I would like to thank a few special people for their donations. My sweet aunt Barbara, thank you, and it's ok that you can't walk. My great friend, Tonya Brewer, it will be just as fun this year as it was last year! Another great friend, Michelle Oxrider, love ya! A scrappy friend all the way in California, Diana, thanks, you're a sweetheart! And my teacher, Mrs. Combs, I'm tickled that you will be walking with me!

For anyone else that would like to sign up to walk, or make a donation, click on the "Race For A Cure" link at the right of the page. Make a donation under my name, Kristi Snapp, or sign up to walk with my team, Kristi's Krusade. The race will be on October 26, at 3:00 p.m. at the park across from DB High School. I'm hoping to get 10 members on my team, but so far there is only 2 signed up. So come on, sign up, I know there are at least 10 people that love me, right?

School is going great! I will take the final for English sometime this week, and then will be finished with that!! I've made some really good friends, as well!

That Time Of Year Again!

Yep, time for the Susan G. Komen race in Kingsport this year! I'm a little late getting my team and page set up this year. Last year I joined a team created my one of the dr. offices I go to, but this year they aren't doing it, so I created my own team! I named it Kristi's Krusade and you can click on that and it will take you right to the team page where you can sign up, donate, see how close I am to my goal, etc. Last year I had enough friends and family walk with me to have my own team, so I hope I can say the same for this year as well! Let's just hope that it is not as hot as it was last year! It should not be 92 degrees in October like it was last year!! I'm really excited about it! I know this year to take pictures and to take a bottle of water with me on the actual walk! Anyway, I'd be really greatful if you could walk with me, or even just make a donation! Any amount, no matter how small will be so very appreciated!

After 10+ years!

I have finally went back to school! Yep! I'm taking business systems technology classes at the Tn Technology Center. I'm hoping to work in a medical office, maybe an oncology office. So far I really like it. Our main subjects are keyboarding, math, and english/grammer. Now, most of the the women in the class are dreading the math part, but I actually enjoy math, so that's not what I'm concerned with. Keyboarding is gonna be my biggest challenge. Why? Well, I didn't take it in high school, which I have regretted so many times, so, therefore I never learned to type the "correct" way. I am a self-taught typer, and don't use the correct fingers on the correct keys, but I don't chicken peck either! So breaking my old habits and starting over is a big hurdle!! But I will do it! As a matter of fact, writing here is a great practice! I surprised myself one evening when I was working in my math book and I actually didn't want to quit!! Getting up early is another thing, ugh! I have never been a morning person, but I am having to be one now! My classes are from 7:30-2:10 and I have to get ready in time to get the kids dressed and to my mother-in-law. Now I know that there are women that have done this for years and are very good at it, but when you're not use to it, well, you are just not use to it! Anyway, back to the class, it is "learn at your own pace", so our instructor pretty much handed us our books and a syllabus, and said have at it, and she goes to her office. Granted, she will help us at any time me need it, but we are on out own. This is foreign to me, I like structure! I am proud to say, however, that I am ahead of schedule! I plan on taking my first math test Monday! I'm also taking the opportunity to shed a few pounds. See, where the school is, there is nothing close to get for lunch, so I have to take something. There is a fridge in the room that we can use, so I have been taking bottled water to have during the day. So I figure, since I can't just sit and eat whenever I want, and WHATever I want, I would eat what I have available, so if I only take good things with me then that is all I have! We'll see if I can keep it up! Oh, want to see the pic of me on my first day of school?? Too bad, you're gonna see it anyway!
