After carefully considering all 3 names that were suggested as our new team name for the annual JDRF Walk to Cure Diabetes, I went out on a limb and came up with my own. Although I loved the suggestions of Team Kick-Diabetes-in-the-Face (Drew), Curb-stomp Diabetes (Jake) and Addy's Team (Ernie), they either seemed a little too drastic for kid's t-shirts or eerily familiar.
So, without further ado, our new team name is.....
the A team!
Simple and to the point, but still conveys a strong image. Mohawks and gold chains anyone??
Ashely Hawthorne designed our t-shirts for us and I believe she did an amazing job of making them exemplify Addy's personality.
Psalm 139:13,14 (which is on the bottom of the shirt) has really been on my heart for Addy this year. For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. It is a reminder that God knew Addy would have this disease and that every part of her was perfectly put together. Perfectly! And it is also a reminder that in all the high's and low's of diabetes, we will praise Him.
Tomorrow I'll post the details for the walk.
1) can i please be hannibal? not because he's in charge but just bc he was the coolest. i promise to say "i love it when a plan comes together" no less than 240 times throughout the walk.
ReplyDelete2) i'm working on getting a portable tape player to play the theme song. lauren crenshaw has a fisher price one i think she'll let me borrow.
3) i'm so in and i can't wait. this is going to be such a precious time in so many different ways!
What a perfect team name! I wish I could be there to join you guys! Can't wait to see pictures and hear how it went. Loved getting to see you last week. You are just as wonderful as ever!
