A Little Bit of Rock Today...

It was time to change my playlist again...and I'm pretty excited about this selection. I am loving Kelly Clarkson's new song...and I must say that my life would suck without all of you faithful blog followers! I also enjoy some Nickelback, and Gotta be Somebody is one of my favs by them. And who doesn't love some Def Lepard?! If you don't love Pour Some Sugar on Me...well, then I really don't know how we are friends...just kidding! I had to put a slow tune in, so that's where my boyfriend, I mean...Bon Jovi comes in. Make a Memory is off of his newest CD, which really isn't that new, but as a loyal Bon Jovi fan he'll always appear on my playlist!

So...things here have been same ol' same ol'. I was so excited to see the SUN yesterday...after 4 straight days of rain and clouds it was great, and there's a rumor more rain is coming-yuck. I'm glad the sun decided to come out too because some friends of ours were doing a fundraiser and it was outside...so nice weather was helpful. Joseph and I are so thankful for all of the support that Martha and Robbie showed us when Jackson was here, so it was exciting for us to be able to help them now. You may remember they had a daughter Campbell born very early, at around 28 weeks. Well...it's been over a year and Campbell is doing great! You can read all about Campbell here and while you are there you can give a donation to The March of Dimes and be entered into a raffle to win some neat things. Here's a picture of the 4 of us at the fundraiser, and yes, that is a grown man in a playpen, with a bonnet and diaper, begging for donations. Otherwise known as "Doc" from 107.9 The Link...


In other exciting news...I have completed my April arrangements and will be delivering them on Wednesday and taking a picture. So, be sure to check back then! I might be getting a big head because my help has been requested in helping a friend make an arrangement...wow! I'm happy to help anyway I can. I must admit that Joseph was a big help in this arrangement...he helped with everything! There's nothing cuter then a cute man walking around a craft store making a flower arrangement...

And...my last big announcement. Joseph and I have booked a little vacation getaway, and I'm super excited. We kept going back and forth about it...so today I decided to just book it and that would be that. I'm not saying where we are heading off too (only 1 person knows, and I know she won't tell right Pam!), what fun would that be, but I am working on a little "Guess where the Hedge's are going" Game. Fun times! I will tell you that we are flying somewhere and staying in a hotel for under $500, not to bad. We are going to be leaving on May 15th which as many of you know will mark 2 years since losing Jackson. 2 years...are you freaking serious?! It's so hard to believe that it's been that long. There still is not a single day that goes by where I don't think about him and miss him. It is just crazy...it's approaching fast too. That leads me into my next adventure...should I attempt another fundraiser in Memory of Jackson?! I'm not sure what I want to do, I know the economy is rough right now, but there is so much money needed to help find a cure so that other families don't go through what Joseph and I went through, and so that we don't have to go through that again too. Anyone have any great ideas of what I could do?! I was going to steal, I mean copy, Martha and Robbie's idea and just do a raffle, but I'm not sure. I need help from all the creative people...give me some ideas please! I promise I'll let everyone know when I have come up with something! And at least you know that no matter what if you donate you'll get a shout out, what more do you need?!

Alright...I think that might be it for this time around. Thanks for checking in and sharing in our journey. As always, please REMEMBER JACKSON!
