Pulaski Tornados

As some of you have already seen the county I use to teach in was hit very hard with tornados about a week and a half ago.  The damage is unbelievable.  There were so many families that were affected and didn't even have insurance.  Homes were destroyed, power was lost, roofs were taken off homes, etc.  Its incredible that something like this could happen in good ol' southern VA.  If you have the means consider making a small donation:

A big THANK YOU to my fellow co-workers for their donations already :)

Lynchburg College Relay For Life- St. Baldrick's

This past friday Lynchburg College had their Relay for Life.  One of our great friends Christi raised tons of money toward cancer research and even agreed to have her head shaved to create awareness/support for children with cancer.  I admire her for making such a big decision and she sure does pull off the look! She looks amazing! 

I also want to give a shout out to all of the LC DPT program because they were the

 #1 fundraising team for this event!  These people are so great and have so much compassion for others. I'm so glad Luke is a part of this class!

In a few weeks I have my own Relay for Life.  I will be walking with my co-workers.  If you haven't been to an event its a great night.  Your team sets up a "booth" where you can sell things for Relay (all proceeds go to cancer research), hang out with friends , chat , relax , take cat naps , etc.  You need the cat naps because the event lasts until the next morning.  During the event you make sure that at least a few of your team members are walking at all times.  

There are Relay for Life Events all over the U.S. so get those walking shoes on and get out and support the fight against cancer!

Shopping Trip to Williamsburg!

If you've never been, Williamsburg has some really great outlets!  Tanger Prime Outlets are perfect if you love shopping and finding good deals.  My mom and I went on this trip to celebrate my birthday! The shopping there is great but, get there early because parking fills up!  We also stayed at a great hotel, Hampton Inn.  They offered a free continental breakfast that had hot waffles, eggs, bacon, muffins, bagels, juice, cereal, etc. ; quite a spread! 

We also had dinner at my new favorite restaurant Carrabba's! This restaurant was sooo good! It is an Italian restaurant that I would compare to Olive Garden but is much better!  They have great fresh salads with each meal, homemade bread, and delicious Blackberry Sangria! Yum, I already want to go back! 

Overall, Williamsburg is a great place to spend a weekend! You can shop til' you drop and eat until you can't eat anymore!  Great Weekend!
