We're back and in one piece!!! We did it! All 60 miles and we didn't sweep! The first day we walked according to the 3-Day 21 miles, but according to a few pedometers worn by walkers it was 26! We struggled physically and emotionally but overall the experience was amazing! My mom camped for the first time, we waited in line for a shower truck 3 1/2 hours on Friday night, only to come home to shower Saturday night, we tried new foods, met new friends, and overall learned that you can do anything you set your mind to! Enjoy some pictures from the event under Hunter's slideshow, these were taken by friends and family, our camera was disposable so I'm sorry you won't be able to see those. We were greeted by Dad, Grandpa and Hunter all weekend, and Dad did great with Hunter with Grandpa's help! On Saturday our great friends Marianne and Michele came bringing smiles, and caffeine in the shape of pop and chocolate! On Sunday we were greeted by Great Grandpa & Grandma in their Breast Cancer gear, and my Mother & Father-in-law, Sister-in-law, and nieces and nephew! They came with signs the kids made, smiles, support, and they even helped hand out popsicles to other walkers! Thank you all for you support!!! We needed it! We were sad to find out that my Aunt Rose came too, but she didn't find us in the crowd :( but we are so grateful for the drive and effort! Love you all!

Amazing Andrea! Congrats on all of your hard work!

In other news, I talked to Mick today, and he's about to become a daddy! Everyone's making babies! Me - no babies. But I AM going to shack up with the boyfriend in October!

Love and Miss you!
