jodies, c.b. the alpaca and a flag.

happy friday!

things are in full-swing! some of our fundraising emails went out today, which is probably why you are reading this. we had a great work-out. we did 4 miles of hills, by mo's house. while on our walk, we decided we need a couple of things for the big weekend in october:

1. jodies. or cheers. something we can do to pep-up the team. you know, like "when i say chestie, you say besties...chestie...besties...chestie...besties!" then we decided the jodies the military use when running would be an excellent way to keep spirits up. we are still working on those.
2. we have a new mascot. he's an alpaca, you know like a llama but with curly hair. anyway, we need an alpaca to carry our supplies on the trip. his name is c.b. aren't they cute?
3. and finally, we need a flag. we are going to take turns carrying our flag the last day so when we enter into the closing ceremonies, people will know the chestie besties are in the house!! or is it in the da house? whatever, you get the point.

so things are going great and i have heard several rumors about possible new chestie besties. it's not too late to join! in the next few weeks we'll be posting about ourselves on the blog. that way you can get to know each of the chestie besties. oh, come on, it's friday afternoon, you know reading this blog makes you look busy at work!

oh, on a personal note, i got my supply/tool belt today. it reminds me of batman's minus the grappling hook. i have worn it all day long. it's like a smaller version of my backpack. and if you ever have seen me out and about, you know how much i love my backpack. i think we'll get some pics up soon of our new waist/fuel/supply/tool belts. check back soon.

i think our houston besties are make some purchases this weekend. i am sure they will post an update soon!

have a good weekend and thanks for your support!
