Why We Dance

This week the Four Diamonds fund unveiled a new documentary about THON.

The story behind it, the people, the students, the goal.

I don't think there could have been any better compilation of such an awesome event. This barely touches the surface, but I think it does a pretty damned good job!

You can watch the video below (if it embeds properly) or go to YOUTUBE to find it

Please watch it and share it with your family and friends.

Go to the Four Diamonds or THON webpage and donate.

Stand up to cancer, Stand up for courage and hope that one day we will defeat cancer!

OUR SON is at 34:42 ( the bald squeaker with the water gun)

THIS IS WHAT PENN STATE IS ABOUT. We are the same age as these students and to see our fellow peers doing something so amazing like this FTK is amazing.

They stood united not just for 46 hours but for many years end to end, raising the bar fighting childhood cancer.

Each step one at a time we WILL DEFEAT CANCER, WE WILL LIVE STRONG, WE WILL HAVE HOPE, WE WILL HAVE COURAGE!

THANK YOU TO ALL!!

Scares, cares and vacations

Most vacations are normal.

Most vacations don't require hospital visits either >.<

We went to Wildwood for a couple days over the holiday weekend. It was a much needed time off for both I us.... Him not so much lol


We got there Thursday night no problem, a little traffic from the Eagles Flight Night.

We enjoyed a "semi-non discipline" needed day on the beach. After the beach we headed back to the hotel for some time in the pool.

He wanted to misbehave and run into the ocean when we told him no.


The pool was going okay, we told him to stop jumping in the kiddie pool whih had a iron bar fence to prevent the kiddies from swimming into the deeper side.

Sure enough he does it one more time... And *SMACK* goes his chin into the fence.

Brit rushed to out to him and started telling me "he gashed his chin"

I could barely see and said, "no he didn't"

I get closer, she has blood on her chest and I go "holy $h!t!!" let's go.


We got in, I bandages it up, we dried an changes and sped off to the ER.

Thankful god the Cape May Medical center was real close, and the cops weren't watching.... Because my car registration was expiring that day!! Oops!

We get there and are in triage within 5 minutes, seen by a nurse/dr within 15 after that, and we're on our way in about an hour/hour.5 tops!!

That was the shortest and quickest ER visit ever!!
