I went to school with a girl named Alexa Bracken. And her new sister in law has become very sick with a virus that basically makes it so she can't eat anything. She has had to get her nutrition from an IV for the past six months. Most doctors didn't know what to do to cure it, but they finally found one who will perform a surgery on her and make her better! The only problem is that it will cost them about $200,000- $300,000 out of pocket and their insurance won't help because she is "underage" (she is 14 years old). They are asking for any donations to help her get this surgery done! They are hoping to have the money by July 17th. If any of you guys are willing to help donate (even $5 helps!) then please let me know :) I will try to get money to them by July 13th. Thanks guys!

Hair

I should never leave Danny alone with my little brother. This is what I saw when I came home from work...



Danny shaved a star on each side of Reed's head, the word REED on top of his head and the number 14 on the back of his head. My mom is never going to let Reed stay with us ever again.

fast food

I have always been a pretty healthy person. I still give in to cravings though. And ice cream is a huge weakness for me. But I have never really enjoyed fast food. I just think it's gross. Ever since becoming pregnant though, that is ALL i crave! I drive down the street and start salivating when I see Wendy's or Taco Bell. And I think about pizza and burgers all day long. I gave into my cravings of fast food once and bought Little Caesars pizza. I felt sick ALL day long afterwards! But for some weird reason, I still crave it like there is no tomorrow.



So I have started making those "fast food" meals at home. Tonight we had homemade chili burgers on whole wheat bread. We used EXTRA lean burger meat and 99% fat free turkey chili. A few weeks ago I made little pizzas on english muffins. And on Sunday Danny and I made homemade fajitas. I have been trying to stay healthy but it has proven to be difficult! Anyways to all of you who are struggling with eating and exercise, I promise that you feel better after it is done! I always feel better after working out for just a half hour. And eating junk food just makes me (and you) feel sick afterwards. If any of you have healthy recipes that still are delicious then let me know!
