Visiting Nana in Denver!



We had a great time visiting Nana in Denver, Colorado! Kyle, Andrew and I loved the warm weather! It was in the 50s for most of our visit, which felt like a heat wave! It was so fun to tour Denver and take a peak at all Nana has been busy doing. Andrew and I enjoyed seeing the seminary where Nana goes to classes and studies. We also had fun seeing her apartment that was full of books and study supplies! Wow, are we proud of her! She is really doing well and loving the environment she is surrounded in.


As a bonus, we also had a chance to see GG (Grandpa) and play with him as well! Andrew had a great time playing with a few of his new toys he recieved with GG at the apartment. GG and Andrew always have fun laughing and playing together.


During our visit, Kyle and I participated in the Midwinter Conference held by our Covenant Church Denomination. We enjoyed worshipping and fellowshipping with other youth pastors and their wives and kids. This has always been such an encouraging time for Kyle and I to connect with others who have been called to serve Christ in youth ministry. Andrew loved dancing to the worship music and praising God with us! A lady came up to me while we were singing and said, "Someday we will all dance like your little boy in heaven!" It brought tears to my eyes that Andrew was all over the place raising his hands and spinning around without a care who was looking. Wouldn't it be great if we could all dance like Andrew and praise God so freely? My encouragement to you is to dance for Jesus today, we don't have to wait until we are in heaven!


Andrew and I left with GG a few days earlier than Kyle for home. Kyle stayed and took some classes and came home later in the week. We had a great time visiting Nana and going to the Midwinter Conference. We are back to very cold weather here in the Falls. It has been well below zero for over a week now. We are taking this time to rest and relax together before our baby soon arrives in our home. Right now I am 36 weeks pregnant and moving slowly! Thank you for those who have been praying for me and this new creation inside of me. I am so thankful that baby #2 is staying in my tummy longer than our little Drew did. Though I am getting uncomfortable, I am so thankful for getting closer to full term. Please continue to pray for delivery and health to this baby. Keep checking our BLOG as we will update you with baby news soon!

Getting better and getting ready to go home!

Hey There! We thank all of you so much for all of your prayer support through this entire process. Go sure had His hand in this from the beginning. Anna and Micah are both doing just great. Yesterday was a hard day for Anna, She was very tired and had a hard time as the Doctors began to take her off of some of the pain meds she was not feeling good. She began to get a high temp,but that was all taken care of by early in the night and she slept great. She will be again trying to get of the IV pain meds and move to pills, if this goes well today we will be on our way home to see Drew tomorrow. Anna and I are both really loving the calm personality that God gave to little Micah as we know the high energy that Drew has waiting for us at home. We can't wait to see his little smile again and hear all of his animal noises and cars sounds. It will be so great to see the way that God grows these two boys only 17 months apart. It will be crazy and great all at the same time. Pray ...

Big Bro Twin Cities Champion/Little Sis Big Woods 1/2 Marathon Champion

My brother and I are the crazy runners in our family! We took on the Twin Cities Marathon challenge on October 7th and trained like mad to get ready for the event. We began the morning feeling great and ready to take on the challenge before us, yet not knowing only one of us would finish. Ben was taking on his first marathon and was looking forward to finishing and enjoying this wild adventure! I however have done a few of these already and was aimed to kick some butt in the process. So, different goals, but the same idea in mind-lets run the race for Christ. The race did not go as planned for me. The weather was extremely hot and humid and it totally took over my body. All I can really remember is thinking, "Wow it is really hot and I am really sweating!" With little to drink I passed out at mile 10 of the marathon! My time at that point was 1 hour 7 minutes..... on track for an amazing marathon. Truly discouraged I attempted to get back in the race to pass out AGAIN at mil...

Lately  I have been asked by many- “Now that you’ve accomplished one of your biggest goals, what’s next??” and to be honest I have been really soaking up my 2:58:01 marathon accomplishment and feeling extremely grateful my body felt so strong and healthy for that race. I will never take for granted a healthy body… many of you know my journey has included some pretty tough injuries along the way. So first, I really haven’t hurried to find a “next goal” but have sat in awe and thankfulness. All that to say I am a goal kinda girl and love a good challenge. So on Jan 1, 2024 I signed up to race the Javelina Jundred with some of my greatest running buddies! It will be my 2nd 100miler and this time will be held in Arizona (not Iowa) where it will be very hot. My goal tho will be to have a blast with running friends and finish the race- different then a road race goal….  I really love a good challenge!!  easy trail runs have started….and at the perfect time when the wild flowers...
