Everyone's Got A Body, Right?

I always wondered what our bodies were made of, and Dr. Steve Brule shows us in a slightly disturbing but extremely funny way.

Save Second Base!



About a year ago, Vicki and I decided to do the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure. It's probably one of the best things I've done in my life. The race was held again this past Saturday, so Vicki and I decided to do it and to recruit some of our friends, Mandy and Dave.




We even talked Scott and Sean into doing it with their roommates, Brenton and Tyler!





There were so many people there to support the cause, it was great! There were great teams like "Show Your Support" and "Tutus for Tatas"! Our favorite was "Save Second Base"!









It was a great experience to be able to see so many people come together! There were definitely some sad moments. Everytime I saw a sign that said "In Memory Of . . ." it just broke my heart and kinda choked me up a bit.




















But then it was so great to see the happy ones that said "In Celebration Of . . ."!




















Overall, it was one of the best days ever! And not just because of this:












But because we helped make a difference and lifted each others spirits. This was my favorite T-shirt of the day:

Cemetary

So, today I went to the local cemetary with the roommies and Tyler. It was a great way to spend an overcast Sunday afternoon. There were some really great headstones. Some of them were HUGE! I'm not sure what kind of one I would like. Maybe something in the middle. Not too big, not too small, you know? It was kinda sad to see some of them broken. I think it would be cool to know some of their stories. Like what kind of life they led, and maybe how they died. We happened across a couple of sections that were just children and it seemed so sad :( I think that would be a very hard thing to lose a child. Even with the gospel in my life it seems like it would be pretty devastating. There was also a section for servicemen. It was cool to see some from men that fought in the Civil War and the Spanish American War. Overall it was a nice sombering experience.
There were a ton of deer in the cemetary.




I also saw some geese with their little . . . are they called goslings? Or is it just that actor's last name that I'm confusing it with?
