CAN YOU SAY 5.5?


"God has given me the ability. The rest is up to me. Believe, believe, believe."
- Billy Mills before winning the Tokyo Olympics 10,000 meters


I know, I know this is so boring but this is sooooo hard but rewarding! Brit and I went on our long run this morning and made 5.5 today. I hope the next 5 will come just as easy!

WE MADE THE 4 MILE CHALLENGE




WHOOHOOOOO!!!! I JUST WANT YOU TO SEE HOW HARD THIS IS FOR ME BUT I DID IT! I WAS SO EXCITED AND I THOUGHT, OK SO MAYBE IT CAN BE DONE! HOWEVER, MY OPTOMISTIC HUSBAND SAID...WOW, 13 MILES IS A LONG WAY....AND YOU ONLY WENT 1/3 OF THE WAY. SO WHOEVER SAID THE THEORY OF THE GLASS IS HALF EMPTY HALF FULL ISN'T TRUE! HOPEFULLY ALL OF YOU WILL INSPIRE ME TO KEEP GOING RIGHT????BRIT DID REALLY WELL TOO, SHE JUST HAD LOTS OF SIDE CRAMPS AND STOPPED AT MILE 3. DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY POINTERS?
I THINK WE NEED TO NAME OUR RACE AND HAVE T-SHIRTS MADE. LET'S ALL THINK OF A NAME TO CALL IT AND I'LL BE IN CHARGE OF THE T-SHIRTS. MY SUGGESTION IS "CHUNKY'S CHALLENGE" SINCE IT'S ON CHUNK'S 1ST BIRTHDAY. SO EVERYONE HAS A WEEK TO COME UP WITH A NAME AND WE'LL PUT THEM ALL ON A BLOG AND THEN EVERYONE CAN VOTE.

Texas Twister




Ok here's the big question for all you Texans.....

What did it mean to be a "widow maker"?

We had so much fun with Josh and Jake visiting this week and I can't believe it's already over. Here are a few pics from this really neat Texas hotel we stayed in while visiting Austin.

Dad and I loved our weekend with you! Congratulations to our graduates Jake and Emma! You are both so beautiful inside and out and we are so very proud of your accomplishments. Visiting the fire station was so much fun! To our sweet baby Christopher, we are so grateful to have another healthy precious grandson and we look forward to seeing you grow up to a handsome young man. The pictures we don't have but had an equally great time was of course our "Sweet Celebrations" party celebrating Jake's graduation, a delicious lunch at Carrabbas celebrating Emma's graduation with family, Justin our magnificent soccer player with his 3 awesome goals, and of course babysitting Chunky and Jackson...playing at the park and our walk to the Temple. We want to thank Emma and her Mom and Dad for a wonderful lunch after the Blessing. John and Emma (and Brian) for all your hard work making your home so beautiful! Thank you so much for such wonderful memories.
