Saturday, March 3, 2012. Daily Blessing March 2}. Blessing #2 was so much fun! One of the Camp Hope ladies is graduating and getting married.starting a new chapter of her life clean and sober.

Saturday, November 30, 2013. Lacing Up and Moving On}. WellI've recuperated from the Half-Marathon, enough that I thought it would be a good idea to sign up for my next Half. Yea.I know, I'm crazy! The first time is out of the way.time to move on. I learned so much from the first go around, that I plan on preparing based on the lessons learned. 1} Toenails are way over-rated: Clip them short before you run. 2} I tend to go out too fast: Practice pacing myself, so that I can finish strong. December 1 - 7.

Thursday, January 10, 2013. Miss Olivia was sent home from daycare with a tummy bug. Mallorye was at her first full day of work at St. Bernards and Matt was training some new guys at his job. It's important to me that they succeed and build their careers so that they can enjoy life with this little bundle of life.important enought that I was happy to leave work to take care of Miss O while mommy and daddy worked. Trying to get in a few zzzz's while Olivia rested. Tuesday, January 1, 2013. January 1, 2013.

Wednesday, December 25, 2013. Christmas 2013 Take Four}. I love the quiet of Christmas morning, before everyone wakes up, and there's just silence and the glow of the lights on the tree. It's like the chaos of the season finally settles on Christmas morning. Peace. I promise.Blake really does have an excited face.just not at 8am. Ahhthe beginning of a smile. He knew he was getting hunting stuff (it was the only thing he asked for) but he wasn't expecting a Mojo. She's not spoiled or anything. Troy Gramli...

Saturday, August 31, 2013. Trail Running.Metaphor for Life? This morning I took off on a long trail run and had no idea how God would use that run to show me some things.not necessarily new things, but just a reminder. I started around 9:15am and ran for an hour and a half.when I started I was confident, strong, excited about the journey ahead, but here are just a few things I learned along the way. I was able to make a pitstop at the Ranger Station and refill my bottle, but it cost me some time. Don't m...
