Relay Wrap Up

Hello everyone!!

As you all know last Friday night was Relay for Life here on campus. There were a couple snafoos but other than that everything ran smoothly. So far my team has raised $1939!!!!! I am sooo proud of my team and thank you to all of you who were thinking about us on Friday.

I actually stayed awake all night and beyond because we had to take care of some things before we could sleep Saturday morning. Once I went to sleep I could not wake up...I slept 24 hours out of 26. It was nice but I am still exhausted!!!

On to some pictures for you all,

This is Uncle Russ' frog after making numerous trips around the track he acquired a lei.

The line of cars waiting to get into the minidome.

Emily driving the van...well waiting in line to get in.Jillian in the van with all the stuff behind her.

Right after the survivor lap was the virtual survivor lap where people were able to take a lap for someone currently battling cancer who was unable to be in attendance that night for whatever reason. Jillian and Marc took this lap for people they know.

Some of the people from my team walking around the track. Amanda is carrying Uncle Russ's frog.

The next few pictures are of the luminaria I bought and decorated.
The first is mine for Uncle Russ. It says "I miss you Uncle Russ...Love Elizabeth." Attached is a picture of him with me when I was little and a penny. If you dont know the story of the penny read this blog that I wrote in September.

This is the one from Nanny and Pa that I decorated. It says, "In memory of Russell Blaylock Love, Mom and Dad." The picture is of Uncle Russell and Warren. It is the last picture we have of Uncle Russ. Also attached to this is a penny.This is the bag I did for grandma, it says, "In loving memory of Grandma. With Love, Elizabeth" This is a picture of her holding a box of instant potatoes that we gave her for Christmas one year after an ordeal at Thanksgiving with the instant potatoes.

I will have another post up sometime about the last few weeks of my first year of college!
