Finally, finally, finally...I put up some new photos as promised. Things have been so hectic that time just seems to get away from me. Chase made it home from his mission trip a few weeks ago and I swear that I may only see him for 5 minutes out of each day if I am lucky. Between work and hanging out with his friends, he's never home. Tonight he's bowling with one of the guys he met on the mission trip. He will be leaving the nest real soon so we may as well get used to the idea of him not being around. Right?? We even breezed past his anniversary without so much as a glance at the date - July 8. The day of diagnosis. I didn't even think about the date until now when I sat down to start typing. I wonder if it's a good thing that we didn't notice the date? We have some exciting news for our area. Many of you have probably seen or heard of the show "Extreme Home Makeover". A family in our area will be receiving one of these homes starting on July 24th when they announce who the lucky family is. I have volunteered to be on the set while they are building this house as an EMT for a few shifts and Chuck and I plus a couple of friends have signed up to work on the house in whatever capacity that they could utilize us. I can't tell you how excited that I am to get the opportunity to work on a project such as this. To be able to witness first hand how they put this project together in just 7 days is astounding. I am hoping that I will be able to get over to the spectator area and get some great photos to share with everyone. This Saturday, the 19th, I am hosting a Pampered Chef fundraiser at our house to raise money for Walk with GRACE (Greater Richland Area Cancer Elimination) If you recall, Chase was one of their Ambassadors last year and 40% of all money that is raised is given to local cancer patients to help with medical bills, gas or food vouchers, pay rent, electricity...whatever they may need help with. Last year over $190,000 was raised which means over $76,000 went to help cancer patients and their families. That is just amazing! www.pamperedchef.biz/shelleyp Here is the link to the website for Pampered Chef if you would like to place an order. All products have a minimum of a one year warranty, several products have warranties of 3 years, 5 years and some even a lifetime. Type in Tami Hendrickson as the host and your order will be part of the fundraiser and the products will be shipped directly to your door. How easy is that? Orders need to be placed by July 24th. Thanks for your support. It is truly appreciated by everyone. Tami
