Burnin Luv
‘Oh Man’…
…is Cooper’s new favorite thing to say. Atleast it’s better than ‘holy crap’, which he said for no reason the other day when Uncle Todd came to visit. We’re still trying to figure out where that one came from.
I did it!
That’s me (and Jen) crossing the finish line of the 3M Half Marathon! I ran 13.1 miles in 2:16:26 (2 hours, 16 minutes and 26 seconds). My goal was to stay under 2:30:00. Yes, the clock in the picture shows 2:18:48, but that’s gun time, not chip time. The start line is about the same [...]
Twenty Five and Twenty Six Months
I think I’m finally catching up on things. I’m still waiting on some pics from Tahoe and some from my mom from this past week. Once I get those posted, I’ll let you know. For now, here are Cooper’s last two letters. Enjoy!
Twenty Five Months:
Dear Cooper,
On December 20th, you turned twenty five months old. [...]
I’m baaack!
Hello internet, it’s been awhile. Well, we completed our second ‘tour of Texas’ in a month just before the New Year. Needless to say, I’ve been taking it easy for a few days, trying to recover. Jeff went back to work today for the first time in two weeks, so things should be back to [...]
Eat my dust, Nike +
Happy Thanksgiving!
This morning, Jeff, Ana (my sister-in-law) and I ran in the Fort Worth Turkey Trot 10K, www.fwtrot.org. My unofficial time was 01:03:17, much better than my time during the Nike + Human Race this past August. My longest run so far is still 8.25 miles, so 13.1 miles (half-marathon) still seems like an obscene distance. [...]
Mileage Update
So, a couple of months ago, I wrote about how I ran 53 miles in one month. Well, I thought I’d give you an update, now that I’m training for my first half-marathon (13.1 miles). In the last four weeks, I have run a total of 68 miles. Crazy, huh? I’ve started getting up early [...]
Today
Today you are You,

Power Update
As I mentioned here, Fred and Beth left for Houston on Friday. They were about eight miles from home when they received a call from a neighbor telling them that the power was restored! Thank you to all who prayed for all of us during and after the storm.
Empty Nest
Well, it seems like forever since my last post, my apologies. You can blame it on Hurricane Ike. Two weeks ago today, we took in our ‘refugees.’ Jeff’s brother and sister-in-law, Robert and Becky, and their dog, Maggie, and his parents, Fred and Beth, and their dog, Lady, came to stay with us to wait [...]
