This week went fast
First of all, it's time to catch up on a few birthdays. Everyone deserves to see their name appear it red when it's their birthday.
Four days ago: Happy Birthday, Hunter!
Two days ago, my nephew, Lucas, had his second birthday. He's the son of Jenelle's brother, Jeff, and his wife, Josie. Happy Birthday, Lucas!
Okay, I feel better about that. The next thing I need to do is share some more details from the walks last weekend.
The UCP walk (also known as "Joe's Run, Walk, and Roll") was a blast. Jenelle and I both got t-shirts just for particpating. This was the fourth walk for which we signed up. After I heard about it on the radio, I had to quickly change every reference in the THREE walks site to the FOUR walks site.
Shortly after registering, I located Danny and D from 105.3 The Fish. After gathering up the confidence to approach them, I greeted them and introduced them to Jenelle. I got a great picture (right here) and shared some basic information. I don't think this was a big deal to Jenelle, but I was loving every moment because I felt like I was talking to celebrities.
In any case, I learned that Danny and D would be "strolling" at the back of the pack, and we were welcome to join them, which we did. I first thought that there would be a lot people doing this, but there weren't all that many. This gave us the chance to learn a lot more about them and tell them all about us. I told them all about my efforts in the church worship band, the joys of our marriage, and plenty of other things along the 5k route. We finished the walk in just over an hour. In an amazing coincidence, Danny crossed the finish line at 1:05:30. Wow.
Jenelle and I stayed a little while for the after-party in the Hart Park building. We didn't win anything in the raffle, but we still had fun. We thanked Danny and D for the fellowship throughout the day, and D mentioned that he'd give a "shout out" to us on Monday morning. I didn't actually hear it, but I didn't need to. It was a wonderful experience to meet two brothers who both let their light shine before men (Matthew 5:16).
Next post: A recap of the AIDS Walk.
