RUNNING!

So today I went running which isn't too unusual but this time it didn't kick my butt!!! I'm so excited. It seems lately whenever I would go running, I would get winded and I never really got into a groove. Today I finally realized that I was just trying to keep too fast of a pace. So I slowed down a bit and was able to keep going without having to catch my breath. I feel great like I got a really good workout. This coming spring I am possibly going to run The Wasatch Relay race ( I think that is what it is called). Right now I am an alternate until someone drops out. In the next couple of weeks Im going to have to pick up my pace and really start training so wish me luck! I will definitley need it!!!

I am so excited that you are running again! So am I!! I am going to run a 10k with a bunch of girls from work in a couple of weeks. Crazy but I am slowly getting there. I want to run a couple of half-marathons, one in Jan and one in Mar. Thinking about the marathon in SLC in Apr but I don't know yet. Well keep it up!!

Dog and Cat...Stevens, that is.

Lately, Carl is the only one who gets naps. (unless it's Sunday...then Trevor and I both demand one) If I was a big, hairy dog, I would expect naps everyday also and would just lay down where ever I wanted to (even it it was in everyone's way). You can just catch a glimpse of my moccasins. And trust me they.are.cute. I love  madewell . My new favorite singer this week? Cat Stevens. It took me watching the movie Harold and Maude to really listen to his music. Wow. And hey, I'm not going to be shy.  I'm going to sing out to the wild world that I love his songs. (if you also like Cat Stevens, then you'll understand the previous sentence...)

Prayers

We have just received news that earlier today my sister Amy and her family have been in a car accident. Tim and the five kids are okay, although banged up, but Amy is in the ICU. They hit hail while driving and the car rolled 3 times and Amy was ejected from the car. All we know so far is that she has broken ribs and  punctured lungs. Please, please please pray for her and her family. Thank you.

Ralph the dog.

Morning at my house is so bright and lovely~that is, as long as it's not snowing or preparing to snow. I made Annabelle open the curtains first thing this morning. When my mornings start out like this, warm and bright, it just makes me happy. Today Joshua decided to be a dog. A dog named Ralph. And Ralph loves raspberry sherbet. Ralph got really tired and is now resting while watching Shrek 2. Not my favorite movie but whatever... I think I misspoke yesterday when I wrote that I/we had big decisions to make. There's nothing out of the ordinary except for, you know, the usual. And the fact that we found out yesterday that both girls need braces; Emily now or at least soon and Annabelle in a year or so. And Stephen has possibly two developing cavities. At this moment in time, I am very, extremely, incredibly grateful for dental insurance. That may not be the case in a few months but I'm not thinking about that...and I'm trying to no...
