a different kind of perfect

i'm a mom...on a mission...to enjoy life everyday...appreciate the little moments...try not to get so easily annoyed...raise my kids with a faith legacy that leads them to continue to be amazing people...and to make my husband feel as special as he makes me feel.

What is Cystic Fibrosis?

CF is an inherited chronic disease that affects the lungs and digestive system of about 30k children and adults in the US (70k worldwide). A defective gene and its protein product cause the body to produce unusually thick, sticky mucus that both clogs the lungs and obstructs the pancreas and stops natural enzymes from helping the body break down and absorb food.

Save the Date for Chillin' & Grillin' and Cubs/Sox Raffle



We are trying something new this year; something more relaxed and our style.  We’re going to host a Block Party on Saturday July 14th from 3-10 pm and we would love to have you join us as we are “Chillin’ & Grillin’ for a Cure.”  This isn’t just any block party, it is a fundraiser that we are hosting to raise money for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.  Along with help from many of you already, Team Eat. Pray. Dean has raised over $50,000 in the past two years.   We are striving to raise as much as we can in the hopes of advancing research to find a cure for our little man -- a cure that is truly within reach.  Log onto our website (www.eatpraydean.com) to find out more about Dean and to watch him in his very own video.

This awesome day will include a rib cook-off (entry deadline by June 30th if you're interested), basket raffles, games and activities for adults and kids.  Stop by for the day or for just a few hours – we’d love your support!  Help us plan for food by giving us your RSVP via this evite link:  http://new.evite.com/#view_invite:eid=026ANC2ZTL7RSYAS4EPBVLPPOUYR3Q



Next up...we have tickets to the June 19 7:10pm Sox/Cubs game at US Cellular that we are raffling off for $25 each.  You will win 6 seats (section 149) including parking pass!! Dean will pull the lucky winner this Sunday. Email/call us if you are interested in buying a raffle ticket.  Thank you to Karen and her hubby for graciously donating these to us!

Finally, if you missed our Great Strides thank you, you can read it here...we're still working on putting the pictures together but will have them all ready after the Block Party.  Team Eat. Pray. Dean in Maryland had their walk this past weekend and we're grateful for the crew that supported us and walked for Dean in Ellicott City, MD Great Strides.

Thanks for all of your unending support!
