So today was THE day of the 2nd Annual Ruth Harbor Walk for Life. And what a GREAT day it was!!! We had about a dozen Jordan Creekers, plus kids, there to walk. And thanks to Angela's idea to do t-shirts, Ryan Rogness' graphics, and Aunt Cindy's hook-up for custom iron-ons, we were sportin' great tee's, too! We had a double stroller (LOVE IT!!!), the May family brought a cool wagon (kids loved it!!!) and a few Dads had kids on their shoulders. It was just fun.
But the BEST news...before all the sponsor sheets were even tallied, this year's walk has out-done last year's walk. REALLY love that!!! In the past week or so, the girls and I have toured the neighborhood asking for sponsors for the walk. We went to one house, and the husband said that he would sponsor us, but did not give an amount. So, knowing that his favorite cake is a HOMEMADE Angel Food Cake, I asked him how much it would be worth for a charitable donation. He laughed and said that I drove a hard bargain. (Lots of retail sales experience:) He said that I needed to name my price, and he would decide if it was acceptable. So I said that $50.00 would be great, but that if he thought my cake was totally worth it, then $100.00! And he replied with, "well, how about $250.00". YOWZA!!! So thank you Grandma Byers for passing down your 13 egg white cake recipe. It is all going for an amazing causeY
Mark and I were also able to meet the new house parents, as well as 2 of the young women living at RH. It was really a rewarding experience, and a GREAT way to spend time together as a family.
