So…when Lindsay and I first started dating about 7 months ago, she warned me, “I’m going to put you to work during the Gainesville March of Dimes Walk”. All I can say…boy did she! Starting Thursday I drove at least 3 different trucks (a van, a panel truck, and a moving truck), I loaded said trucks with just about every item you can imagine, and I helped build everything from a stage to a free standing sign. I also chucked a few hundred bags of ice…phew.

Although there was very little sleep for a few days…it ended up being worth it! Over 6000 people attended the walk and it was amazing to see how important this organization and event is to the community. As walkers returned to the central staging area…after an 8.5 mile walk, they were greeted with food from local restaurants and entertainment. The highlight of the day for me was watching Anna Moo. Who is Anna Moo? She is a fifty+ year old local woman who is an entertainer and all I can say is that she brings it. I really think she is my new favorite local celebrity.

Saturday evening, we ended the night with a dinner with the staff at Ballyhoo’s and then it was home for a good twelve hours of sleep!
