Alittle bit of this and a little bit of that!

I'm so behind on blogging, so these are some pics from a few things at the end of the school year!

Thank You PTA breakfast!  Love these girls!

The theme was

"Volunteers, tied together like family"

Sweet Cara and Landon!

Its always so special to walk along side of Cara and her friends and family.  I will walking until there is a cure for CF!!

Help me make CF stand for Cure Found!!

Obviously we are back from Disney World!  I cant believe its almost been a month since my last post!  While I have a ton of pics to upload and share with you guys, I wanted to take the time to ask a favor.

Cystic Fibrosis...well quite frankly, it SUCKS!

I have a beautiful friend Cara who has suffered with CF since her 1st birthday.  She is just the sweetest, most beautiful, kind hearted, person you will ever meet.

We went to high school together and I am now a part of her amazing Great Strides team, Caras Corps.

We will be walking in Houston, TX on may 22nd to help raise money to find a cure for Cystic Fibrosis.

Landon is walking with me this year, so he is super excited! (its less than 3 miles! lol)

 If you could please take 3 minutes of your time to watch the short, yet powerful video about Cara I would greatly appreciate it.

Here is a link to my personal page where you can view the video, join our team or donate money to our team.

If you are led to or are able to donate, I know Cara and myself would be forever grateful!!

If not, please don't feel pressured.  A simple prayers for her and all of the other survivors would be awesome as well!!

Here is most of team from last year!

Cara and her wonderful husband, Patrick!

Thanks to all of my friends and family who have already donated!

I couldn't do it without you!

One more day!!!!

The Cystic Fibrosis-Great Strides walk is finally HERE!!!

We are going to Cara's dads tonight for pizza and beer (yes, that's how us Texans do it!!), and the big walk is tomorrow morning!!!

In case you haven't been paying attention (lol) or are new to my blog, please visit HERE to see what all this "Cara" talk is about!!

Our team is up to 35 members and has raised $9,420!!!!!

We are shy ONLY $580 from our goal of $10,000!!!

I'm here LAST minute to ask if anyone can help us reach that goal! Every dollar you could donate gets us closer and is greatly appreciated!!!

I am so proud to be a part of this hard working team!

I finished our (Lissa's and mine) shirts this week and cant wait to join the team in the morning!

Heres a sneak peak!!! :)

Of course there will be more pics coming soon! (as long as I don't look too crazy and sweaty! lol) Its supposed to be in the 90's, so we will pray for low humidity!!
