Weekend of family, football, and remembering

Last weekend Emory and I went to Lubbock for Race for the Cure and the Tech football game. My family has been doing the Race since my Aunt Janet passed away almost 8 years ago. Janet lost her battle with breast cancer after the 2nd round hit. Janet was such a wonderful and brave woman. She fought hard and always kept a positive attitude. She is truly missed, but we are thankful for the legacy she left behind. This is always such a special time for us to get together and remember her. It was Emory first race so she had to dress the part.

Some of the "racers." Just to clarify, we do the 1 mile "fun run" not the 5K.



We also made it to a Tech football game. It was great and Emory did a great job. I think if it is constantly loud she gets used to the noise and can sleep through it. We made it til the last 5 minutes or so when it started raining. Lots of fun!


It was "Pink Out" Jones Stadium. Very cool to see all the pink in the stands. Here's my parents and Emory and I ate the game. My parents have great seats for their season tickets.
Emory loves her Gramsy.

The Going Band from Raiderland made a breast cancer ribbon during their performance. I am very moved by the support everyone shows for such a great cause.
To all those brave women fighting this fight and all those families who has lost loved ones, my heart goes out to you.
