This year The Heart Campaign decided to rally all the volunteers they could get and go out to love on our communities all in one day. So on Saturday, September 25th more than 2,500 volunteers from over 100 different churches and community organizations joined together to serve in 15 different local communities!
We decided to help set up the Expo Center this year. So Jason & I and all three boys headed out to Redmond to set up chairs with all the other volunteers. We only made it about five minutes before Lucas decided that sitting in his stroller just wasn't "involved" enough so Jason put him in the snuggly and he got to be in on all the action. We set up, dusted the chairs, measured rows, measured isles, and visited & met some great new people too!

And this was the result: over 8,000 people attending to see the band Elliot perform with a special appearance by Nick Nujicic, who also set the Guinness Book world record for hugs with a total of 1,749 in 60 minutes which I got to be part of personally! His story is amazing and so is he! I've never been inspired by another person as much as I have been after meeting him!
