Trek 2008

*To show the raw emotion of the weekend I did not resize the pictures as small as I usually do. You should click on them to make them bigger to really get the FULL effect of the weekend.

unBElievABLE. One word. It was like nothing I could have even imagined or wrapped my head around. Sure I tried before they left, but NOTHING could have prepared me for what we saw, and we were only there for the LAST DAY. The phrase goes "A picture is worth a thousand words"...see for yourself.



My family.... is amazing....

Prayer Requests

Today (Friday) my SIL and nephew are taking off on a trek across our state, by bicycle. They start today and end on Sunday traveling an average of 60 miles each day. Math is not my strong subject but I just used a calculator and yes.... that is 180 miles over three days. An average of about 6 hours each day on their tandem bike.

They are doing it in honor of my FIL for the American Lung Association. I cannot express how PROUD of them I am. How much these two are stepping WAY out of their comfort zone. How amazing I think it is that a mother would guide and try to ease her children through the grieving process with something so positive.

Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers this weekend. For safety, for good weather, for dry air, light traffic on their route, for no mechanical troubles, for good health, for bodies that are able to keep up with how far they are pushing them, for traveling mercies of my BIL and Sky who are in a vehicle to meet them at rest stops, for Sky to be patient and understanding, and for good food that extremely picky SIL will eat to recharge her slightly anemic-self!! :)

We are going up on Saturday night and will meet up with everyone for dinner. Sunday we will all caravan to the finish line. I cannot WAIT to see them cross! So proud.
