Saturday with Jennifer

Happy Saturday, everyone! Sorry I have been MIA for a couple weeks... I really have no good excuse. Things with our team are very busy this weekend. Tomorrow we are doing our fundraiser, Tailgate for Tatas, at the Oconee County High School. For anyone who lives nearby and would like to come help support us, it will be from 4pm-8pm. It is family-friendly, so bring the kids! We are going to have $6 hot dog plates, and that includes a hot dog, a root beer float, watermelon, potato salad, and baked beans. We are going to have face painting and inflatable bouncers for the kids, and there will also be a flag football game that anyone is welcome to join. We would love to see lots of people there to help us raise money for this very worthy cause! And I must add that Angela is doing TONS for this fundraiser, so if you see her thank her A LOT for putting it all together. She should definitely get into the party planning business or something :-)

Next weekend Melissa and I are going to a 3 Day Expo in Atlanta. Before the expo, though, we are doing a 10 mile training walk. I'm really excited about it because I bought my first outfit for the walk this week, and I also got a fanny pack (dorky, I know, but it's what they recommend!). I get to try all of it out and see how I like everything (or don't like it). After that we get to see all the things The 3 Day recommends for our walk. I think they have a packing demonstration for those of us camping on the walk, as well as some other neat things, so we'll let you know how that goes next weekend. I probably need to make sure to take my wallet because something tells me I'm going to find tons of stuff I "have to have."

In other news, I have recently found out I am pregnant. When we do the walk I will be 25 weeks. I was worried that I wouldn't be able to do the walk, but my doctor says that as long as things are going well and I stay well-hydrated then there shouldn't be any problems. I'm excited because that gives me even more of an incentive to train.

That's all the news for this week. I will be better about blogging, I promise, and I'll see you all again next Saturday!
