The traditional 15th wedding anniversary gift is Crystal. Last weekend, we celebrated out at Delights Tecopa Hot Springs and the Oasis resort in Death Valley for a weekend with Crystal, our bike. Cheers to so many more memories, miles, and smiles together!

Even though she’s not here, the kids still baked her a cake and we sang happy birthday to my mom. Happy birthday Yay Yay. We love and miss you.

Since it’s the fourth, we took a 4 mile walk in between a few appointments in the morning and appointments in the afternoon. I wanted to write something clever to accompany this photo. I had asked Aaron to find a spot where the light and dark were really patchy. I have been noticing that I’ve lost so much more of my residual eyesight, and transitioning from dark to light and light to dark have become even more exceptionally difficult for my eyes to process. I can’t come up with anything clever enough to turn into a blog post, so I’ll just post this photo here and say, “May the fourth be with you.”

We have just one week left to go! Team #MilesAndSmiles is back in first place of miles completed for National Braille Press #BrailleAcrossAmerica, Bringing awareness to the importance of braille literacy while raising funds to get more braille books in the hands of blind kids and blind parents. We need the support of our friends and family to get us through this last stretch. Won’t you consider making a donation? It cost three times as much to produce a braille book than it does a print book. Only 10% of blind kids are taught braille in school. 70% of blind adults are unemployed. 90% of those blind adults who are employed are braille readers.

My first batch of baked goodies is done as I get ready for this Saturdays #MilesAndSmiles birthday run. One of my favorite things to do before preparing for a long run is preparing all the treats I will eat. Here is two dozen banana protein muffins topped with dark chocolate covered espresso beans to share with family, friends, and neighbors at the ultimate aid station, a.k.a. our driveway, as they join me on my 39 miles for my 39th birthday. What better way to spend my day then this! I get to do something I love, with the people I love, all while raising awareness and funds for #BrailleAcrossAmerica.
