Race for a Cure + Engel Party

After the golf tournament, I headed to St. Louis for the St. Louis Race for a Cure with my parents and sister Rachel. John & Amie had to work so he stayed back, we missed them dearly! The race was amazing with 65,000 people in attendance. We walked in memory of my grandma Marilyn who passed away in October from cancer and also in honor of our friend Melanie who is now in remission from Breast Cancer. After the walk we celebrated at my aunt & uncle's house, Trina made the drive up also (thanks friend!)

The massive crowd of people as you can see in the distance.

St. Louis Weekend with the fam

What a lovely weekend! My two sisters, John and I made a trip up to St. Louis for the Lil Wayne, Rick Ross, Nicki Manaj and Travis Barker concert. Saturday we stayed with my Aunt Jules and Uncle Scott  and  cousin Meghan and Erin. Sunday at their church they did a special memorial service for my grandma since it has been 6 months since she passed.  We got to see her burial site for the first time. After, we headed downtown for lunch with my college roommate Melton and her husband at Schafly Bottle Works. Then headed to our hotel in downtown St. Louis. The concert was so much fun and it was just nice to spend some time with my sisters and family.
