About Me

Like "peas in a pod" we are "Pears-on a pod" since we're Pearsons! (get it, get it??) haha We are living the dream... married in 2009 and now expecting an addition to the family in August! We hope this blog will help keep family and friends up-to-date on all that's going on!

Charity Gala

Kid One is a charity that helps kids get to needed doctor appointments.  A lot of families don't have a vehicle or one that currently works. 

Did you know that 16.6% of Alabamians lived below the poverty line according to the 2009 Census Data?  That means that 25.8% of children lived in households below the poverty line. (Poverty line = $22,050 for a year for a family of 4 or $10,830 for an individual for a year)

So, enough education for today, but I say all that to say.... A lot of people are less fortunate than us.  I hope we all keep that in perspective. We are richly blessed... in jobs, friends, and family!

Here are a few pictures from the Gala we attended.  To raise money there was a live auction, silent auction, and a plated dinner.  We had a lot of fun with friends for a good cause!
