So I have to say.... my friend Jo is so amazing and today is HER DAY for sure!! She is doing so much to help the Earth and "Go Green". Some day I hope to be as good as she is! I will think of a great list and try to do better this year I swear!!!
Last year on Earth Day it was my friend Jeremy's Birthday so we meet up with him and his family at his house and then walked over to the stadium for the Angels game! My little baby girl took her first steps that evening (you probably recall reading my blog about it)! Amazing that a year later she's so much more grown up and kid like!!
April has been a crazy, crazy busy month! Work has been super busy to, but I LOVE it just as much as the first day I started! This weekend is our Relay for Life!!! Going to be so much fun! I am walking in honor of my mom! I made really cool shirts for most of the team with my mom's picture on it. A few Luminary bags were bought in honor of my mom. The bags are pretty cool because they are personalized with your message. Can't wait to be there and see them in person! This weekend will be long, it's 24 hours of taking turns on out team walking. It will be very emotional because the whole weekend will be about people who have lost their battle to cancer, survivors of cancer and all around awareness of it. There is a slideshow at night where we submitted pictures of mom, that will of course bring me to ball my eyes out as well. I am glad that their will be a lot of people there that will be in my same shoes and really be able to understand how Cancer affects people. I am proud to say I will have several people by my side to walk in Mom's name as well! Victor, Jacquie, Melissa, Crystal, Jennifer and a whole team of people. This weekend will be a lot of fun, it's like camping with a bunch of friends. Smores and all. But most of all I think this weekend will be great in the healing process for us. Cancer affects everyone in some kind of way, almost everyone I know has lost someone to it or knows a survivor of it. This weekend we walk for every one of those people! Pics and stories to come, gotta get busy baking for our bake sale!

Ah, Jamie! Thanks for the shout out! I'm trying, well, at least making a conscious effort to be better. Little things like reusable grocery bags, klean kanteen water bottles, etc are so easy and make a HUGE difference! Total baby steps though. Try small attainable goals to start.
That is so awesome that you guys took part in that! I know your mom was smiling down. Wish I could have been there!
