Ok, dudes. I've been streaking every single day this week. Sounds like fun, right? I love this Runner's World Run Streak challenge.. run at least one mile every day starting Memorial Day and ending July 4th. I signed up for a 5K on July 4th before I knew I'd be doing the streak. I ran … Continue reading Run Streak Week 1

Almost a year
July 8th will be a year since we moved to El Paso. I can't believe everything that's transpired in a year.... We rented our first house. It still doesn't feel 100% like home. Maybe it's because the furniture doesn't match, or that the carpet is an awful poop brown color. Maybe we're just still settling … Continue reading Almost a year
Fairy tales and four-days
I'm thankful that today, the day after a fantastic weekend, was not a let-down like so many days after holiday weekends are. We had a FABULOUS weekend! For starters, we've been watching the first season of "Once Upon a Time", a show based on all the fairy tales we learned as children. I admit, I … Continue reading Fairy tales and four-days
Silver & gold
Remember that little rhyme/song we learned when we were little? "Make new friends, but keep the old. One is silver and the other is gold." Well, maybe you didn't learn it, but I did. I kinda feel this way about running partners. I have to say I miss Gabi so so so soooooooooo muuuuuuuuuuuch. Like, … Continue reading Silver & gold
Summer nostalgia
I know it's not *technically* summer yet, but it's in the 90's in El Paso, so it feel like summer. Crazy to think we have over a month until the actual solstice! Anyway, I digress. Summer has great memories. I'm pretty sure I've blogged about this before. Here's a list of things I love about … Continue reading Summer nostalgia
A challenge for every day of the week
I have to say... I quite content right now as a stay-at-home wife/nanny/tutor/seamstress/entrepreneur????/short-term missionary/volunteer "Sunday school" teacher/dog trainer... I think some of the best jobs are ones whose titles you really can't pinpoint to a couple words. Even with Husband Man being gone for almost three weeks (he comes home in two days, wheeeee!!) I've … Continue reading A challenge for every day of the week
Staying missions-minded
As time goes on, it's becoming more and more evident to us that we are being called into missions. "Called" can be a term thrown around in the Christian circles.. but basically what I mean is that we have a very strong inclination and desire to go. Aaron still has four years left in the … Continue reading Staying missions-minded
Tales from the farm
Seriously. I think I need to start a new blog just about the things that happen while I babysit. Yesterday on our way back to the house from school, we stopped by Grandma and Grandpa's to wet down the pig. 1) They have a pig. 2) They have to wet it down??? Okay. So. Anyway. … Continue reading Tales from the farm
April 25
This is my first post as a 26-year-old! Somehow the birthdays lost their ring after 21.... However, my 26th birthday brought me this lovely piece from Aaron... And a totally awesome hair day... This won't happen again until maybe Christmas or something. I've logged 11 miles this week so far! I took Missy to McKelligon … Continue reading April 25
Almost a year: a smattering of thoughts
April 30 will mark a year since Gabi and I ran the Illinois Marathon! To this day I still can't believe we did it! I believe a year ago, I was in the best shape of my life! I had tons of energy, was running anywhere from 15-30 miles a week and I had it … Continue reading Almost a year: a smattering of thoughts
