What a week of numbers. So much wonderfulness accomplished. I'm so glad you did the half-marathon. Allie would be so proud! Enjoy that massage, you have definitely deserved it!
Wow! I'm tired after reading that! Glad it was a successful week :)
Sounds like a very busy and successful week. Congrats on raising so much money! Try and enjoy some rest!
You are one busy lady!! Congrats on the success of Heroes for Handbags! How awesome about the half marathon as well!
I wanted to thank you... I've been following your story since Allie got sick (my Ethan is just 13 days younger) and through your blog found Debbie's. I also have twins the same age as hers. I was so privelaged to meet her, Brandon and their adorable babies this past weekend!! I was visiting my good friend Austin who knows you. She & Dominic were in your/Maggie's Gymboree class. What a small world! At any rate, Debbie was wonderful as I knew she would be! We're heading back to Dallas in June with the entire family... hopefully we'll get to see them again and maybe meet you and Maggie as well!
You are one busy and one amazing girl! A huge congratulations goes out to Heroes for Children for hosting two successful events! AWESOME!
Wonderful!!
Congratulations on all of it (except the iphone)! You are such an inspiration for all your work with HFC and TNT!!!
Congrats on all of that!!! Wow you are amazing lady.
Jenny, you still amaze me after almost 5 years. Everything you do to honor Allie, your devotion to your family, and the amazing things HFC has accomplished? It's outstanding.
INCREDIBLE Jenny!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!
Sounds like a busy, but gratifying week (minus the loss of the phone and pics...ugh on that!) Have fun with the massage and take it easy for a couple days - you deserve it! :)
When I think about all the families that you'll be able to help it brings tears to my eyes. You totally rock Jenny!!
