ND

last year no doubt reunited for a tour to ignite their inspiration to write the new album that they are in the studio recording now. as soon as i heard they were going on tour i knew i was going and i knew i was going with rayanne. she's my fellow gwen and nd lover! being in the financial state we were in i got a scare that i wouldn't make it, but rayanne came to my rescue and for that i am forever grateful! we had sooo much fun!!

#86

floors and walls

#93 and 94 were completed a whopping 9 months ago! yes, in august we had our carpet ripped up, the original hardwoods refinished and we repainted the living room walls. i can't find our before and after pics for some reason, but i do have this picture of dylan with our "focal wall" in the background. our walls were previously an olive green and a light brown. we wanted to lighten the room up since the floors would be exposed instead of ugly tan carpet. so we painted all of the walls a coconut milk color except for the wall with the fireplace. we had our tv hung above the fireplace, painted the brick white, the hearth a dark brown-black and the wall a pumpkin (or Texas Longhorn orange depending on who you ask) color. the floors are absolutely beautiful and we are so pleased with the results. you can kind of see the floors around the new rug here too.

#40-42

i have completed #40, but to complete 41, i need your help! i've registered for the Great Strides walk for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. this year they added a walk here in long beach and it's right down the street from our house. chad will be out of town, but Dylan and i will be there to support the team "Liam's Legacy for Ojaio's Hope". i look forward to the walk every year and last year i was unable to participate. which means the CF Foundation lost money. i know it may not have been a lot, but any amount i can raise makes a difference. so please help me raise some money for the walk this year. my goal is $500. i've beat it before and i hope to do it again. so spread the word and send this link to anyone you know. i know everyone's going through financially difficult times, i know we are, but that doesn't mean we should put important research aside. CFF has come along way in helping my niece Ojaio extend her life. they are closer than ever to finding a cure and they are constantly finding new treatments. thank you in advance for your help.
