Relay for Life 2009

Just wanted to post a few pics from Relay for Life. Top is a team photo. The few in between are of the Relay ceremony and our booth area. The bottom photo is of our cancer survivor, Chris with his mom. We helped raise over $15K that night for the American Cancer Society! In addition, our team helped raise $3K. Couldn't be happier.

Very busy

I've got a lot going on lately. First off, Andrew and I are beginning to update the house. We're installing new counter tops this week. Nothing fancy but better than the wood laminate they had on there. I've been working out in the yard a lot and plan to do some digging and planting today. Next I want to paint the house and somewhere in between there we're going to refinish our cabinets.

On another note, this coming weekend is Relay for Life. I've been working on this event since August 2008, so I can hardly believe it's here but am really looking forward to it. I still have so much to do this week in order to prepare for it. I think I'll be glad when Saturday comes.

Next weekend my parents are coming to visit. I'm always excited when my family comes but I'm hoping the kitchen will be looking decent by then.

And an update with the teaching program...my application was accepted! I had a phone interview last Friday and have a test to take on May 6. After that, hopefully I will be accepted into the program and begin classes on May 18. Wish me luck!

Well off to spend money at the Plant Shed! Spring time has really made me want to work on the house and if anyone has seen our 1970's house, then you know that it definitely needs it!
