Florida Vaca

Me and Waller at the Piano Bar
The inside of the resort, it was very much like a Vegas hotel
Waller and I surfing at Universal's City Walk




I arrived in Jacksonville Thurday night to visit my friend Jennifer Waller who I used to be roommates with in San Diego. She won a sales contest at her job which was a weekend in Orlando at the Gaylord Palms resort. And, she took me as her date! Thursday night we went out in Neptune Beach for dinner and drinks at the Lemon Bar right on the water. Friday we got pedicures and headed over to Orlando. Friday night her company had a cocktail hour and awards dinner at a very cool steak restaurant at the resort. We then went to a piano bar and closed that down. Saturday we went to the Mall Millenia which had the largest Macy's I had ever seen!!! Saturday night we had a great dinner (again paid for by Jen's company :-) at an Italian Bistro and then we were treated to a night out at Universal to see the Blue Man Group. It was a very strange show, but entertaining, I think. (I was confused as to what was going on the whole time).

I got to visit Emily, my sister, while I was there. We had lunch and then Em took me to the airport. My flight was delayed so I didn't get home until after midnight - but it was worth it. It was a fabulous weekend!! Thanks Waller!!!

60 miles - are you crazy?

I know it sounds crazy, but I have signed up for the Susan G. Komen 3-Day walk to raise money to find a cure for breast cancer. Me and my team (which includes Angie, Amy, Kate and Rachel) are going to walk 20 MILES A DAY FOR 3 DAYS and sleep in tents for two nights. The walk is the first weekend in November. I have to raise $2,200 and so far I have $400. If you have any spare change, you can go to my fundraising website and donate to the cause at: http://www.the3day.org/Arizona07/koravec
Wish me luck during the next three months of training and fundraising!!

Mysterious Rash

Jeremy had a high fever last Saturday and Sunday. While we were at our layover on Sunday in Chicago, Jeremy noticed a few red splotches on his wrist. When he woke up on Monday he had a rash all over his body. On Monday the doctor said that it was an allergic reaction to something. He went back to the doctor on Tuesday when it got worse. They took x-rays, consulted doctors at other hospitals and came up with a diagnoses that a virus was causing his previous fever and his immune system is overworking to fight it which is causing a chemical imbalance which is creating a full-body rash. We are still unsure of what is going on exactly but poor Jeremy started his new job this week so he can't call in sick!! More updates to come on the mysterious skin condition.
