First Day of Spring

Happy Spring??

Well, last week on Wednesday, temperatures in Philadelphia hit 68 degrees. 48 hours later, we got 4 inches of sleet and 2 inches of snow... they're not kidding when they say March comes in like a lion!

Poor Kate and Paul drove through all that mess to come and visit us! A 4 hour trip on a good day took over 8 hours! We're lucky they didn't turn around after the first 2 hours! To top it all off, our "fun" weekend included activities like "shovel the driveway" and "scrape off the cars". Some friends WE are. We joked around that we were actually taping a new reality show "How much do you love your friends?" Paul and Kate won first prize-- lunch at the Cheesecake Factory!

The snow meant that missing practice on Sunday morning was no big deal. It was cancelled because the trails at Valley Forge weren't cleared off. We'll get back on track with practice this week.

I am beginning to panic a bit about fundraising, if I am being honest in this blog. The prospect of raising this much money, regardless of what an important cause it is for, is really daunting. We know we will be able to do it, but I sometimes wonder what will be harder-- training to walk 13 and 26 miles or raising $9000 to do so? Thank you to everyone that has contributed-- we so appreciate your support!

My brother and sister-in-law are in Australia for the month. I am jealous of their blog! It's much cooler than this one. I need to take blogging lessons from Brent! Though, by the time we get around to that, the marathon might be over, and I will have nothing to blog about anymore! I'll try to remember to take our camera with us to practice this weekend so we have something a little more exciting than written blogs to publish! Thanks for checking in on us!
