Buena Vista Aug5 🏔☀️

Beautiful start to my day running on the trails and daydreaming about fall running and 2021 running ideas!😜So hoping races are back on next year! My body is feeling so strong and ready to roll into the next plan, trying to hold back, being content where God has me right now. Check out these morning views from Buena Vista!!

I hope I never ever forget all the amazing places I’ve run on this trip. When I get home and struggling getting back into my old routes again, I hope I can close my eyes and visualize this place.🏔❤️
When I got back I had a great breakfast with the guys and we packed up for a nice short hike with Nana and GG. Our beginning hike view on Lost Lake Trail.

I love wildflowers and I saw so many of these purple ones, I think God was saying to me, “Hey, I love you!” 
Not too far into the hike GG had to head back and not continue on the trail with us. Nana continued and did well! She had trouble with the elevation too but kept moving forward! 
Here’s our crew! Look at the blue skies! Another beautiful day today. 
Our view before turning back. It was one of our shortest hikes on our trip so far but just what we needed today, it was fun visiting with Nana too!
After lunch we took off for our afternoon surfing adventure! The guys spent 4 hours here learning how to surf, meeting new friends, and starting to get the hang of it by the end! Fun to watch!





The guys were glad they wore wet suits in the river, made it much more comfortable and kept them from getting chilled in the water. So many great smiles from the thrill of it!
I went into town for a bit and enjoyed some solitude! Stopped at my new favorite ice cream spot, Louies and had a treat! Then went shopping for a bit before heading back. It was a much needed “guy” break.😉
Back to enjoy spaghetti together and playing cards. A nice way to wrap up our hiking and surfing adventure! I think everyone will fall asleep fast tonight.

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Romans 15:13

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
