Towerview Blood Drive, Take 2 : Honoring Mr. Bob

Yay, blood drives! Everytime I attend or participate in one of these things, it flashes me back to college, when my RA [and now one of my finest friends, I might add!] encouraged her dorm girls to find our way to the annual on-campus Hoxworth drives. By encourage, I mean that she all but dragged us by the hair to go. Luckily, I was introduced to blood drives in high school, so it wasn't an entirely foreign concept, but it did give us all grins to watch some of the snootier gals lose their minds over the very idea of it all.

In any case, I'm a huge proponent of blood drives, and now that I'm in the Missouri territory, I've joined the ranks of American Red Cross donors, complete with a membership card and all. Woo! :)

Back in August, we donated at our first Towerview blood drive; today was the second go 'round, and this time for a cause very close to our hearts. Today's drive was dedicated to honor Mr. Bob, who is still showing us all how to show honest praise in the face of a trying situation. He is such an incredible man, and I was proud to be a part of today if for no other reason than to honor him and Ms. Isla.

Here's til next time!
