jump rope to save lives

tyler is participating in the American Heart Association's jump rope for heart on 11 feb. he is trying to raise at least $85 for the org. and is looking for folks to sponsor him for the big day. some of you may have already gotten an e-mail from him, and if you can help out it would be awesome. according to ty, the American Heart Association is apparently losing money and in need of more funding (i guess most non-profits are unfortunately always in this predicament). anyway, he has set up a website via the AHA: http://www.kintera.org/faf/donorReg/donorPledge.asp?ievent=201515&supId=162126751. you can go there and make an online donation (minimum $25) or if you'd like to donate less then just send a check to us (payable to the American Heart Association)....we promise we won't pocket the money *wink*. please help if you can!

finally switched to the new blogger, and decided to change the background while i was at it. something different...for the eyes.

time to work on taxes. this time we are doing it ourselves...no more H&R Block-i think they knew as much as we did. needless to say, it was a waste of money, though it was nice to have someone do all that work.
