Well, our walk is tomorrow! Yay! It is supposed to be a perfect day weather-wise. It's not a grueling walk or anything. You'ld think with a bunch of Crohn's and Colitis patients they would have port-a-potty's every 10 yards, but they don't. Bad planning. Our walk is in the beautiful Sugarhouse Park. Last year they provided fun activities before the walk, and lots of yummy food.

So far our team, "No Guts, Moore Glory" is in 2nd place in the fundraising efforts. Yay team!!! Our yard sale helped a lot. Thanks to everyone who donated items, and everyone who has donated money and came and bought items at the yard sale. You are awesome. All of the money raised goes to helping to find a cure for Crohn's and Colitis, and also supports Camp Oasis, which is a camp for children that have Crohn's or Colitis. It's definitely a devistating disease.

Kristina has designed yet another awesome t-shirt for us. We will be sporting white t-shirts this year with our team name on the front, and the words, This Too Shall Pass, on the back. :) quite appropriate on many levels. The humorous aspect of course, but also the aspect of the many trials this disease has produced in our lives. The trials do pass, and we are always better people, and much stronger afterwards. Our family has grown and strengthened over the past 4+ years since the big surgery goof-up.

Brent is back to work full time again, and actually just got a promotion to Director of Edge Services at BYU. It's a group of computer engineers. Yay Brent! So far, so good. Every day is an adventure in our home. We know all too well that things can go sour so very fast. We are grateful for the good days. So very grateful.

on another unrelated note . . . Kristina was chosen to speak at her graduation for Provo High. She's an amazing writer and speaker. We are proud of her.

Have a great weekend!
