Susan G. Komen: Race for the Cure

Susan G. Komen: Race for the Cure

This weekend, I participated in the 10th annual Susan G. Komen: Race for the Cure! It was a great experience to see over 14,000 men, women and children come out to support Breast Cancer Awareness. Something, obviously very dear to my heart-as I have dedicated my career to doing just that!!! I LOVE how involved we get to be with the community, here in Boise, through events like this. It always very touching to meet the Survivors of Breast Cancer , to see their ZEAL for life and to hear their "thank yous" for doing their mammograms. It puts into perspective what life is all about! I would tear up every time I read an " I'm racing in MEMORY of..." sign. And I'd quietly cheer when I read "racing in CELEBRATION of..." signs. I'm touched to be apart of something that helps so many and am VERY proud of what I do! As I walked in the crowd, I couldn't help but wonder how many many of these women's mammograms I had done over this last year. All jokes aside, I am so grateful to be a integral part in saving lives EVERY DAY!

My batteries died in the camera shortly before the race started so I couldn't showcase how huge this event was. So I added a link to one of the local news stations that covered the race. My favorite part is the aerial view of the start of the race. THAT'S ALOT OF PEOPLE!!

YEAH! She's FINALLY Here!

Congratulations to Torrey and Julianne (my little brother) on their new little sunshine!

This is How I Feel on My Days Off...

Ben's attempt to make the Bathroom LOOK Bigger!

I'm sooo grateful I married a man who can make me laugh the way that Ben does! The funny thing about it is that MOST of the time he isn't trying to be FUNNY... It just happens! Take for instance this weeks endeavor- Ben was working out at a job site where they were remodeling, what used to be, a Pediatric Clinic. They were removing all the TINY toilets and replacing them with your standard size "johns". Then Ben had an idea..."This would be perfect to help Mason get potty trained!"

So unbeknownst to Me, He brought one of these bad boys home , bleached it from top to bottom and installed it in our upstairs bathroom. When I got home from work, all Ben said was "Mason and I did something while you were at work...We hope you won't be mad?!" :)

The last time I heard that...there was a giant HOLE cut out of the wall to access under the stairs in our old house!!! So, needless to say- my mind was just reeling with what they POSSIBLY could've done! I made my way up the stairs to find this ..... A perfectly pint-sized throne for Mason! I was rendered totally speechless! All I could do was just laugh and shake my head! I know that it's hard to tell the size of it so I placed a standard size "softsoap" dispenser to help relate the size... As I figured, NO ONE would want to see an actual person using it! You're Welcome in advance!

Mason, by the way, doesn't want anything to do with it. He's more interested in playing in it than using it. . So Yes! -the mini potty idea will be "flushed" very soon! BUT- I am half tempted to leave it in for when COMPANY comes! HA! HA! HA! Just to see the look on their face... I'm such a devil!!
