(Director Kathy Porter and me)I can't believe I haven't blogged about this yet, but for the last two years I have been volunteering for KEEP (Kidney Early Evaluation Program). These pictures are from a screening I did on Wednesday. Way back when I had a real job I used to be a phlebotomist (blood draws), and I loved it! So, naturally when I saw that they needed phlebotomists (or as my friend Andrea used to call me "flow-bot") I jumped at the opportunity to keep up on my skill and help my community. I have done maybe 10 or 12 screenings in the Wasatch front area, and have really enjoyed it. Anyway, they do free kidney screenings (and several other tests), they let you talk to an actual doctor about your results, and they also send you your blood test results in the mail. So, if any of you in the area would like to host one for a community service project (this also counts as an Eagle Scout project by the way) let me know! They need a certain amount of participants to make it worth it, but it's free and a great way to serve the community!

Hey, that is so awesome. Sorry I did not watch your kids. My run was not even that great. I felt tired. You are so great to do that. I will have to talk to you more about it.
I also really hope you and Reid are feeling better. We missed you at the park.
You're such a good little helper Carlee. :)
