Reason 9 million why the house hasn't been getting much love lately...

Last weekend we made some new friends and participated in the Walk for Diabetes with Aaron's former coworker, Tom, and his wife Smitha. Last week, we hadn't raised much money for the walk, so Tom had the idea of getting people at Aaron's former workplace to pay $2/pound for Aaron to carry a backpack during the walk. Before we knew it, the backpack's weight got up to 100 pounds!!!!!!! Fortunately, we have plenty of construction materials at the house, and we had 100 pounds of mortar and sand to fill up a backpack.


After walking 3 mi with 100 pounds on his back, Aaron came home and hung trim on the house for 2 hours. He's my hero!!!!!!!! (Yes, that's me with the hair in my face.)
