Giving blood, Saving lives

It's been over a year since I last donated blood.  The hubby and I were deferred back in June 2010 because we traveled to Mazatlan (malaria zone) and then of course I was pregnant, those vampire Dr's took enough blood to satisfy several blood drives!  Today was the first blood drive that we were eligible to particpate in at work.  I love donating and have been doing it since HS.  I feel like a better person when I give blood, knowing that I can help save the lives of 3 people every time I donate.
