"The time has come," the Walrus said...

To Whom it may Concern:
We are moving! Unlike our half dozen or so previous moves, this time it is out of state! We will be Pitching our Tents in the Valley of the Wind, a.k.a. Casper Wyoming. Missy's Father is coming home from the rehabilitation center in August, and her Mother will be back teaching school in the fall, so we will be close by to help out. The Great Truck Packing Adventure is scheduled for the 29th of August, followed the next day by The Massively Monumental Moving March... er Drive? We have enjoyed being in Utah and getting to know so many of you who have made us feel like family, when most of our respective families were far away. We hope to see many, if not all of you, before we depart for our new Promised Land.

Do you remember when?

I am doing THE MEMORY post.

Here are the rules.
1. As a comment on my blog, leave a memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you know me a little or a lot, anything you remember! If we're only blogging friends, write about a post that is most memorable. If you don't have a blog and don't know how to sign in, please comment as anonymous.
2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll be sure to write one about you... either on your blog, in my comment box, or I will email you back!
3. If you know both Jeremiah and I please leave a memory of each of us. Jeremiah is really good about reading the blog and sometimes adding to it.
4. If you can't say something nice, don't say nothin' at all ☺

Would you Date Yourself??????

We had and interesting discussion at work today. One of the girls was telling us how she was listening to the radio and the question asked was if you were looking at yourself as someone else would you want to date yourself. I found this very interesting. I was very sad to realize that I wasn't sure if I would. But it really got me thinking about how I needed to be happy with who I was. I realize that there are things about myself I would love to change. That is when the old saying comes in "God grant me serenity to except the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can and wisdom to know the difference". So my new goal in life is to look at myself and love myself. Anyways I wanted to put this up for discussion to see what everyone else thinks.

4th of July

We had such a busy 4th of July. I am so thankful for our country and the freedom we have. I know it is was all designed by our Heavenly Father and if it wasn't for him we would not have our freedom as a country and a freedom to worship as we wish.

10k

For those who are interested here are the pictures of the 10k run I did. Did I run the whole way? (now imagine the voice of the lady with the really big, white teeth from 'So you think you can dance') YES I DID! Did I feel like dying and quitting? YES I DID! But I didn't. Here are my thoughts and feeling of the race. July 2.. Am I really going to do this. I don't think I can do this. What did I get myself into. Maybe I'll just run the 5k instead. July 3 after picking up my running pack.. I am really going to do this. I can't believe it. This is so exciting that I am really going to do this. I am going to die. July 4.. Start of the race... Why is everyone passing me this sucks. At least I am doing this... Going up the first hill.... Wow I can't believe people already are walking, I am glad I trained running up hills.... Around mile 2..... OH man a pregnant lady just passed me up.... Mile 4.... Yeah there is Jeremiah and the kids cheering my on. I hope I make them proud. This is for them... Mile 5 running up hill for the rest of the race.... I am going to die my knees hurt and I am going to die but I will wait till the race is over..... Mile 6... There is the finish line I think I will sprint the rest of the way. Here we go..... I ended up finishing in 1:16:36. The second I finished I felt great. I did it! There were two girls I seemed to play tag with throughout most of the race. I would pass them up because they were walking then a few minutes later they would pass my up because they started jogging again. In the end I barley finished behind one and the other finished about a minute behind me. I plan on running this again next year with the goal of getting a better time. Anyone want to join me?
