Has it seriously been that long since I blogged? Holy cow!
The MS Walk was a huge success! I met my fundraising goal and our whole team raised a good amount of money for the Multiple Sclerosis Society! Woo Hoo!! We had about 30 people walk in the event… amazing!
This past weekend Jack and I participated as volunteers at the MS 150 Bike Ride, from Frisco to Fort Worth! It was an awesome experience! It’s a two day ride – 86 miles on Saturday, 74 miles on Sunday (yes, that adds up to 160 and not 150!). Jack has his amateur radio license so he was part of the communications team on a support van. I volunteered all over the place! lol Frisco, Texas Motor Speedway, Sundance Square, you name it! I feel like I drove all over the metroplex last weekend. I’m proud to say, though, that I was at the start line and the finish line on both days. It’s so cool to cheer on these riders, I mean they did something amazing riding all that way. Someone made the comment, regarding the route, that these guys rode bicycles to places we won’t drive because it’s “too far!”
We had such an amazing time that we’ve already signed up to volunteer (hopefully as a SAG team this time) at the Valero MS 150 Bike to the Beach from San Antonio to Corpus Christi, AND the BP MS 150 from Houston to Austin in early 2009! Jack wants to shoot for riding in next year’s North Texas MS 150, but we’ll see!
Other than that, we’ve just been staying busy. Hopefully life will be settling down a little bit… or maybe not! I start working part time this week for the Grand Praire AirHogs baseball team doing customer service/information desk during home games. I’m super, super excited about it!
Jack’s doing good. He’s seeing the doc at Baylor every week, and they’ve made good progress on getting his wound closed. They just switched him to a new product this week that is based on honey! Very interesting stuff!
That’s it for now. Hopefully I’ll be blogging again soon!

We’ll see about me riding, huh? You planning on preventing me from doing it?
