November heatwave!

 What a treat to enjoy some summer heat in November!! Oh it was a perfect weekend with my favorite group of guys, we enjoyed every minute of this fabulous weather, and time together.

Amy and I hiked out at Hoffman park and it was so fun for me to walk the trails a bit. Nice to chat and connect too!

Jake and I had a movie and candy night while the other boys were out doing other things. It was so much fun snuggling, visiting about the movie, and eating treats together. Love these moments, and I love my Jman. 
Jake and I walked with Easton and his family to support him in his typeA diabetes Fundraiser. Jake had a great time supporting his best friend. Thankful for our Eman and his family.❤️
Last Saturday I went to check out WoodWind Park, and it was so awesome to dream big with my friend Meagan Frank and their family. So cool to check out their amazing place and hear all about their BIG plans moving forward for tubing, skiing, hiking, stairs and switchbacks, running and exploring. I can’t wait to support them and have it be a fun place for our family to go to and make memories together. Fun to feel excited about something new in our area!😊

It was such a great weekend to golf, all 5 guys took advantage of this opportunity to get out together one last time before the weather turns, I had fun taking a few pics of them. I’ll do another post just on their golfing swings and moments. 🏌️‍♀️ ⛳️ 
Kyle told us he wanted to surprise us last Sunday with a fun family activity and to be ready to go by 3:30p. We were all so excited and making so many wild guessing where we may be going! 😜
However, none of us guessed it.... we showed up at the Bottoms in Dunville. It was perfect!
Quality conversations and laughter, bonfire and sunset. I’ve got the best husband who is thoughtful, fun, and spontaneous! 


Family time mixed with beautiful November temps = Blessing!❤️ ☀️

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...
