Ryan did awesome and finished the race before they had the cancel it. The temperatures were dangerous and deadly that day soaring to 88 degrees which is insane for an October marathon in Chicago. Ryan ran with the Inspiration Corporation team and surpassed his fundraising goal. We were excited to be with him that day so we had church at the marthon. On hand to celebrate his victory from Family of Hope CC were Pastor AJ, Armon, Ebony, Kenon, Lew, Tara, Jason and me.

Hanging out with Team Gray
Beloved cousins, Angie and Curtis and their wonderful children, came to visit us on Saturday, September 1st. In attendence for an afternoon feast and some good family time were Team Gray, Mom, Langston and Ryan. We grilled burgers, brats and kielbasa. Sides included Dad's potato salad(my favorite!) and a baked veggie thing I threw together (turned out good!). For desert we had popsicles, brownies and some really great cookies from Yani (chef Yani). We hung out, talked politics, sports, current events and played games. Lolo had a ball playing in the backyard with Imani, Joy and Esteban. Dad showed up later that evening and we had great conversation with him as well. It was a wonderful day, I'm so glad they came. I'd love to head north soon to visit Angie and Curtis so that we can hang out one more time before the weather turns.

My Very Own Laptop
Yesterday, we got a laptop for school. I'm so happy. We got a good deal (mail in rebate, etc). Office Depot of all places. Just need to keep Lolo's fingers off the OFF button.

Memoirs
I just finished Memoirs of a Geisha
. I enjoyed the beginning and the middle much more than the end. I remember going on YouTube and seeing a whole bunch of commentary from Asian comedians who might have hated the movie
. The commentaries are funny. Comments like boring, the Geisha is played by a Chinese woman, you know, things like that. I get how that might just be irritating.
