Relay for Life





Okay, it's been a while. I have a lot to update.
A couple of weeks ago we went to Gwinnett County's Relay for Life. Natalie had her first taste of cotton candy while Melanie proceeded to eat A TON of it. Melanie got her face painted and Natalie won prizes pulling ducks out of water. We had a good time being around my co-workers and other people from around Gwinnett County that we've gotten to know over the years. The survivor walk is always a tear jerker. To watch the young people battling cancer and those walking in honor of people that have died of cancer is always so emotional to watch- especially this year since my grandfather passed away from cancer less than a year ago. Another sad story from this year, my boss, who participates in the survivor walk as a 6 year survivor fell later on in the night and broke her arm in mutiple places and ended up having to have surgery. It was a rough way for her to end the night. Melanie kind of understood what the whole "festival" was about and Natalie just really enjoyed the food!
