BYU is hosting the Utah Special Olympics this year and we went today as an office to volunteer for a few hours. Its been going on since yesterday and will finish tomorrow. Today was the track and field events and we helped with the 100 meter dash. We helped the contestants line up in their divisions and when it was their turn, we walked them out onto the field and got them setup in their correct lanes. It was such a fun afternoon seeing the excitement everyone had for the races and the comraderie (sp?) between the racers. It was really fun to get out of the office for a few hours on a gorgeous Friday afternoon and really enjoy helping out! I hope we do this again next year!

that is so great! I almost cry when I hear of people helping at the special olympics. I have done it before, what an amazing experience!
That is so awesome! What a great thing for your workplace to encourage!
Brady,
Congradulations on the baby. I can't believe you're pregnant (well, you know what I mean). You'll have to stop by if you're ever in Rexburg.
Take care,
Robert
