Lending a Helping Hand

This past weekend we went and photographed a benefit golf tournament for Jamie Merendino. Jamie is a childhood friend of a co-worker of mine. She was a cheerleader at UT and graduated from UT in 2005 and now works for D Magazine in Dallas. In June (at age 26) she was diagnosed with Mediastinum Large B Cell Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. Her brother organized a benefit golf tournament at Belle Oaks Golf Club on Saturday. You can also visit www.JamieFight.com. There was a silent auction at the welcome party on Friday, and between that and the golf tournament, they raised $23,000!

We were at the golf tournament from 8-1 on Saturday morning - the mosquitos were brutal!! I think I have over 40 bites. Over half of them are on my butt. Those suckers bit through my blue jeans and ignored the 3 layers of off i had on. But I think the photos turned out nice, and ill have those ready in a couple days.

On the way up there, I was driving the truck. And Justin said: I like how the seats sit in the truck. I can see your belly and it's pudgy. Oh thanks honey! And then he said that I should get pregnant just so he can see how big I'd get. Really? that sounds like a great reason! On that note - im still under 150 lbs and he's still under 200. We've recently started the biggest loser workout DVDs and im friggin sore. A good sore. but sore. Havent seen results yet, we've only done the workout like 3/4 times. But this week we're going full force, ever day, and maybe ill lose a couple lbs. I have about 9 lbs to lose and justin has almost 30! So he can shove his little pudgy belly comments up his you know what! ha!

PS - I realize i havent blogged about Vegas. I dont really know why. But i will. Maybe tomorrow. :-p
