We gave Lexi this purse and hat. She had seen it at Shopko and couldn't stop talking about it.

Relay for Life...

This weekend the kids and I were asked by my friend Deanna to join Team Asenbrenner Insurance in their annual Relay For Life Walk held in Shawano. It was a great experience and we hope to make it an annual event. It was hard not to become emotional at this event after losing mom 7 months ago and also for those survivors out there walking with some battling cancer right now during the survivor's lap. Quite a few of my close friends from Leopolis joined in and a few of my "Leopolis Moms" were there as well. All of us have been affected by cancer by a friend or family member.

The kids and I wore shirts that my sister gave me for my birthday. My shirt said, "Every Day I Miss My Mom", Lexi's said, "Fighting the Cure for My Grandma" and Will's shirt said, "My Grandma was so brave God made her an Angel" and at the bottom each asked to support lung cancer awareness.

Team Asenbrenner

Lexi and Will made posters in remembrance of mom.

I was walking in memory of mom, Mary Otto, Billy Zimdars, Sally Schwersenska and Allen Steinke. I was also walking for Reed Luepke (below) and Chris Stezenski who were walking in the survivor lap. Reed and his mom Lori walking the survivor lap. Chris (left) and her daughter Lori (right) Mom's former employer also has an annual team that does the walk. This year they were doing it in memory of mom. Thanks ladies..that was so nice. They put together a picture board... and even had a Christmas tree (mom's favorite holiday) on their table.My sister Heather and Lexi...
