Success

It may have been a busy week, but it was a very successful week. Thursday was by far the busiest day, with my work day starting at 3 am and ending somewhere around 9 pm. The "Healthy You! Health Fair on the West Steps of the State Capitol was a huge success with at least 400-450 people coming to see the 20 health and community organizations represented and to pick up their very own copy of a new health resource guide "A Healthy You!"

Next it was off to setup the Healthy You! booth at Black Expo 2008 and finally off to win some awards at the 21st Annual SPRA Cappies. I came home with an award for my work on the Karen Gaffney Tahoe Challenge and numerous awards for the work my team and I did for the Partnership for Prescription Assistance. Friday I was able to continue to hand out health related information at Black Expo 2008, including my favorite brochure of all time, "Nutrition in the Fast Lane" a guide that gives all the nutrition facts for fast food restaurants throughout the country.

Now it's time to relax and pack, because on Tuesday I head to Orlando, Florida for some fun in the sun at Disney World with my mom, grandma and my brother's family.

Snow at Fort Bradley

After a great open house with friends and family at Fort Bradley, a birthday dinner at Zocolo and watching Blind Side , I did not think the day could get much better ... but then it started to snow. Fort Bradley is looking more and more like the Bradley Lodge and is becoming a " Winter Wonderland ." Or maybe it's beginning to look a little more like Christmas .

Celebrating Peanut Butter and Pancake Days, Skiing and Friends

Image
It was a week of varied experiences. I used my Chick-Fil-A Calendar Card for an order of free fries (and also ordered a wrap and ice cream sundae ) while out to dinner with a friend, then joined my parents for the weekend at the Bradley Lodge . My dad and I got a beautiful day of skiing in at Bear Valley ... beautiful since so much snow had fallen. My mom and grandma went all out on dinner and we celebrated Peanut Butter Day with a dessert of Reese's Chips Ahoy Cookies and Reese's Peanut Butter Pie (funny part ... we had no idea it was going to be Peanut Butter Day in advance, we just already had those items and it made for a good excuse to eat them). On Sunday I met with with friends at Rolling Hills Christian Church for a night of worship and baptism and then we headed to dinner at Casa Ramos ... my plate of food was giant (I actually brought leftovers home). On Tuesday I found out it was Pancake Day and figured I should celebrate. I made a few pancakes for my room
