Thank you!

A huge thank you to everyone for both your financial and emotional support as I (and Hubby) geared up for today's Memory Walk.

We doubled our original goal and quadrupled the amount from the first time we walked, raising $823 this year. WOW.

To say we're pleased is an understatement, but we're not stopping there. It's our hope that we can grow our team next year and raise even more money. We'd also like to encourage you to take a moment and let Congress know that you support increased research funding of Alzheimer's programs. Again, thank you.

Another thank you is in order for helping me to reach a bloggy milestone: 100 posts and 25 followers. What started out as just "something to try" has turned out to be a passion, and that's largely thanks to all the friendships I've made in the blogosphere. So as a surprise thank you, I'd like to reward the first commenter on today's post with a little goodie. ☺ (And speaking of goodies: Jenny & Kristen- your blogoversary gifts are on their way; Teena- please email your address to me.)

Oh, and one more thing... GO GATORS!
