Hi ladies!!
So, Relay for Life last night was SO AWESOME!! I thought about you all when I walked, so you gals were there with me, too. I knew it would be amazing, but didn't know I could feel that much pride and..and.., oh shoot I don't know what all - how do you write emotions like that? My Dad came up for it too (4 1/2 yr survivor) and we walked the Survivor Lap together. He even donned the "purple girly shirt" haha. Meant a *lot* to me that he did that with me. And the rest of my whole family showed up, too. My 7 yr old niece even made a huge poster that said, "WE LOVE YOU EMILY" and stood her little bitty self up in the stands and held it up for me the *entire* Survivor Lap. I can't even explain how great it was. I worked in the Luminaries booth, too, the first part of the evening and that was an awesome experience in itself. So many people, so many new friends. Awesome, ladies, just awesome. :) I can't wait till next year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
