Light the Night Walk 2016

Every year the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society holds a fundraiser in different cities throughout North America to help raise money for curing blood cancers. Last year we walked at the LDS Hospital around the floor of East 8. This year, we got to join the masses and walk down the streets of Salt Lake.

These are the pictures that we took last year at the walk. And these are some of the pictures that we took this year:

We ran into Alyssa and Ashley, two of the nurses who helped me through everything. Ash is the one who went down to labour and delivery before we got there and demanded that they give us a little bed for Jack, formula, clothes, burp cloths, and anything else that we would need to have Jack in our room with us. It was waiting in our room for us when we arrived at the LDS Hospital the day after Jack was born. 

We got glow in the dark glasses and glow sticks. While I was in a line to get us some food, Jonathan took Jack to get a temporary tattoo on his face. It was a bug. Luckily it washed off the next day. 

There are three different colours of lanterns that you can get that signify different things. White lanterns are carried by survivors of blood cancers. Red lanterns are for everyone who was a care giver or supporter of someone who is/was going through treatments. Gold lanterns are the most special and signify if a person has been lost to blood cancers. 

My boys! Two of my many supporters and care givers who got me through my cancer. We wished that everyone who helped me through could have been with us for this great experience. 

There were so many people there who were walking and it was great to see so many supporters 

Comic Con

At the beginning of the month Jonathan and I had the opportunity to go to Salt Lake Comic Con. So we got a babysitter for Jack and dressed up to go take on the hoards of people. It was really fun and as requested, here are all our pictures that we took that day. And a few of Jack because he's definitely a cutie and I can't get over him.
