Week in Review Fast February!

Lots of Substitute teaching lately- I have been subbing a lot lately in the district and I really enjoy it. This is a pic before the 1st graders came in for the day. I always walk around and pray for the kids before they come.
 Conferences and Caleb helped paint! The guys had great conferences last week and we are so proud of them for their hard work and great attitudes about their teachers and friends and what is happening each day at school. Caleb had fun helping paint this picture in the library!
 Like the good old days, joining youth group for a night! Last Wednesday we had fun joining Kyle as he took over youth ministry for a night. Just like the good old days for us as we were all there as a family playing with the youth kids. Such great memories of doing life with the youth kids for 19 years!
 Duke is 60 lbs and had a great checkup! Duke had a checkup and was such a great boy getting his shots, we can't believe he is already so big!
 Favorite quotes this week. 

Little Dribblers Last day of Little Dribblers for our family. These years are going by so fast.
 Visiting my parents Last weekend we enjoyed the day with my parents. We played games, went for a walk, ate soup and talked all day. It was a nice day to connect after not seeing them for a long time. We missed the rest of our crew as they were at Winter Retreat. I love Jake's face, so happy to be with grandma.

 Sunday Morning long run photo- each Sunday morning in 2020 I will be taking a photo of what draws my attention as being a blessing to me on my run. Last Sunday, this tree was beautiful!
Today is Leap Day and Tomorrow will be March 1st. These days are going by so fast! We will be leaving for Bluefin Bay tomorrow afternoon as a family until Wednesday evening. Excited to post about our mini get away! We are all looking forward to a little break.

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...
