Korissa's Magical MAW/GKTW PTR....4 HUGE Big Give (2-18-11)..page 40

[brookerene]

Saturday is our Make A Wish...Walk for Wishes. I'm upset with myself for not working harder on the donation. Last year I got $1,050 in donation and this year $300 so far..ugh. I honestly haven't had the energy. I will just have work harder next year.

On a happy note...After the walk we are going to meet our wish granters(they will be at the walk) at Cold Stone and they are going to present everything to us(expence check). They also are getting Korissa a digital camera. Korissa wants the one that Gail gave us..so Kyra will take the one they are giving to Korissa. Now they both will have a camera and their will be no fighting. I can't believe we are down to 9 days!!!

Well every dollar makes a difference.... so I think $300 is great... and next year you can try for more...

I've never been to Cold Stone... the closest is Omaha (3.5 hours) and I never get to that part of town! That is going to be exciting to meet them and everything! Hey two cameras is great! That way someone else can take some photos with out having to switch cameras! So we will wait to hear how things went! Hoping for a lot of photos!

Saturday was our 5th annual Walk for Wishes. Our chapter raised over $200,000 dollars. We had a wonderful time. The only problem was the heat. It was 83 degrees that day. After the walk we went to a japanese food place with our Wish Granters for Korissa's going away celebration. We got our expense check. Now I can stop worrying about if we will make it or not. Korissa got a digital camera, but she is keeping the one that Gail gave her. They all got lanyards with some trading pins and a bag with neck pillows. Here are some pictures

Your walk is huge
We are doing the March of Dimes walk and we are lucky if we hit $30,000 total.

What kind of chair does Kylee have?
Is it a mac?

$30,000 is still a lot. The LA chapter is one of the busiest chapter...beside the Orlando Chapter....since they do a lot of out of towners too.

This is Kylee's chair(just not this style. She has had it for over a year now and didn't have the cute pattern like now). It's one of the top carseats.

We are going nuts. Yesterday was wasted day as my In Laws came up(not that it was a bad thing..just couldn't get things done) and today is another wasted day as Korissa and Kylee both have their Mito appts that's a 1 1/2 hour drive and usually a 2 hour appt than drive home. Going to be too tired to do anything when I get home.

Oh...and I think Korissa is getting sick again..or it's the same one she just got over with and it's showing it ugly butt again. Scott is sick with a virus. He went to the doctors yesterday and his throat looks a mess...so he is now on Antibiotics. I swear the airline is going to think we have a Pharmacy in our suitcase...ugh.
