Strike Fighter Ball 2008

It is that time of year for Strike Fighter Ball. It is a ball that the Striker Fighter squardons from NAS Oceana come together for a big ball at the Marriott Norfolk Waterside hotel and a week worth of sports competing against each other. Brandon and Nicole went to the softball game on Saturday to support the Red Rippers who ended up wining the softball tournament and a 5k run we all did. Aaron played golf on Thursday and his group won for the Tomcat course. It was a fun week and I always look forward to it every year!

Texas Trip

Brandon and I went to Houston, Texas to visit Nicole's family. We had a good time! Visited the pool alot because it was always 95 degrees and up. Main reason we went was to see my Mom she had her good and bad days. Yesterday I talked to her and the doctor gave her some good news that the cancer cell count is low and the treatment is working!! That was exciting news to hear. We are glad to be back in Virginia Beach in our house and with Aaron (he stayed behind to work and watch Maddy our dog).

My Mom

In June 2008, my mother, Barbara Barba, was diagnosed with Stage 4 Breast Cancer. She is currently under going treatment and is fighting strong. This year we are forming a team for the Susan G. Komen Austin race, to show support for my mother. Our number one goal is to have her walk with all of us on November 2. Please family and friends join us in our fight against breast cancer and show your support. There is strength in numbers and I know that we can all get through this together. I appreciate each and everyone of you and hope that you can join us. God Bless!

Here is a website my sister Natalie put together to keep up with her status and to show my mom our support. http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/barbarabarba
