Now walk it out....

Yeah, you read that right. On October 14th I will be exactly 28 weeks and 1 day preggo and I will be walking to raise money for student athlete scholarships. (My other option was to golf and if you've ever seen me swing a club without a baby bump in my way you wouldn't want to be anywhere near me swinging a club with a 28 week belly to add to my mad golf skills!)

I'm not a student athlete, and never was, nor do I work in the athletic department. So why am I participating you ask?

I'm doing it because I believe the student athletes at Western Oregon University deserve the best opportunity to be successful both in the classroom and on the field. These kids take a full course load, travel for games during season, spend countless hours practicing in season and during the off season and most have at least one part-time job all while maintaining a higher overall GPA than the non-athlete attending WOU.

I'm doing it because Daniel and I love Western Oregon University and the kiddos that attend there.

I'm doing it because our coaches find a way to win even though we play with far fewer scholarships than many other schools in our conference.

I'm doing it because I hope that if my little girl is good enough to play a sport in college that there will be people to willing support her dreams and her school.

I'm doing it because no gift is too small- a lot of little gifts can make a huge difference!

My goal is to raise $1,500 for scholarships I started my mission out by throwing $50 in and have had some folks help get me on my way but I still have a long way to go!

The day has come.....

GAME DAY!!!

For those of you who know me- you know I eat, sleep, and breathe Baylor. For those of you who don't, well consider yourself warned! :) It's in my hometown, it's my Alma mater, it's part of who I am. Since the formation of the Big 12 (now minus 2) Baylor has always been at the bottom of the pack when it came to football. I'm a football fanatic and even more so a Baylor fanatic so naturally I went to all the games.

I showed up.

I yelled my head off. (sometimes in frustration!)

I stayed til the end regardless of the score.

There were many times it was beyond painful to watch, but I stayed. I cheered. I started every season thinking "This is the year.....we're going bowling." only to watch us take insane beatings courtesy of football powerhouses like OU, Texas, Nebraska.....basically half the conference.

But today as I head to Houston, TX it's finally true....THIS IS THE YEAR. WE'RE GOING BOWLING.

I've literally spent half my life waiting to say that. So, have a wonderful Wednesday and if you're flipping channels and tune in to the Texas Bowl....look for the crazy blonde screaming her head off and possibly crying tears of joy....that'll be me.

SIC 'EM BEARS!!
