Busy weekend

We have a pretty busy weekend ahead of us. I’m headed to Odessa for “Bulls and Bikes Riding for Faith” and my wife is staying with Carley and doing the Children’s Miracle Network. I should be back on Sunday for Carley’s segment. Hopefully the telethon is as successful as the radioathon was. And I hope we have a good turnout for the rodeo. My family, especially Maria and Oscar, the “Twins”, have really put a lot of time and money into organizing this fundraiser. They have been through a lot themselves, so it means so much to Kristal and I. And it’s not just them two, because the rest of my family has really stepped up to the plate. I love you guys.

We almost have “Carley’s Room” done. Some really good friends of ours, the Ramos’ and Sanchez’ gave up their Memorial Day weekend to tear down paneling, re-sheetrock the room and repair the termite damage. A very special thank you to one of the nurse’s husband for coming out and pretty much doing all the mud work himself. Fred, you’re the man. A special thanks to Circle G Tile for doing laying down the tile as well. With support from friends and family like this, there isn’t anything we cannot handle (and by no means am I challenging God to throw more our way, I’m just saying we have a great network of friends and family).

Funny that CMN’s logo is a hot air balloon. When I was in Turkey I rode in a hot air balloon for the very first time. Hopefully we’ll soar to great heights tomorrow. Click here for a preview of our story that will air on Sunday.

Here is Carley in an outfit that Larissa got her.
