Green Ribbon!

It was a HUGE success! We had about 85 friends and family out to help us make the "living green ribbon" to help raise organ/tissue donation awareness! It was awesome...

Thanks soooooo much to all who came out, to the fire fighters who lent us the truck and the space and to Perry the awesome photographer!! Lisa and P are amazing...pictures speak better than words...

The "Fun Run and Walk" is April 19th, so come out again and join us on our trek to raise awareness!!

GIVE THE GIFT OF LIFE

Live Green Ribbon

April 5th 2009 ~ Our family is putting on a "living green ribbon" ...any one who wants to come out and be a part of it is more than welcome just let me know and i can fill you in on the details. We will all be wearing green and will take a picture of people in the shape of a green ribbon from the fire truck...
It is to increase awareness of the importance of signing your donor card becuase it CAN and it DOES save lives. Thanks to a donor, my dad had a successful kidney transplant 19 yrs ago! His kidneys are once again failing anf once again we are waiting for a transplant...
Sign those cards...

December...

Glad it's finally here...Holidays!! Yay! Finals all went pretty well but I am definetly glad they are over! For the holidays we are sticking pretty close to home. Each evening we have some sort of supper happening with different family groups so it will be really nice to spend some time with the relatives!! I was hoping to go snowboarding for a day out to table or wapiti, but if this weather keeps up I don't think it woyuld be much fun soooo I am re-thinking that idea. A plus side to this weather is we have SNOW!!!! So happy it finally came, for a little while we were wondering if it would ever come.

Dad celebrated his 19th "kidney" anniversary on the 12th of Dec. but started dialysis last week and is feeling pretty good...definitley feeling thankful for the advances in technology since 19 years ago.

So this holiday I am going to hole myself up for a good couple days and paint my room. It is changing from pink and orange to brown and green. I have been wanting to do this for a while and now I actually have time!! I am very excited! I have some Before Pictures....My sister Lisa painted it when I was 12 and it is actually amazing but i am feeling the need for something a little calmer and I'm sure you'll see why....it's crazy but fun!!! Was awesome for the teen years!
AND yes it is really messy but really, there is not point in cleaning it right now b/c it is just going to get way more messy in these next couple weeks so it would just be a waste of time....and there is stuff already pushed into the middle of the floor...thats my excuse..I am really not this big of a pig....usually
my desk and school stuff...ugh

great wall of color and sparkles

yes that is a chair if stuffed animals in the corner...it's hard to part with childhood friends....but they will be moving out... sadly

a Panoramic..

November

With November came papers. This past month all my term papers and most of my essay were due. So it is a relief that it is december except for the fact that finals are next week.

Weather is still beautiful!! I hear that by wednesday it is supposed to go down to -2o so that will suck but hopefully it will come with snow!!!!

Can't wait for the break... going to paint my room and hopefully get a lot of Lisa n Shauns wedding present done! haven't had a lot of time to do anything so far so hopefully......

I think we are planning on sticking around home for the break, mom and dad just got home from weekend in calgary/Jasper....dad had some tests in calgary so when those were done they took the scenic route through jasper to come home...not out of the way at all ;)

Special meetings are on the 21 so plan is to go to those ones! mom and dad may go to nipawin for them this weekend!

So thats really all that has been going on here!

Hope all is well!
