The week got away from me.
I'm taking a car full of kids to the movies and to go swimming today. I'm leaving for Bend tomorrow. And I'm doing the Deschuttes Dash triathlon on Saturday.
And that means I'm out of blogging time this week.
So I'll have to get to the rest of those 4th of July photos and my email inbox next week. (Sorry.)
And my sister called me this morning and would like me to clarify that her lack of support for my music choices (from this post) did not carry over into a general lack of support on her behalf.
So blog-world, please know that my sister was very supportive of me.
She's always been there for me in fact.
It's was just Alanis Morissette that she let down.
In all seriousness though Leigh Ann, thank you for being at my side in the hospital room (during both the failed induction and the successful induction), thank you for buying Ross a bike when you knew I couldn't afford to get him one, thank you for always being on the other end of the phone line when I needed someone and mostly, thanks for telling me the truth, because (as you know) the truth changed the course of my entire life.
Love you.
Good luck! And have fun!

Sisters are great like that. I have two and I couldn't be more appreciative of their honesty (though brutal at times), love, support and goofiness. :)

(among other things). Good luck this weekend!

Karen
You may not read this before your event, but I actually am going to be in Bend this weekend staying about a 5 minute walk away. I would love to cheer you on if I knew when your start time is (although giving that to a complete stranger may be creepy and I understand). If I do see you by chance-I will cheer you on!!! as will my family. I will be the one with the Guide Dog for the Blind puppy in training with me. Good luck and enjoy the process!

good luck on your race!
