First 5K!!!!!!

What an awesome weekend! It will go down in the book of awesomeness! After 9 weeks of training, I completed my first 5K! Yes me! Can you believe it? This coming from a person who never ever ran.  I am so excited.  I had a challenge in front of me and I took and ran...literally!    

Bryn trained with me also.  Here she is with Matt after she ran the 3.1 miles. We are so proud of her!



 Here Bryn is running...right before the end of the race.  She did a great job training and preparing for the race..even when she was on vacation!

 Here are some picture of my cheering crowd! They were there at the end of the race and they met me half way through and cheered me on. I was so excited to see them at the halfway point...more motivation to keep on running!
Here I am at the end of the race with Matt...all sweaty and hot.  Thankfully Tropical Storm Beryl was out on the Atlantic, so the day was nice and overcast. Perfect for me, since I normally train at six in the morning...I am not used to the shining sun. I am so thankful for Matt...he was so supportive of me the whole way through my training!
 Here I am with Bryn, and Marilyn (Alison my other training partner was out from an injury) before the race.  We trained together for 9 weeks...through good days and bad days...mornings where we barely could get up and days where we were hurting bad.  I am so proud of all of us.  What a huge accomplishment!

Gratitude Friday

Haven't done a gratitude Friday in a long time. It is nice to take a moment and realize what God has done in your life. 1. Thankful for Matt's new car. When the enemy tried to turn something good into bad, the Lord's provision overrides. 2. Thankful for all of Judah's curls. 3. Thankful for the good report at the neurosurgeon's office on Monday. We are believing for a easy repair of the malformed artery. 4. Thankful for the rain that just came down...so cleansing. 5. Thankful for His presence and His voice. 6. Thankful for my boy turning five. Oh, who knows what adventures we have before us in the future. I can't wait.

Embrace The Camera

This is the first time that I am doing Embrace the Camera. Head over to one of my favorite blogs ...www.andersonfamilycrew.blogspot.com ...and check out her Embrace the Camera day. Her goal is to have a day where you just post pictures of YOU and your kids or anyone special in your life. I have found we have had whole days, outings, vacations where I don't appear in any pictures...so sad right? One day my kids will look back and wonder where I am...haha, behind the camera. Well, that's not good enough. So, here I am. Embracing the camera with my favorite people in the world. After church on Sunday, Esther wanted to take a picture of all of us. This is an impromptu picture. I love these people. After I wanted to snap a picture of one of my favorite people...my boy William. So sweet. I love this little man...toothless and all. Thanks Emily, for continuing with the Embrace the Camera. I finally did it!
