Thankful

So I'm a little late on posting this but here is what I'm thankful for.


  1. all the common things in life that people are thankful for
  2. My friends for making life so great
  3. my hair for being so awsome
  4. there are many things i'm thankful for but the thing i'm most thankful for is my health 
As many of you know me and my friend Ashley run a non profit organization "Country Fans 4 a CURE" ("like" us on facebook if you haven't already) to raise awarness about childhood cancer. It's something that we both love to do and we hope that one day there will be a cure for cancer but all we can do right now is raise awarness for it and to donate to childhood cancer research. Here are some facts about childhood cancer...

  • Each day about 46 kids are dignosed with cancer
  • About 7 kids a day die from cancer making that about 2,500 kids dying from cancer a year(it did say day before but that was cause i was half asleep when i wrote this)!
  • Cancer remains the number one disease killer of children; more than genetic anomalies, cystic fibrosis, and AIDS combined.
  • On the average, 1 in every 4 elementary school has a child with cancer. The average high school has two students who are a current or former cancer patient.
There is many diffrent kinds of Childhood Cancer to name a few...

  • Neuroblastoma
  • Rhabdomyosarcoma
  • Mesothelioma
Ashley and I probley wouldn't be doing what we do if it were not for two very special little girls who really touched us. We never really personally knew them but we feel like we knew them. The two girls are Layla Grace (Layla Grace Foundation) and Ellie Potvin (Life Up Foundation Inc) I'm very thankful that we both found out about these two special girls and that they have touched us in many ways. There are many other kids who have also touched us and I'm very thankful of that. They have inspired us to go into photography and to mainly specialize on children is what we want to do. I'm thankful for that. 

I'm thankful for all that has happened in the past year. Thank you everyone.

And if you could please when you get the chance go and purchase the song "Hey Ellie" by Dusty Hughes. It was written for a little girl named Ellie who got her wings this year after a long battle with Rhabdomyosarcoma (cancer). The song is only .99 on itunes and 100% of the proceeds will go to the "Lift Up" Foundation Inc.


I'm listing to this song as I write this and all I got to say is it's worth it not only because it's good but cause it goes to a good cause. 

Much love.

Helloooo Worllldddd

So I'm feeling pretty awsome...

I went to take a nap last night and well lets say what was suppose to be a 20 minute nap turned into an over 8 hour nap. Pretty awsome I know!

So I feel like i haven't blogged in like FOREVER!!!!!
and I really have no idea what to say. oh well.

Oh yah so my shoulder has been hurting alot latly...idk if u know or not but over a year ago (oct 11, 2009) i was laying on my bed (i had a bunk bed at the time and I was laying on the bottom bunk) and out of nowhere the top bunk fell down and landed on my shoulder. We think that it fell because the ppl who put it togehter for us didn't tighten the bolts all the way. But i don't have to worry about that bed anymore cause we got rid of it and I got a new white metal framed bed :) that i LOVE :) besides the fact that it makes noise when I move on it but oh well it's not a wooden bed! So yah. that's all i guess?

peace homies!
