WOW !!!
This is how I have to start this out. I am still beside myself. I can't believe what we have done this weekend.What a room full of wonderful talented amazing women.I still can't believe what just happened, not that I didn't have faith in all of us but, this was truly amazing that we have this kind of power. You have to be feeling so good about your selves and what you have done. Our hearts are so in the right place.
I couldn't help but look around the room and feel so blessed. I only wished that you could feel what was in my heart because there are no words to describe it because I really don't think I have ever had this feeling in my life.
I tried so hard not to cry but I truly could not hold them back my chest was hurting so bad, I felt out of emotional control.
I want you to know that without each and everyone of you we wouldn't of had the success of this event. Your kindness we will never forget.
When I called our daughter and told her how we were doing she just couldn't believe it, and said give them all a big hug for me.She has been taken back with all of the kindness that has been given to us. She goes mum I am so proud of you, I know how nervous you were about yesterday, I told you everything would be fine.( Hey thats my job to tell her that everything will be fine) I love it when she loves me!!!!:)
All the cards that were made for our canadian heros again another focus that is so very near and dear to my heart. I thank you so very very much .I want to tell you just incase you left before this draw was made. Jill MacDonald won the binder of cards and gave them all to our TROOPS!!!Oh my gosh I am flooding but yet again. Such kindness thankyou so very much Jill. I will tell you ladies I have a son who is not like his Mum he is a tough guy.... has said to me miss MacDonald is one of the best teachers I have ever had. Coming from a son who keeps his feelings inside......well this means Jill you ROCK.
I want to thank you all for making this a day that we will never forget and most of all this event may be the one to ease the pain!!!!!!!
With love ,hugs, tears and one heck of a big thankyou
Holly & Terry

we are wearing the treads off our shoes

Hello everyone,
Just thought I would drop a line to let everyone know how Terry and I are doing in the training dept!
I am now up to a 14 km walk and I am gaining a bit of strength to be able to run a bit, not much mind you but I am getting stronger every day.I am sure if anyone heard me going down the road they would call 911 beacuse I sound like a 1960's jeep on its last legs when I run.
Terry on the other hand is doing much better with the running and may I add the weight is falling off of him much faster than it is me( darn men and their DNA).
It's really hard work for us since this really hasn't been a part of our lives(exercise that is) but, it is part of our daily life now and we look forward to trying to beat our pervious days time.
Thank you so much for the continued support for us, it pushes me down the highway a bit faster and longer when all I want to do is go home and scrap!!!

Hello and what a beautiful day it is today!
I walked 12 km today in 1hour and 50 minutes, this is the longest I have gone and boy
do I ever feel good about it, well my spirit does and you can only guess how sore the rest of me is.!!!
I got a call from Kris soon after I got back ,I told her my news and she said she was so proud of me....it really made stop and think I am the one that always says how proud I am of them, my this is such a life changing event for me. I am so happy to be doing this, what if we change just one life with what we are doing....oh my heart! it thrills me to death.
The days are flying by to our big paper arts a thon, I must say my "dream team" is working so hard to make this an awesome event for all of us. The ideas that are coming out of this crew is amazing, they are truly three of the most kind hearted people .We are all very lucky to have them on our team.

So until next time, there is a magic bag calling my name.
Hugs Holly

What a wonderful day

Hello to all my blogger buddies,

I just couldn't wait to get on line to tell you the great news that we got today.
We have had the fear since March of 2006 that Kristen may have cancer. She has
been for several tests and none of them have come back with any hope except for today!!!!
Her doctor is so positive that he got everything on the last procedure. I just can't believe this
I am busting with so much happiness . I had myself ready for the worst today and it has turned out to be just great. I think it must be all the positive power that you guys are bringing our way.
While we are driving home Kris looks over at me and said thank god you don't have to walk a cancer marathon next year. Oh good lord how lucky we are today
Hugs Holly
