Catching Up

Didn't realize two months had gone by since a blog update! Alot has happened in the past two months....my friend Nicole came for a visit. She's one of my biggest cheerleaders in life and I truly value her friendship. We did some hiking....
Nicole is an excellent photographer!

In Estes. Duh.



 The next week,I was able to meet up with my good friends Em and Anth who were vacationing in Colorado. They are a couple who are on fire for the Lord and bless so many around them. Of course I forgot to take a pic while they were here =(
A few weeks later I flew to Florida for my cousin Ashley's wedding. It was beautiful weather and I really enjoyed spending time with my mom for a few days and celebrating Ashley's marriage!


Last weekend was our CureSearch walk for pediatric cancer. It was a powerful day- walking with survivors, kids currently fighting it, but also in honor of the kiddos we've lost. We were able to raise over $58,000 dollars towards research, however on that same day, we lost one of our patients who had been battling cancer for years. We still aren't there yet. I try not to be bitter, but I tend to get extremely annoyed with all the breast cancer awareness- NFL teams wearing pink shoes and gloves, all cereal boxes donating to breast cancer research- and breast cancer is practically curable! (I know,any type of cancer is horrible and I'm not discounting breast cancer survivors- I just wish childhood cancer had that same awareness and hope of a cure!) OK, off my soapbox =) 
I think that sums up the past few months....in a few weeks it will be my two year anniversary with Denver!

Hi Steph,
I am thinking today of how much we are going to miss having you home for Christmas! Enjoy your time with your kids that you care for at work, Christmas services at church, time with friends and know that your family in MI loves you!

I check every week or so for a new update. Guess one of my blogger daughters is being "silent" for a while!
