Mexico 2015

Cancun Mexico 2015
Kyle and I had an awesome time away this winter in Cancun! We enjoyed the change of routine and weather, and company of our greatest friends, Mark and Bethany. It was a week of fun memories that we will always cherish together. Take a peak at some fun pics!
 Our view from the room. We were so excited to be able to see the ocean right from our room!
 The beach! Probably my favorite spot of all.
 The pools were so nice and warm. This was one of our favorites!

Here are some fun close ups of the resort.


 This place served some amazing fish tacos! Mark, Bethany and I decided it was our favorite lunch spot. And it was right by the ocean, which I thought was so fun! The chips, salsa and guac were really yummy too!
Ocean view.

 One of my highlights of the week was walking the beach each day.
 Kyle and I had such a nice time getting away and relaxing in Mexico. The sun was so nice and warm!! Most mornings we went to breakfast with our swim suit on so we were ready to beach it for the day. I loved that! Love spending time with my guy.
 Kyle enjoyed swimming in the ocean and had fun with the big surf we had most of the week.
 A fun overlook of the resort. This is a great view of all the pools that we could swim in and it shows how close we were to the ocean! It really was a spectacular resort.
This still makes me SMILE! The guys came down to the lobby dressed and ready for supper to find out they wore matching shirts! Too funny!
Bethany and I planned to wear our matching tops for fun but we thought it was pretty funny the 4 of us coordinated. Great friends think alike!
Snorkeling time! We had fun on this catamaran as we headed out to our snorkel spot.
Loved being on the water!
Love them. We had an absolute BLAST together!
Snorkeling.
Soaking up time together!

Kyle thought maybe he could blend in with the Mexican bus drivers.
So Mark tried to tell Kyle he looks nothing like them, nor does he have the attire to blend in with them!


A few pics of just the two of us...

My partner in crime...Mango Tangos!
Blessed to have them in our lives. Life is so much fun together!

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...
