Finally some progress

Well people, I have finally decided to start my blog. I have been putting it off forever cause I have never done one before, but for the sake of those supporting me and the cause as I journey across the country, I thought I would start it to help keep you all updated.

I am still $800 short of meeting my fundraising goal. That's not too bad, however time is running out, so if anyone has any suggestions, please let me know!!!! ALSO, if anyone still wants to donate... it's not too late!!!!!!!!!!!

A couple of things have happened in the past couple of weeks. First off, I did my eights hours of sweat equity and it was AWESOME!!!!!! I am not a professional in putting shingles on a home, so if you need that kind of work done, call me! : ) but really, it was a really amazing experience, it was great to see so many regular, everyday individuals from the community out there helping a family build their home. It's got me even more pumped for this summer!!!!!! wohooOOOoooOOoooO!!!

Second thing, thanks to Joe, I finally biked the longest I have ever biked this past weekend. I did 40 miles. I realize I should have probably already been doing that kind of distance and that many others are well past that, but for me it was a feat and I'm proud to say I have finally done it!!!!!! It took 2 hours and 51 minutes. America here I come!!!!!! I'm ready now. hahahaa. not really, I know we will do a lot more mileage than that on our trip, but it was start and not nearly as bad as I thought it was going to be.
