22years!💞+Colorado Trip🏔

 On January 5th, Kyle and I celebrated our 22nd anniversary!! Of course our anniversary landed on a crazy school and basketball day, so our celebrating was limited. We knew our Colorado trip was right around the corner though so we weren’t too disappointed. On Tuesday Jan 23rd, we flew out to Colorado to spend time together at Sonscape Retreats! It has been an incredible week together.


Our view
This is our view right from our room. Every morning this week we wake up to Pikes Peak and the gorgeous sunrise!
Psalms 121 
I lift up my eyes to the mountains, where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord. Maker of heaven and earth. He will not let your foot slip- the Lord watches over you- the Lord will keep you from all harm- he will watch over my life- forever.
A few trail runs this week!
11 Mile Canyon where Kyle enjoyed some cold plunging and we enjoyed hiking together.


Manitou Incline Complete! ✅ This is a wild hike that we have done before but never in the winter! It was no joke once you got close to the top! Ice and snow covered steps made the last 1,000 steps a challenge… but you know I love challenges!
Made it!! Fun to hike/ trail run down to the parking lot to meet up with Kyle. 

Crinkle Creek was a new spot we checked out, this ice castle was soooo cool!
Pikes Peak by train made our rest day extra enjoyable for both of us and the views are so incredible!



Lots of resting, reading our bibles, meeting with our counselors, prayer time, play time, and  reflection. A much needed PAUSE on life before heading back home to a busy season of life and family. 

Praying as we go home that God will remind us each day-
“ I will be with you.”
❤️

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
