Fight Like A Kid wrap up

Yesterday's benefit car show for 7 year old Logan went off without a hitch. We had beautiful weather, a great turn-out, and over $2,000 went to help his family with his medical expenses. I'm so proud to see our community pull together to help others. It makes me proud to say I'm from here!


I'm even prouder to say that our '67 Camaro won 2nd place! The voting actually consisted of the amount of donations that each car earned. It you liked a car, you voted for it by dropping your donation into the bucket in front of it. The car with the most money won. 


Unfortunately, the only picture I have of our car was taken on my iPhone. I brought my camera, but was too busy taking pictures of everything else and completely forgot about our car. How crazy is that?!









 {OK, I told a story. Part of our Camaro is in a picture! LOL}

Makeover! :)

The extremely talented Danielle, formerly known as The Design Girl, worked her magic yet again! I love the fresh new look -- it makes me smile everytime I see it. :) Danielle is so easy to work with. Her work is amazing and her prices are very reasonable. Her waiting list is currently open so do yourself a huge favor and go see her about your own blog makeover!

I am super excited about working with Danielle on some of Dahkilah's ads this spring. I can't wait to start working on them with her!

I just read on Twitter that Kelly from Kelly's Korner Blog had her sweet little girl, Hollis. She is absolutely beautiful. Congrats Scott, Kelly, and Harper!

"Fight Like a Kid" benefit car show

My cousin's wife is co-organizing a benefit car show for a sweet, 7 year old boy who was recently diagnosed with leukemia. 

Several family members and close friends have fought cancer over the years so it's a cause that is very close to my heart. I was honored when Rachel asked me to to photograph the event and put together a memory book for Logan.  We're also going to bring our '67 Camaro to the show, too -- even though it's more race car than show car.  :)

If you're close by,  please come on out and show your support!

Weekend Wrap-Up

I just want to go on record as saying I LOVE having an extra hour of daylight. I feel like I have more time to get everything done in the evening. :)

Brett and I went to Rhapsody to see Dahkilah yesterday. He's doing better than I even imagined and has really settled in. He's the happiest that I've seen him and I feel good about having him there. We timed it just right and were able to watch one of his schooling sessions. The apprentice trainer that is working him is only 15, but he does a fantastic job. :) Dahkilah will get some new shoes tomorrow, his teeth done Wednesday, and should start in long-lines by the following week. I can't wait to share his future progress reports!


Today was a catch-up day for the past few weeks. I was able to get some major housework done, my office is spotless, and I'm almost caught up on editing photos. It's been so nice to get everything out of the way before the new work week!
