Our theme for 2012 at Harvest is "Get it done", based on Ephesians 2:10, which says, "For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." Works do not earn us salvation, rather they should be a product of salvation. In the shuffle … Continue reading A work in progress

Whew: a general update.
That's about all I can say about the past couple weeks. I apologize in advance if this is not all that coherent. It's been a little hectic with my increasing hours at work and only having one working car. This week I've opened three days in a row, so I take Aaron to work, head … Continue reading Whew: a general update.
Spring in January
Ahhhh. It's a LOVELY 70* here today. I don't even care if I'm rubbing it in to all you folks in Illinois... if we have to live in the desert against our will, we need to get something in return! 😉 Jess and I went on a walk around the neighborhood today and I might … Continue reading Spring in January
Race Recap — Ft. Bliss Half Marathon
Running in Texas ain't so bad, folks. Aaron and I ran the Ft. Bliss Half Marathon (13.1 miles). I was going into it pretty undertrained... I ran 8.6 miles on December 13, 11 on Sunday, and other than a few 3-5 mile runs I really wasn't racking up much mileage. I've been spinning two times … Continue reading Race Recap — Ft. Bliss Half Marathon
Like a boss
This week I had a breakthrough at work. Today was my first "good" day in a long time. Not "okay" or "not bad" but "good". I think with all the change and uncertainty surrounding our cross-country move and finances, I've been on edge. Life changes take some getting used to, but this one's been six … Continue reading Like a boss
Six months in El Paso: a photoblog
I put this together on Friday, but waited until Monday to post. We've been in El Paso for exactly six months today. Um, wow. It doesn't seem like that long at all! It feels like the whole cross-country-move is still "new" in my mind. Enjoy! July August Had an interview and got hired at my … Continue reading Six months in El Paso: a photoblog
Holters, Headaches, and Hunger Games
Today I went to the cardiologist for my second appointment. I had a stress test on the treadmill, and I kind of laughed to myself because the nurse wanted to get me to my target heartrate, which is 166. From my experience, this only happens when I'm running or biking hard. After the stress test, … Continue reading Holters, Headaches, and Hunger Games
Fear of failure
I've had a major breakthrough recently that explains, well, a lot. I have a crazy fear of failure and a major lack of commitment... I know it's only human, but it fuels a lot of my decision making. I went to Bradley because I was afraid I couldn't afford or be successful in med school. … Continue reading Fear of failure
Race schedule bandwagon
I couldn't help but be motivated by all my running blogger friends who are posting about their 2012 race schedules. I have also been inspired to keep an actual running journal, though I will use the journal I have for more than just running. I want it to record so many things from 2012... feelings, … Continue reading Race schedule bandwagon
2012
2012 Events We go "home" to Illinois in February for a visit. I turn 26 in April. We celebrate four years of marriage in June. We celebrate nine years of togetherness in July.
