Vote for Emily!!

So, I love contests and I love my sister-in-law Emily! As many of you know, my brother Mike and his wife Em have been through some really tough times Their first daughter, Lilly was born of a brain abnormality and then died 6 weeks later. One year later, their second child, Ryker was born. He had Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome...completely unrelated to Lilly's condition. He had surgery when he was just a few days ago and passed away after being in Primary Children's for 7 weeks. In 2 years they have experienced tremendous grief and sadness. Recently, she entered a contest for a makeover and is a finalist! Please go to the website and vote for her. There is no obligation when you vote. You don't even have to put in your email address (just so you know they won't be tracking you down). She is very deserving and would love this opportunity. Pass this email on to your family, friends, Facebook pals, coworkers, post it on your blog, etc. and encourage everyone to vote for Emily! It is the easiest, quickest service you can do!! You can only vote once per computer, so EVERY vote matters!! The message below is from my brother, Mike. The website address for the contest is seriouslysoblessed.blogspot.com

It only takes a few seconds...and will make Emily's dreams come true!

With love,
Kat

Washington D.C. w/ Dan
En route to Zambia, we had a longer than expected layover which meant spending a night in Washington D.C. We spent the day with Dan, one of Jon's best friends, and had a great time!
