I have two more friends committed for the Ogden Half in May, thanks Amanda and Natalie (no pressure)! That makes 9! I am so excited to have so many people already on the team. I am dreaming up a design for pink shirts that we can wear. If you are still sitting on the fence, GET REGISTERED!! http://www.getoutandlive.org/ You really can do it, and you can walk it if you want/need to. : ) This is something I've already posted, but it is a great article and the reason why I am harrassing all my friends and family about doing this race with me. This articulates very well why I want to have a huge team--to show support for breast cancer survivors everywhere!

Today's been a funny day. I was struggling this morning, which meant Brooklyn was too. I was trying to get her ready for swimming lessons, the baby was crying, Brooklyn started crying, I started crying. We managed to get to swimming and she was OK after that. I found an empty hallway upstairs and called Mat during her lesson. He has a way of making everything OK again. He told me that I'd done remarkably well holding it together in front of the kids through all of this and said it is OK to lose it every once in a while. It just helped to talk to him and gain strength from him.
There are a handful of people that haven't heard that surgery was changed from tomorrow to the 14th, so I've had some phone calls today. It's been crazy the last couple of days and I just couldn't get to everyone. I'm sorry to give you a little longer to worry about me! I feel confident that I will come through all of this just fine, especially with love and support from all of you. THANKS for your continued thoughts and prayers! We/I can feel the difference it is making in our lives.

KIm, I'm sorry that I sometimes seem absent on here--my internet goes in and out at the whims of the government, but please know we are praying for you every single day (except today when Simon accidentally called you Cade . . . oh well) and you are constantly in my thoughts.
I would totally run the half-marathon if I were there. (It's safe to say that from here, right? :)
I love you!
I'd walk if I knew someone is going to walk with me. Running is not ny cup of tea. I might run half way to the bus stop, walking in between, but that's it.
Karin, there is one person walking the entire thing. Her name is Marissa, she's a friend of my sister. I don't know her but I'm sure it would be OK. You think about it, it would be awesome to have you, walking OR running!
Livi,
Livi,
You could totally fly in for it, come on! Beijing isn't that far away!!! Oh well, I wish you could. Talk to Matthew, tell him it's important, and maybe he'll say yes?? Ok, maybe not.
Anyway, I am grateful for prayers, no matter what the kids call me! Heavenly Father knows. : ) Love you too, can't wait to see you next time you come.
Kim,
I've been keeping you in my prayers! I think you are amazing! You have such a wonderful family, and sounds like an amazing supportive husband. You make me want to be a better person :) Hang in there, we are all rooting for you, and things will be good!

I am not committing to running the whole thing - or maybe not even very much, but I am excited to do it, no matter where I am in the finishing. Someone will need a walking buddy - it's a great way to meet people.
Kim, I rarely watch the news and happened to catch that particular news segment. It totally inspired me! I'm so grateful that my sister already had me in the mindset that "Hey, why not do a 1/2 marathon?" Since its not on my to do list, it's crazy how it has come to the forefront all of a sudden. It will be an experience for all of us!
Love ya,
Colleen
