13 Weeks!

It's FRIDAY!!!! This song has got to be on of the most annoying songs ever but I can almost guarantee that it will be stuck in your head! Listen to it.... you know you want to! :)

And because it's Friday I got that email again today... The countdown at the top says 13 weeks! Wow I can't believe how it's coming so quick!


This week we got a little walk in since it was so nice and so warm outside! We walked about 3 miles which is not a lot but at least we got out and did something right?! 


We also went out on Saturday and collected our cans. I think it went ok... There weren't a lot of houses that put cans out but the ones that did I was surprised with how they but out. One house put out two huge garbage bags of can and many cartons of beer bottles! We returned them earlier this week ans I think our total was about $35... Not to bad for only about a hour of fundraising.


So for the inspiring song of the week... this week I picked If today was your last day by Nickelback. The song is pretty self explanatory but the question is...if today was your last day are you satisfied with what you have done with your life? Live each day like it is your last! Enjoy!

14 Weeks!


Today as I sat down to check my email I got the email I get every Friday, the Virtual Personal Trainer email that gives you tips for training, fundraising, etc. but this week I noticed the countdown at the top of the email and I could not believe it said 14 weeks! I cannot believe that the walk is in just 14 weeks! It made me really think I need to get myself in gear and start training, training, training and fundraising, fundraising, fundraising! Ahh!


Speaking of fundraising last night my mom and I went for a little walk around our neighborhood with flyers for a bottle and can drive. We are going to go around Saturday morning and collect them from everyone’s porches and hopefully we get LOTS of cans! I will keep you updated on how that goes!

We are also having another fundraiser event, a Quarter Mania May 26th in Bellville at the Bellville Mouse... You are probably wondering what exactly a Quarter Mania is right? Well you bid on quality vendor items with 1 to 4 quarters (per paddle) depending on retail value.  Once all quarter bids are placed a randomly chosen number is called.  If the person with that number placed a bid they win the item(s).  Numbers will continue to be drawn until there is a winner.  Pretty simple right?! I think it is going to be so much fun and hopefully it will help out with fundraising a lot!

On another note as I was listening to some music and I came across this song… it’s called I Was Here by Lady Antebellum and I LOVE it! It’s just sums up what I want to do with my life. I want to do something that matters and say something different and that is what this song says. I think this song is so inspiring I thought that every week I should post and inspirational song so this is the first inspirational song!
