Quiet Summer?

Alan Knox — Sun, 27 Jul 2008 00:30:00 +0000

So, it has been a very quiet summer on this blog. But, it hasn’t been a quiet family for our family. Here are a few highlights.

Jeremy is preparing to test for his 1st degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do. Apparently, most of the preparations included getting beat up, bruised, scratched, scarred, and clawed. Sounds like fun, doesn’t it?

Miranda hurt her ankle at the beginning of summer. She doesn’t know how she did it, but she was swimming, TKD’ing, and playing alot. Anyway, she cracked a bone in her ankle and had to wear a boot for 3 weeks. She’s now in a lace-up brace and doing physical therapy.

Jeremy and I (Alan) went to an all day concert called Projekt Revolution. It was alot of fun.

Miranda is celebrating her 11th birthday tomorrow. Her party is tonight.

At the beginning of the summer, Margaret and I (Alan) started walking in the mornings for exercise. So far, we’re doing pretty good – walking longer distances and for a longer time. We’ve also been eating better – less processed foods and sugars, more fruits and vegetables and water. Tonight (birthday party) doesn’t count.

I’ll try to update more often in the days to come… and I’ll try to post some pics soon.

Relay for Life

During our lifetime, several family members and friends have been diagnosed with cancer. Alan’s grandfather and Margaret’s grandmother died from cancer. The son of our good friends was recently diagnosed and treated for cancer. Last year, Margaret’s father was diagnosed and treated for prostate cancer. Cancer has greatly affected our life.

Our family is taking part in the Relay for Life to raise money for the American Cancer Society. When we signed up to take part in the Relay for Life in our area (North Raleigh/Wake Forest Relay on May 16-17), we were each given a “Participation Page” which allows people to donate online. If you would like to help us raise money to help fight cancer, please click one of the pages below and look for the “Donate” button.

Thank you for helping us raise money for the American Cancer Society!

Snow

So, it started snowing here about an hour ago. We were supposed to get snow a few days ago, but nothing materialized. Anyway, today we are definitely going to get snow – since it is already snowing. It is supposed to snow all night and into the early morning hours. Also, the temperature is supposed to drop into the 20′s. They are saying that the snow should stick around until at least Monday.

We talked to Margaret’s parents earlier this morning. It was snowing in Alabama then. According to the new reports, this was their first snow since 1993 – that’s fourteen years ago! We remember that snow vividly. It snowed on December 22, 1993 – the day that Jeremy was born. We were in the hospital watching it snow out the window. I think it also snowed the spring before, but I don’t remember the exact date. Snow is rare in Alabama.

If we have any accumulation, I’ll put some pictures on here. Also, I hope to post some pictures from our travels to Alabama and Georgia over Christmas and New Years.
