Turkey Trot!

Okay I know it has been One week since Thanksgiving, but here is a picture of family and friends at the turkey trot. It was a lot of fun seeing so many Kamber shirts through out the race. My favorite part was seeing my family at the end of the race cheering me on. I didn't sleep much the night before because of the rain, I prayed that Heavenly Father would allow the rain to stop just long enough to run for Kamber and if he wanted it to pour after that, then so be it. My prayer was answered and the rain stopped long enough for us all to finish the race. Right as the last people were crossing the finish line the rain started up again and I know that wasn't just a coincidence. I felt that Kamber was there with us all the whole time and every time I wanted to stop I just thought of Kamber and the fact that I was doing it for her. I felt as if I would get a little push and I endured to the end, which felt as though it was never going to come.
Life has seemed like that a lot here lately. There have been so many times I just want to give up. I don't want to endure this life with out Kamber and there seems to be no end in sight. I just have to have faith that there is an end to the pain and I can endure till that time.
Thanks to all for your support and willing to endure for me and Kamber!

Thank you so much for allowing me to be part of the run. It was an amazing experience!! I couldn't believe how the rain came that day, I remember thinking as I was walking to my car how lucky we were... many many prayers were answered that day. (Im sure Kamber helped out with that!) Jen I just want you to know how great of a person you are. You truly are an example to so many people. You have touched me by the things you have written about more than once. Your amazing...
Take care of yourself

Jen,
How funny that I thought the same thing about the rain. We had a horrible night the night before the trot - because of the rain and other strange noises our house was making - anyway - I was soooo glad we were able to run and have the sun peek out for just a moment. Then, as we got in our car it started to rain. I was so thankful we were able to do it for Kamber. The T-shirts are way cute too!

I had such a great experience that day. I am so thankful that you let me be a small part of Kambers memory. You are amazing your strength and courage is inspiring. I wish you nothing but happiness this holiday season.
