But as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD.” - Joshua 24:15

Focusing on what matters...


This Sunday is the day!  The day that myself and many others have been preparing for...to participate in a 13.1 run to help raise money and awareness for cleaner water in Africa!

For so long, all throughout my training I have been so focused on myself and how I am feeling and honestly, just being down right negative towards running.  Running is hard for me, but when I first signed up for the run I was pumped, could not wait to start training, and was so excited about the true reason that I was running.

This run is not about me, it is about raising money for clean water in Africa, something that I know that I take for granted.  Now it is time to take the focus off of me and to focus on the true reason for this run! 

Please be in prayer for myself and for the many other runners who will be running this Sunday

Please be in prayer for GREAT weather to run in

Please pray against any injuries, pray for safety

and Please pray for lots of people to give financially to this wonderful cause!

If you would like to come and support all that are running, let me know and I can get you more information!

Watch out world!

Aspen is now in KINDERGARTEN!

She had a great day and looked great in her uniform.
Now you might be wondering why Aspen is already in school, right?
Well she goes to a Public Charter School (where he daddy works) and it is a year round school.
It's great that it already started because I was tired of hearing her say, "Can I go to school...over and over again!"
I am so glad that she was excited and still is...and yes, they wear uniforms, I love it!

So, she had a great first day!
Went to school...then we met up with Papa and Grandma afterwards and went out to lunch at Culver's
Then my mom, Aspen, and I went and saw "RAMONA AND BEEZUS!"  If you have not seen that movie, YOU NEED TO!  (Especially mothers and daughters!)
After the movie we came home and made Aspen's favorite for dinner, Orange Chicken!

We are so proud of our little girl!
