relay!

So last this past year I was on a team for our local Relay for Life. It was a lot of fun and I was doing it in honor of my grandma who passed away at the beginning of the year from Thyroid Cancer. A few weeks after the Relay this past May I received an email from the Chair of the planning Committee and a friend of my grandmothers asking me if I was interested in being on the next years planning committee! I said Yes, of course!

I have been to two planning committee meetings so far. And this past weekend we all went to a little thing called Relay Academy. I was up before the crack of dawn this Saturday and headed down to Woodland for the event. It was lively, eventful, and moving. We had little classes we had to attend and I feel like I learned alot more about Relay and what I'm going to have to do to be apart of the planning committee for the Nevada County Relay for Life. I'm the chair of the Luminaria. I'm looking forward to figuring out a plan and learning more and more in the upcoming months.

It's going to be a lot of work but I'm up for the challenge!

For more information about Relay for Life go
I think it's a really fun event. It's inspiring and it's heartfelt. Plus you are doing something good for your community, the world, your family, friends and maybe even yourself.

I hope you all had a great weekend. Besides the above I mostly just relaxed at my house and enjoyed the rainy weather. Lots of football games on Sunday (stupid 49ers losing again!) and a birthday Celebration for my Sister.

Help a sister out!

I'm really looking forward to May 22nd and 23rd.

WHY you ask?

I'm participating in the annual Relay For Life walk.

It's such an amazing event.

I have decided to walk in my Grandma's honor. She passed away earlier this year from thyroid cancer. She was an awesome person. She did so much, gave so much, and hardly asked for anything in return. She was an amazing lady.

I know that the American Cancer Society puts these events on annually in several locations. You should really check into it and see if there is one near you and your town. The Luminaria is something to see! They line the whole walk way with white bags with names of people fighting cancer or who passed away from cancer. They put candles in them and light them at night. It's beautiful. It actually makes me cry. (i'm sensitive, lol)

If you would like to donate to me and my team i would love you forever. You can make the donation in memory of anyone you want. Just remember it's for an awesome cause!


Happy Thursday and Tax Day!
