Truffle Crisp

I just sank my teeth into the new 3 Musketeers Truffle Crisp, and my day became exponentially better. Has anyone tried it? Crispy nougat, layered with fluffy truffle, covered in decadent chocolate. Let me tell you, crispy nougat is a great invention. Go get a Truffle Crip now, and make your day better.

P.S. (and forgive me, Aunt Claud, for the delay in this post). The other day, Claudia was encouraged by the radio to "let go, and let God." Claudia thought this was a perfect mantra for our days, and I concur.

Are you here for an inpatient visit?

Brett sent me this photo today with the caption: Question from karmanos check in desk, "are you here for an inpatient visit?" :) Brett, I'm glad your spirits are up. We love you and we'll see you soon. In other family news, Claudia is hoping to spend tomorrow afternoon at school. Pray for a good day. I bet her friends are excited to see her back (even if it's just a half day for now).

You are both an inspiration . Thoughts and prayers!

Relay for Life

Tomorrow is my Relay for Life at the track at Michigan State. I set my original fundraising goal to $100.00 and quickly had to change it to $1,000 because of all of the unexpected donations I received. Tonight, I surpassed my goal. I'm very excited about the whole thing and I'm honored to be a part of such a wonderful cause. Many people donated in support of Brett and in honor of Bonz. Mary Sue and Setas Produce have generously provided us with crates of fruit for our on-site fundraiser. Claudia, Robert, Bubba, and Anthony will all be sporting our team shirts during Relay. The theme this year is "celebrating more birthdays"... my mom and Anthony have already baked the cupcakes. The event is open to anyone who wants to come, whether you're walking the track, running the track, or even just hanging out for the cause (6pm-7am)... bring a friend! Thank you to everyone who donated to our team and I'll be posting pictures after the event.

We love you Brettio!!
