Kate and Julia set out to sell candy bars for Sarah Kate's team. They sold over 50 bars today..YEAH!! They went to businesses, fire stations..stopped people on the streets. I was so proud of them. For those of you who know my daughter, this is not such a suprise. She got the gift of speech and she is not afraid to use it!
We all got together tonight to seperate team shirts for those who made their goals. The captains shirts, committee shirts and survivor were also taken care of. Tomorrow night, we all meet for a bank night and pick up those shirts. It is the last night to hand in funds before the event, which is Friday night through Saturday at noon. Sarah Kate even got a donation from the lady who transfered our title on the camper! That girl can work it!! After that, Corey has a game.
On Wednesday, Uncle Don (my brother) comes in for a few days. He will be at OSU most of the time, but does get to hang out with us for a while. I also have a CEU class on wednesday night. Thursday, believe it or not..I am home. But please...do not tell anyone! They might find something for me to do!!
Friday, the madness begins!! Relay does not begin until 6 p.m., but there is alot to do and we will be at the field most of the day. Buzz is our Miss Relay for Mitchell Insurance and I will be happy to post pics after he event!! Wait till you see the get up he has!! It will be worth it!! The event is over Saturday and I am praying we are successful.
So, I guess, what does not kill you, makes you stronger! We will be tired...we will be crazy...our bodies will hurt. But if it helps one person..so be it. This work is for all those Pappy's...Dad's and other loved ones who have fought the good fight and won..and lost. Pray for good weather!!
