Anniversary Get-a-way!

Kyle and I had so much fun getting away for a few days to celebrate our 14th anniversary. We went to one of our favorite spots to sneak away together, the north shore!
This overlook was taken on our first hike of the week called Britton Peak.
We really enjoyed taking our time talking and being together. Often we'd look at each other and say, "It's so great that we love being together!" Although we think about the boys while we're away, we really have a blast just the 2 of us! I feel so blessed to have married my greatest friend. The one who knows me and loves me more then any other.
It was so pretty hiking in the woods together and the weather wasn't too cold! Love this guy soooo much!
It was really pretty how narrow the river had gotten on the Caribou trail.
Thankful that our love for each other is unconditional. That we help each other through the tough stuff in life and are each others biggest fans in reaching our goals and dreams in life. God knew exactly what He was up to...
A perfect match!
Got to our favorite spot where we dated and came to many times over the years with the boys and by ourselves...Caribou falls! We love being silly together! I dared Kyle to climb the falls like he does in the summer at these falls, but he chickened out. Boo!
Quiet moments together...
A time to refresh in our amazing room that had an incredible view of Lake Superior. We loved going from the indoor to the outdoor hot tubs! And I didn't challenge us to canon balls in the outside hot tub this year!
A new trail we hiked this year was Oberg trail. It was absolutely beautiful w 5 great views of Lake Superior.
Gorgeous Sunset.  Such a wonderful anniversary get-a-way! I will miss these quiet moments with Kyle as we quickly get back to the normal of everyday. Love you Kyle! Life with you is truly wonderful. Happy 14!

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...
