out to cure the world!

Herro family! I finally found some time to sit down and bloooog. I thought I would share photos from the Ahlzeimer's walk. What an awesome little walk. I say little cause it was 4 or 5 laps... 1 if you were rolling by wheelchair. It's incredible to see how many people are affected by the nasty disease and want to help find some sort of cure for it. After our journey with Grammy I can just see that we were so blessed to be all together as a family on the journey with Grandma. It was a trial for her but a blessing for us. She has touched my life forever and because of it I will continually try to serve those around me the best I can. Our family did such an awesome job raising money for this fundraiser. Thank you to all who contributed and walked, it was a great success! And you can all count on me to take part in it next year too!

I am also gonna share the photos from the Diabetes walk. A whole other disease my immediate family deals with. We all love our papa Floyd and support him the best way we can as he deals with this health issue every day. It's a struggle A LOT of people deal with now a days. Instead of walking this year, we decided we'd rather volunteer and support those who were walking. It sounds like we were taking the lazy approach to it, but I disagree. It was actually fun to share the exciting energy of the families there supporting some one in their family. It was cool to be at the registry desk and meet the people who are affected by it and have an amazing story behind it. It was awesome to see teams of families that had shirts that said "Team Rachel" or "Team Billy" Many families are affected by this disease. I say family because one person may have diabetes but it's the support of family that helps get through the tough times. After our five hours of making sure every one was set to walk we were able to go to the zoo and see the new baby elephant. Oh that baby was cute I just wanted to get on the other side of the fence and wrestle with it... I think I want a pet elephant instead of a puppy.... But now I'm torn seein this new little Mr. Ridge... hm.

Oh yeah! Browsin my photos I ran across pics from the cabin, enjoy!






























Love you guys all so much!
Love,
