This opportunity to serve as an ambassador for LLS has shown me how special all of you have been through my journey and beyond.  I had a pretty amazing experience while some don't get the opportunity to LIVE through this awful disease!!  I want to make a difference here!

This is my first mass mailing for LLS as their Advocacy Ambassador.  I'm pretty proud of myself.  Let the donations start rolling in.......

Megan and FFA

I Megan has found something she really enjoys-being apart of FFA (future farmers of America).  She is taking a class in high school called Ag Communications.  It's sort of like a speech class.   She spent time at the Kern County Fair this year getting to know the ins and outs of showing a pig.   She wants to raise an animal, show it at the fair next year and sell it.

Here are pictures of Megan at the fair with her best friend. Olivia's pig.  

She also earned her "green hand" award this week in FFA.  They made all the kids that were earning the award, dip their hands in green paint and put it on the poster to show off at the FFA award meeting the same night.

Tasha's First Job

Tasha went on her first job interview this past week and got herself her first job with a paycheck.  She will be working at Johnny Rockets at the Marketplace.  It is a burger place with a 50's like theme.  Her first night of work was a 3 hour shift on Friday night.   When it was over, she was so excited!  She said she was on her feet all night.  She is really excited to go back.  We are so proud of her!

Here is Tasha in her uniform minus the apron!
