Relay for Life

My friend Misty was the head leader for the Relay for Life group in our moms group, I was not affected by anyone in my family or friends with cancer until about 4 days before the race....  it is my sisters friend Crystal and I have had the privilege to do her a hair a few times :)))  my family and I wanted to join all the racers and survivors that evening.  I was able to light a luminary in honor of Crystal before he evening began.  Brian was the team mascot I would say and dressed up as a girl and walked the track to collect money- there wasn't very many givers or he wasn't strutting his stuff and showing enough leg or not flirting enough to collect lots of money..... he did an awesome job, it was just a few hours before the race when I was at a meet up and Misty said she needed a guy to dress up as a girl with a tool belt on.... I said Brian will, but let me make sure he doesn't mind :))))) My kids even helped support the cancer walk and walked around the track lots!!!!

I french braided Christina's hair for her

Crystal who is my sisters friend and was undergoing surgery that had turned into some complications while I was at this race..... as all the luminaries were being lit with flame less candles the wind picked up and a storm was rolling in.... I was texting my sister as she was telling me Crystal was in ICU..... that the storm was coming to let us know she is a fighter and will come through and come off life support!!!! she is home and her spirits are high!!!  I have text Crystal bible verses and I pray for Crystals healing and strength!!!!

the lights are out and all you can see are all the luminaries as each and every persons name was called out!!!!  after all the names were announced we had to pack up as the race was suppose to go until 7am the next morning but the storm was with lots of lightning and nobody wanted to take chances :)))
