Avon Breast Cancer Walk

I was blessed to gain a sister in 2009. My brother married Meghan and we couldn't be happier to have her in our family. She is one of the most thoughtful and caring individuals I know. Case in point, she has decided to do the Avon Breast Cancer Walk this spring in honor of my Mamaw, who has battled breast cancer. The walk consists of a marathon walk day #1, a night in a tent, followed by a half marathon on day #2. She also has to raise $1800 for breast cancer research. If you are interested in supporting her, visit her blog at Getting our Ducks in a Row or her Avon page.

Bridesmaids' Luncheon

Meghan's Mom, Donna, Meghan and my Mom

All the wedding festivities kicked off with a Bridesmaids' Luncheon on Friday morning. Meghan's aunt hosted us at her home for a lovely lunch. Only 4 of the 7 bridesmaids were able to attend, but it was great time to visit and see Meghan before all the craziness set in.

A Quick Trip to Houston

Not only do I have my paternal grandparents in my life, but both of my maternal grandparents are in Texas as well. I am so incredibly blessed! Granny and Grandaddy moved into an assisted living facility in Houston last year, so we always try to make a trip down to see them. This time it was a very quick day trip. Thankfully the boys were excellent and made the car trip as pleasant as possible. Here are a few pictures from our visit.

It's always worth the trip!
