We arrived in T-town for the Race for the Cure tomorrow. Before we begin I just wanted to brag on so many people who have already made this such a special weekend. I'd like to thank everyone who signed up for Jenna's team, donated money in any way, and honestly everyone who is participating in the Race tomorrow whether you know Jenna or not. I'd like to thank Molly Beth and Dianne and I'm sure countless others for organizing Jenna's Mother Hens and Friends. The team T-shirts are awesome and everything from the coordination to the brunch in Jenna's honor tomorrow is above and beyond anything we could have imagined.
I'd also like to take a minute to truly brag on my mother. She has loved Jenna since the moment they met and it really shows today. She didn't have to love Jenna because I can truly testify she hasn't always approved of girls I was dating. With Jenna things were different. I don't know if they just had a natural click or if she saw how much I loved Jenna and she couldn't help but feel the same way. I'm not sure how it happened but I know she loves Jenna like a daughter. I'll share the proof with you. A couple of weeks ago Mom read my post on why I was traveling to Texarkana and she said it put her on a mission. She wanted to make a difference for someone else's Jenna. She started going around the chemical plant she works at and asked everyone she knew for $5. If they didn't have $5 she took whatever they could give her. She even has several donations for $3 on her page. She was persistent and she got dozens of donations. I'm so proud of her crusade because she ended up raising over $529 for the Komen Foundation to have the 2nd highest online total before the race tomorrow. I'm proud of her for so many reasons and in so many ways but I'm proud because I know she truly loves my wife and means so much to my family. Thanks Mom!
Hopefully by tomorrow night I'll be able to post some pictures and give details for everyone who can't be here.
