Week in Review 2/2

Week in Review this weeks blog is going to be all about our weekend in Minneapolis doing Ames and Emily Bryant's wedding! Kyle and I had the best time seeing everyone from International Falls, Mn where we served in youth ministry for 5 years~
Saturday morning long run was really special and so nice to get to run somewhere new! I loved my view along the Mississippi River and so many people were out running too which was fun. 
Alma Hotel was where we stayed and it was so wonderful. The hotel is located above the restaurant and the food was excellent.  It was nice to be within walking distance too of where the wedding was!
 Starbuck's Coffee and Massages on Saturday morning was a great way to start our day together. We got a couples message for the first time and I got the giggles and couldn't stop laughing for the first part! Good thing I relaxed after a few minutes and Kyle and I both really enjoyed it.  Starbuck's coffee really is my favorite too!
 The Machine Shop was so beautiful. I really hope one of our boys gets married here because it was perfect and magical. The wedding was so God centered and I loved the music they chose for the service.
 After the wedding we went upstairs for cocktails and wine and got a chance to visit and laugh with wonderful friends. It was just a perfect set up.
 This crew holds a very special place in Kyle and my heart and we just felt a part of our souls being refreshed by being with them. So many wonderful memories shared, some really crazy and some really sweet, but most of them really funny. We just laughed and laughed thinking back to our 5 years of ministry with these great people.
 Dressing up is really fun and I enjoyed wearing my glittery black dress and high heels for a night. Kyle and I had the best time out and about Minneapolis this weekend!
A fun weekend with family God chose for us when we chose to follow His leading to do ministry in International Falls, Mn. To those in ministry, I highly encourage you to allow God to show you where to serve Him, and be willing to go anywhere He leads. If you do, God will bless you more then you could ever imagine.
Congratulations to the sweetest couple, our Ames and Emily. Praying for them to have the best Journey together and that they will hear God's voice and follow Him with all their heart. 
February is here!

Grandmas Marathon- getting faster!!

3:00:38 Grandmas Marathon PR!! I’m still smiling…things are coming along nicely in my marathon expertise! Haha, Im just being silly but I really am learning more as I go-what works best for me, what doesn’t.  June 17th was a blast!! Cramps hit strong in my left calf around mile 18 and then my pace got more limited as I went, I was so scared I would pull something that I tried to find the balance of push and hold up! Super proud of this race and the battle I fought. The marathon is a beast and continues to challenge me! Games ON still for the CIM Marathon on December 3rd. 😁First up though, trails and less miles for me for awhile. My friend Leah is a true gem, someone I really enjoy sharing running miles and life with. Kyle, Micah and I enjoyed time with Leah’s family in Duluth. Her sister Sara and brother-in-law Mike made us feel so welcome and special!  I’ve been getting faster and continue to PR each year since my late 30s, in fact the last time I raced Grandmas Marathon I ran a 3:16

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

Friday came quick!😅

 These full days have gone by super fast this week. Teaching full days to students who need my full attention, getting over a cold this week, spending time with all the boys each night, and keeping up with Kyle’s busy church schedule has had us all feeling like it has been a quick week! Micah and Caleb had a tennis meeting this week to get ready for their spring season, Kyle and I are really excited to cheer them on soon! Maybe sooner with how warm our weather has been this winter. It’s been fun to hear that Micah has been at the courts a lot already with his buddies, praying he has a solid season ahead for his Junior year.  Micah will be 17yrs old next Tuesday! It’s so crazy to think I have an 18yr old, almost 17yr old, 15yr old, and 12yr old….I wish I could keep them little.❤️ Each season of life looks so different. I never imagined this season looking the way it does. Working full time was never a dream of mine with such a busy family. However, God is so BIG. He is so much better in
