As promised I am trying to catch us up....so the next big event for us was the Mother's Day weekend Race for the Cure. We ran this race for the first time when Brayden was just a baby, but since losing my dear Aunt Allison to breast cancer two years ago we try to always save the date and run in honor of her. This year we got to push Carson in the 5K race with us while Grandma Talbot hung out at the finish line with Brayden and Baylor. It was a perfect morning, and with a little encouragement from my brother David in the middle of the race we were able to beat our last time by two minutes! It is always an emotional race for me, and as I near the end I seem to always break down and cry, but I do hope that someday they find a cure for all those many who suffer from this awful disease. Here's to you Aunt Allison for your very long battle with such a great attitude! We miss you and love you still.
I should run in honor of my Aunt Sharlene but I never think about it until it's too late and I see it on the news. Maybe next year you could remind me and I'll sign up and drag Nathan along too.
