Football Season

Seth and I have been enjoying the Football Season. Lucky for Seth I learned a thing or two about football from my Dad and brothers. And I actually enjoy watching it. We got to go to Provo for the BYU vs UCLA game last weekend. Thanks Dad for the tickets for Seth's birthday. We had a great time! We have also become Boise State fans since moving to Boise and were so excited about their win on Saturday against Oregon.

Boise Arthritis Walk 2008

I am excited to be participating in the Boise 2008 Arthritis Walk on Sept 27th. Although I have known about arthritis my entire life since my grandfather lived with Rheumatoid Arthritis for over 50 years I was still surprised to learn some of the following facts:
  • Arthritis is the most common cause of disability in the United States.
  • There are over 100 forms of arthritis and related disease.
  • Arthritis is expected to increase by 40% in the next two decades.
The walk is an annual event to raise funds and awareness about arthritis. My goal is to raise $150....so I need some help. Anyone who would like to help this worthy cause can go to the following website and donate on-line (or mail in a form). https://www.kintera.org/faf/donorReg/donorPledge.asp?ievent=258487&lis=1&kntae258487=3288F148D4E64228AC54952352262FBA&supId=230866925
