Running & Me

 Photo Source

If I haven't told you already...I love running. I don't know why...It can be very difficult sometimes. I'm no marathon running mama, by any means, unless you count my monthly stats.

I have some friends who only enjoy running outside. They like to hear their feet hit the pavement and in the quiet of the morning hear the birds singing them on.

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ 

Seriously. I think I'll take a nap! I can't get through a run without an incredible beat thumping in my ears.  So here are five random running tunes from my iphone, and later this week I'll be thumping to these tunes and running along an Oregon Beach.  

Be jealous!

Anniversary & Boy Scouts

Today is my 22nd Anniversary to KT. Now that is a LONG time! But today, instead of choosing to spend it with me, moi he is spending it with a group of boy scouts doing this

It is just a day...and we do have TWO anniversaries

(That's right!  I married this man of mine TWICE!)

He told me:

"Don't worry, baby, we'll celebrate next week in Oregon, 

with your parents 

and Ladybug
in the RV.  

(and in the same breath) 

Do you mind if I bring my golf clubs?"

And that is how we roll...

Happy Birthday KT

Happy birthday, KT! 

What are you like 60? Seriously...Except I can't find one gray hair on your head. 

You suck! Just sayin'. 

Even though I am on a limited sugar kick, I'll even make you a birthday cake. 

Now that is LOVE! ♥♥♥

Just to clarify...The cake WON'T look like this.

But isn't it freaking cool?!

The 4th!

Happy 4th of July!!!  Today is my most favorite and beloved holiday.  Really, it is.  Above and beyond that of Christmas.  I love celebrating my patriotism, bbqing, making homemade ice cream, swimming, watching fireworks, hanging with family.  Need I say more?

I actually thought this informational/fun facts about the 4th of July was, well, kind of fun. I borrowed it from VA home loans, and they aren't paying me or anything.  (Just thought you should know).  Now I think I'll grab a Popsicle!

Sorry this doesn't show the whole thing. My HTML is limited. I guess you could click it...

Forever

Just last week a dear friend of mine lost here 16 year old son quite suddenly.  He was happy and healthy and then within a few days he had passed away.  It was sad, devastating and heart wrenching.  She is a true inspiration to me with her faith, strength and dignity.  I am so grateful for my Church and our beliefs in forever.  We believe that the family unit goes on forever: Fathers and Mothers, Sons and Daughters.  We even believe that she and her husband will be allowed to finish raising their son in the eternities.  It is faith and comfort from God and Jesus Christ that help us get through these difficult life experiences.  I am so grateful for this knowledge.  Thanks, Jeni, for being a true inspiration.
