There is power in friendship & bonds that carry strong ties throughout the course of life. With a new chapter in my life it has been wonderful having so many that have been with me through thick, thin and all the in between. It's pretty awesome having really good, epic girl friends.
As my teacher friends begin to trickle in to town it's always fun to catch up on the happenings of the past two months, but it also is a clear tell sign that the day's of summer are rapidly coming to an end. But without doubt, it has been an awesome summer that I am still clinging to the fact that we technically have a little over a week left.
Last weekend the four of us headed over to Pa to participate in the Livestrong Challenge. Jordan, Taylor & I ran in the 5k event. There were a few thousand participants all there to run, have fun and support a very worthwhile cause. One hundred percent of the proceeds are designated for cancer research. Looking around the sea of people around us each one had, in some way, been effected by this disease. At one point in the run seeing so many names written on tee shirts and on signs in memory of a loved one, it brought tears to my eyes. So many impacted, but also so many determined to bring forth something positive in the battle being waged against cancer.
We're already talking about pulling a team together from the area for next year. How cool would it be to represent with a solid 20+ people? Good stuff for a good purpose. Keep on rockin'.
