a weekend worth repeating, which I have every intention of...

love when boys get along!
Josh has been helping grandpa transform our backyard. (out of selfish reasons, he is trying to earn money for a guitar so he can take lessons)

This is what I plan on repeating, at least once a year.


I really didn't think I would cry. I made it 13.1 miles with out stopping to walk once, and as soon as I saw the finish line and heard my name, I just lost it.
Jade said "awesome mom!" and "you smell like sweat, ew"

Jade and Josh both said they want to do some runs with me in the future after seeing me finish my first half marathon. Eddie kept saying over and over "mom! I saw you win the race! I saw you running and you win the race...and yeah, you were crying". Thank you to everyone who said I was crazy but awesome, I LOVED this!
