The Edgrens

A beautiful wedding for a beautiful couple!  We are so thankful for this group of friends, and I love that we continue to support each other through all of these life milestones!

Congratulations Carleigh and Dave!  We are so happy for you guys!

 

Spring Break in Europe

Brody spent Spring Break in Europe visiting Amsterdam, Brussels, and Paris.  I'm so thankful he had the opportunity to go and experience this trip with friends.  He had a lot of fun and made lots of great memories!  I can't imagine a better way for him to spend his final Spring Break of high school.  

Burnin' for Bucks Year 8

Burnin for Bucks Year 8...WOW!!  $17,253.96 raised for CHD Research at the Monroe Carrel Jr. Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt!! To see this amount grow year after year is truly amazing!  I can't even express how grateful I am.  Kids with congenital heart defects deserve the best treatment options possible to give them long and healthy lives, and hopefully this money will help make that happen.  If it helps just one child, it's all worth it!

Thank you Burn Boot Camp Hendersonville!  You guys are heroes for stepping up and supporting this event...as competitors, judges, raffle participants, cheerleaders, or supporters. We appreciate each and every one of you!

Thank you Jeremiah for leading us well and programming tough but fun events.  Thank you Christine for all the planning.  Thank you Chelsea for stepping in wherever needed.  Thank you Lori and Rusty for opening the gym and supporting this cause.  Thank you Caitlin for heading up the judges and creating the most perfect score cards.  Thank you McKenzie for taking such beautiful pictures to remember this special day.  Thank you Cynthia for the healthy treats to keep us all fueled for the long day.  Thank you Jason, Brody, and Colby for always being by my side and supporting me!  I love you guys BIG!

Our annual check presentation to Dr. Doyle is coming soon!  Then, we start gearing up for Burnin for Bucks 2026!  Let's goooooo!!

 

DECA State

We are so proud of the boys for participating in DECA this year, and I love that they both got to attend the State Competition in Chattanooga...learning, growing, and making memories! 

A Successful Surgery

Colby's surgery went well...so well that we are already home the same day!!  Thank you for all of the prayers today!  We are thankful that the pacemaker and lead came out easily and plastic surgery didn't run into any issues with his scar revision.  Colby is thankful he was able to bring the old pacemaker home.  I guess he deserves a little parting gift.  

Night Before Surgery

Because of the incoming snow, we decided to come and stay the night near the hospital.  Colby didn't want to risk missing this surgery!  Thank you Angela for arranging the hotel for us.  You made a very stressful time just a little less stressful.  

We check in for surgery at 6:30 tomorrow morning, and surgery should start around 8:30.  We will post updates when we can.  Please pray for the surgeons and their teams and for Colby.  We are all eager to get this one behind us. 

Senior Snowball for Brody

Brody attended his last Snowball Dance at Merrol Hyde.  All of the "lasts" are starting to get harder and harder for me emotionally, but I love seeing him enjoy them all.   He and Emily looked great, and they had a fun night together.  Big thanks to Brody's friend, Noah, for taking the awesome pics!
