Extra Life 2014!!!

David and I are ridiculously excited for October 24th. By that time, I will be done with this class that I am in the last panic driven two weeks of (so panicky, in fact, that I'm taking time to write this blog post), we will have a five month old baby (what the what?!), and we will be one week away from our awesome Halloween costume (either Dean, Castiel, and Sam from Supernatural or Thomas, Martha and Batman Wayne). But what we are most excited for is Extra Life 2014!

After Sam goes to bed on Friday the 24th David and I will begin a 24 hour gaming marathon to raise money for the University of Iowa Children's Hospital, a Children's Miracle Network hospital. This is the hospital that very likely saved my sweet cousin Mara's life some ten years ago or so and where we will take Sam if, heaven forbid, anything is to happen to him.

So far, Sam has been nothing but wonderful; he's happy, adorable, and, most importantly, healthy. True, since his birth, we have had to go to the emergency room four times, but each trip was because of my blood clots and Sam was pleasant the whole time I had to be in the hospital, being especially nice for his Pop during the night shifts. We are so grateful for our little boy and even more grateful that he is healthy. So, in an effort to pay it forward, we are trying to raise one dollar for every day that Sam hasn't been in the hospital- $154. If we could afford to just give it ourselves, we would, but we can't; we need help! Please help support us supporting our hospital.

I really want to get footie jammas for David and me. I think it would be fun and cozy and would make for very fun pictures. However we can't afford that either. If you want to sponsor our jammies, that would also be awesome.

David and I are really excited for this. Taking a day to pretend we are young enough to stay up all night, playing games. We'll be live-tweeting (only on Facebook since neither of us Twitters) our games, fun pictures, the Papa Murphy's pizza we'll be eating, and how tired we are. It will be very fun! We are excited that we will be having a very fun time and hopefully doing some good at the same time.
