31 Days: Childhood Diabetes

I was introduced to Childhood Diabetes as a 13 year old. I became friends with a girl who had Type 1. There was a lot that I learned from her. I had the opportunity to participate in the summer camp as well. JDRF is a great organization. Here is some information about Type 1 Diabetes.

• As many as three million Americans may have type 1 diabetes. ¹
• Each year, more than 15,000 children and 15,000 adults - approximately 80 people per day - are diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in the U.S.²

American Heart Association

We are so grateful for a team of qualified and talented doctors that were able to repair the heart of our father a year ago. We are so grateful for the advances in technology. 

What advances in technology are you most grateful for?

Can you 'Pitch'er a 'Perfect' Anna

So, to get you all excited for things you will NOT see in BD2 go out and see Pitch Perfect with the very talented Anna Kendrick. I just love that this girl has a great connection to Twilight. Go out and support her. From everything I hear the show is Awesome. I can't wait to see it.

31 days: Team In Training

One year ago I had the privilege to go and run the San Francisco Half Marathon with my Husband. It was such wonderful experience. 40,000 runners and most of them were apart of Team In Training. I love the idea of helping others and taking care of your body at the same time. There were cancer survivors running, cancer patients and a ton of friends and family of both. The energy from this crowd was electrifying and kept your spirits up the entire run. I think everyone should participate in these types of activities more often, either as a race participant or a cheerleading spectator. It lifts the soul and feeds your spirit like nothing else can.

Go! Fight! Win!

31 days: Kidneys

One in 10 American adults, more than 20 million, have some level of Chronic Kidney Disease.

The SagaGirls' Daddy has kidney problems, that have made the last 15 years difficult for him. If you or someone you know is dealing with the effects of kidney disease the National Kidney Foundation is a wealth of free information. Knowledge is wealth.

Taking over LA?

The news has hit all over the web about the details of BD2 Premiere in LA. The Ladies at LTT posted them and you can read them HERE. My question is who's going? I wasted some time reading some of the comments and there are some angry fans about the new process. I for one LOVE the new process. Anyone willing to take the chance this last time? What is the furthest you have gone to be "involved" with this series?

I dragged {whatever they ALL went willingly}the SagaGirls to Forks. That is the furthest I have gone. I guess getting together a theater full of people is going an extra mile also. I love celebrating the Saga with all you guys.

31 days: Autism

Cobi's youngest, 41/2yr old has autism and she writes about their journey at Peace from 6 Pieces.

We realize that many of you may be outside of Utah, but the reason we still chose this as our charity for today is because we love the fact that this charity is ran completely by volunteers. We love that every last cent of donations to this NON-PROFIT organization goes back to the people through: 

grants, education and research. 

Do you have a charity in your neck of the woods that is ran the same way?

Let us know about it.

Off Subject...

It is Twilight time, but My friend Brian sent me this link and I can't resist sharing this Hunger Games item with you. This is a local kid who wrote this song for Catching Fire. Spread the word and maybe his song can be in the movie.
