I am walking the Breast Cancer 3-Day again this year in Boston. I have to raise a minimum of $2300 but I have a personal fundraising goal of $3000. Currently, I have raised $760 and while I have 3 months to go, the sooner I hit my minimum/goal, the better!
I normally hate asking for money and I know the economy isn't the greatest, but whatever you can afford to donate will be greatly appreciated! Please consider making a donation to this great cause!
Go HERE to donate now!!
Thank you so much!

play ball!
spring is officially here - Mr T and I went to our first Red Sox game of the season yesterday. They played awful (lost 7-1) and it was cool and kind of rainy, but we love Fenway just the same. Honestly, one of my favorite places on this earth.
I took the opportunity to test out my new camera and new zoom lens.
This is the un-zoomed view from our seats:
And zooooooom:
I found this awesome wall near the bathroom:
And how can you not love the Green Monster:
Jonah Hill threw out the first pitch:
We have tickets to a few more games this year, hopefully it will be sunny and warm and they won't lose like they did yesterday!
