the color purple

ok, so a new look... the color purple? why purple? Well - a little background... first of all... when I was in 7,8 and 9th grade - purple was the color, i went crazy w. purple... my clothes were purple, my jacket was purple... even a few of my teachers commented about it in my yearbook, one teacher Mr. Turski (a whole other post on innapropriate loser - will be forthcoming) wrote "wear more purple"! hahha

Now these days... and pretty much since 10th grade.. i have not liked the color purple... until last year! Last year we joined a Relay for Life Event here in Arizona and it was amazing! The signature color for the RFL is Purple! A new found LOVE for purple has sprouted!

We went to two RFL events last fall, one in Sedona (so gorgeous) and one in Anthem - our hometown both events, while different from each other, were amazing! i know there is a blog post somewhere in my past about it...

So - this fall is Relay season again. Hence the color purple!  We are not only forming teams for both relays, for the Anthem relay, we are chairing committees and partnering to shape the anthem RFL this year! Our entire goal for the whole relay is $100,000. We raised 72k last year!

So we are on mission... and my blog will remain purple until then! more info on relay to come...

I let Hank go w. a friend to another friend's house today... i know the both boys and boths boys' moms... the boys house who they are going to - is such a nice kid (and so is the other friend too..) this is a FIRST for Hank to be independant... and do some things w. out Will.. i know this is a real beginning... this is a bit farther then we have let him go in the past... he has a cell phone w. him... and i gave him strict instructions to be home at 5, which really at this moment gives him like 45 minutes... so - while we still have very strict rules and guidelines of where they go and who with... -we are letting up on the leash every so slightly... testing the waters..

Will is none to happy...  i am sure more seperation will occur and it will be hard for Will.. and he will miss his brother, but they can't be attached at the hip forever right? it is really sad in a way, and cute in a way...
