What's New

Every time I sit down to write on the blog, I get sidetracked, sorry! Lately I have been focusing on work as I have an important piece of legislation moving through the House right now. I am really enjoying my new position but can see how so many people burn out after so many years. Travis as always has taken up the extra work load with the kids to help me out and it couldn't be more appreciated.

The Heritage was AMAZING last weekend! Travis and I had the best time and really lived it up. We missed the children immensely but really need the "us" time and made the most of it. In fact, we are going on Saturday for another night away. Two weekends in a row, can you believe it?! I won 2 tickets to Cirque Du Soleil in Charleston and a hotel stay. I hear the show is really cool so I can't wait. This time Lily and Charlie will be staying with Nana and I'm not sure who is more excited.

Last and certainly not least, I am asking for prayers for my sister-in-law, Emily and her family. Her mother is in ICU at Providence in very serious condition. I know that the power of prayer is unmeasurable and they all need unmeasurable support right now.

The Heritage

Travis and I are leaving tomorrow for Hilton Head to go to the Heritage golf tournament. This is our first vacation as a couple since Charlie was born. We are so excited and I know we are going to have an amazing time. We have fabulous accommodations and sky box seats at the tournament. I am even getting a massage! I feel like it's my honeymoon. Lily and Charlie will be with Travis' parents and while I am so looking forward to the trip, the thought of leaving them for 3 nights puts a huge lump in my throat.

I'll post pictures from the trip and ones from Easter next week! Till then....

Relay for Life

I am walking on May 15th in the American Cancer Society Relay for Life. I am doing it in Pam Mosier's name, a friend and survivor. I got involved through my women's group at church and it has been an amazing experience already. My goal is to personally raise $1000.00 and to date I have raised $685.00!
