Just a short post for today- J has an afternoon game today, and I still have to run to the store for a couple things for dinner, have lunch, shower, and get out the door, in the next 2 hours.
We are very excited because we get to watch our college football team from home on ESPN America tonight. We have yet to see a game on tv all season, and the fact that it is a) on here b) not on in the middle of the night and c) J has an afternoon game so we will actually be home in time to watch it, is pretty exciting for us. The stars must all be aligned today.
On another note, I came across this story that touched my heart the other day. This sweet 5 year old boy, Aidan, has been diagnosed with Leukemia and is currently going through treatments to fight it. He had to drop out of his kindergarten class to recieve treaments and focus on getting better. His mother gave birth to their 2nd child just weeks after they recieved the diagnosis, and their family was at risk of losing their home in order to make ends meet and pay all of Aidan's medical bills. Some little kids love cars, some enjoy super heros, Aidan loves monsters. He passes his time getting treatment and in the hospital by drawing monster pictures, and had so many that his aunt decided to try and sell them online to help offset his family's medical expenses. Her goal was to sell 60- she's sold over 2,500. The drawings sell for $12 and all the money goes to help with Aidan's medical bills. Unfortunately, I know this is just one of all too many stories like this. J and I picked out the SpongeBob & Friends for our home. Maybe you know a kid (or adult?) who'd like a monster picture for Christmas? You can also read more about Aidan's story on his blog. (note: I do not know Aidan, or his family. It is just a story I came across and it touched me enough to share it with all of you) :)
