I have a little to catch up on but I have some time right now to do it. I guess the last week stress caught up with me. I am home sick. YUK!!
My boys are doing good. We decided to call them Buster and Billy. I thought Billy and Sue would be good cause everyone thinks that Buster is a girl. "he whines a lot and wants to be held most of the time". They are getting big now. To big for the play pen so pray for sun.
We finally did our 5K. Not very many people showed up but people were very generous. Thank you so much to family and friends that came out to run. Not sure I would get up at 5 am and drive an hour and pay to run, so thank you so much!

The club memebers came and helped out tons along with Desi. She is amazing.
Jamal Tongo came in first place (not a shocker) he's the one in the yellow shorts and gray-blue hoody. He did it in 10 minutes. He is an amazing kid. KSL did a feature on him last year. If you ever have a minute you should look it up. He has an amazing story and wants to become a Doctor.

Bishop came in 2nd. Good job Bishop!

After the run we had a few things that we raffled off. We felt like the people that were there were the people that have helped out the Sullivans the most and we wanted to reward them in some way. (and I won't tell you that it wasn't a true 5K. I learned alot through this project)
All in all it turned out very good. Even though we had no bathrooms. Long story.

Now for the up-date on the transplant and my stress. Yesterday the 11th was a very trying day. Evva had her Echo. Thank goodness that everything looked good. YEAH!!!! I stress every year about her. I told her to take a pretty picture for them and she did. Good job Evva. I had found a lump and went in for an ultra-sound to find out it's just a sist. YEAH!!!! Brandan went in for his transplant to find out the his sisters kidney was not healthy enough to use. Not sure of all the details but that means he is back on the list for a kidney. My heart goes out to the Sullivans. I know that it's a good thing they found it before the transplant (thank goodness) I was just waiting to hear that Brandan and Amber had a new chance on life.

I will keep praying that a kidney will come along very soon. I think he is 0- blood. Very rare. I am very thankful that they found it before. It could have been so much worse. We will keep raising money and putting it in his account for when that time comes. Maybe that's why it didn't go through....I didn't make the money that I had thought. jk...
Kimmy is still taking the family pictures this Saturday in Magna for anyone still interested. $20 will get you a free 8X10 and the CD with all photo copy rights. All the money will go to Brandan's family. Thanks Kimmy!!

You know we still have such good people here. Thank you to all that have helped in any way!!
