Another run down today, but this one was for a GOOD cause.
FARA stands for "Friedreich's Ataxis Research Alliance."
I ran the 5K and Tubbs ran the 1K Bunny Run and I am proud of him for getting out there to support the cause with me.
A few other friends from work and church were there. Its always more fun to be out there with friends and loved ones. Thankfully Luke and the kids were there too to cheer me on!
In July 2009 my friend Joe succumbed this disease and I am thankful I don't have to go through what he and his family are taxed with everyday. They are a blessing to know and to have grown up with and I was honored once again, to participate in this event!

That Stop Wasn't On My Itinerary....
So the Hogue's made it to Florida for our first official family vacation. It was Sawyer's first plane ride....and Simon's first plane ride that he can remember. We were excited....the boys were stoked. We had everything we needed! But it seems that Sawyer packed something with him that wasn't on our checklist: a big case of pneumonia. Yes, the little fella made it almost one whole day in Florida before he started heading downhill fast. Our 2nd day in Orlando we were in the Urgent Care south of Cocoa Beach. (By the way, to see a doctor more quickly, it helps if you vomit all over the waiting room in front of the receptionist. Little tip for ya) After chest x-rays they advised us to head to the ER in Melbourne, where they eventually admitted him to the hospital. So, we had 3 night deluxe accommadations at the Holmes Regional Medical Center. The little whipper snapper was a trooper though! The nurses loved him, thankfully, and made us all feel right at home. We were going to send postcards out with pictures of the hospital since we spent 40% of our trip there...but they didn't have any. Imagine that!Hmmm.....maybe its something they should consider.
