Well, time is flying by and here it is, 2 months since my last post. We have been more busy than ever so I will touch on some of the highlights from the last 2 months.
School started for all of us (the kids and I) at the end of August. Sadie is in the 7th grade, Cody is in the 4th grade and Jackson and Greg are in the 2nd grade. They are all doing great this year at helping around the house and being more responsible for themselves. I am in my senior year in the dental hygiene program at Idaho State University. I had an instructor tell us last week that our program has to be the hardest bachelors program in the nation - I would agree. I will not bother you with a list of why I am so stressed, just know that I am really busy and can't wait to graduate in May.
September was a good month. On the 12th of September I ran my first ever 5k. That is 3.1 miles for those who don't know. I had trained since July with my friend Tasha. We slowly worked our way up to be able to run that far and ran in a race together to say that we had. It was a fun, and exhausting day.
For anyone who knew me growing up you are probably a little surprised that I would do this. I used to think the cross country runners were crazy. I have to admit though that I really grew to love running and felt such wonderful benefits from doing it. I can't wait to get back into a routine with it after school gets done in the spring.
This is right at the start of the race. I was feeling a little competitive with all the people around, so we kind of started off faster than we should have.

Sadie in Young Women's??! No way! Tell her happy birthday from us. And congrats on your 5K - that's quite an accomplishment!
Thanks again, Katherine, for inspiring me to run that 5K! It was such a great experience (the training, that is) and the race felt like such an accomplishment!
Good luck with school and all that your family is up to!
We're so excited to have Sadie in YW!

Wow ! Good job on the 5k... that sounds like a really long ways to run. I had to run to my car from a store the other day cuz it was raining and that was enough for me... they don't give awards for that tho. Oh well.
Good job, sis!
