I'm Back!!!

Vacation was incredible!!!  I did miss my husband tons, and I am glad to be back with him, but I did have an awesome time!  While in Fl. we went kayaking, snorkeling, fishing, swimming, played sand volleyball, played spades (and beat everyone, right mar???),  and ate some good food. I left my underwater camera there and it is on its way back so I will post those pictures later, but here is what I have so far. 

My favorite  far left is Ramsey , JD and Mar's friend

We loved this

I'm off!!!

Tomorrow starts 2 weeks away from my husband and puppy.  That is terrible and he is so sweet to let that happen. I am headed to FW to get my hair done on Wednesday (gotta have good hair for vacation!!) then headed to Tyler, TX to meet up with one of my very best friends from HS Mariann Bulger, now Mariann Weathers.  We are then off the Fayetteville, (probably spelt that wrong) AR for the weekend. Then Sunday morning we (Mar and I) are driving with her parents to Florida for a week!!!! I am so excited!  I am pretty much going on their family vacation, I kinda feel bad, but Mar told me not to and so I am not!  We will have a blast. She is a precious friend of mine who I don't always get to see so it will be fun for us to get to hang out for a week.  On Thursday of that week her husband JD and his friend Ramsey (spelling??) are heading up for the weekend and then us 4 will drive back to Tyler on Sunday. Monday I will head back to Abilene to see my husband!!! I will post pictures when I get back.

Today Dan had his first Chem 2 test and thinks he did good, so praise the Lord for that. I have put in some applications so we are keeping our fingers crossed for that. 

So what's going on with running???  Well a lot... I have been having problems with my whole left side (knee, ankle) and my right knee.  The pain in only getting worse.  Well I researched all kinds of stuff and I have found I need to be running on grass as much as I can especially since we are running such high miles. Also I need to start walking every now and then so lessen the pounding on the body. I tried both today and it was great. I also ran at 3:30 in the afternoon and it was still great. 

Guess that's all for now... have a good week!!

Lately

Dan and I @ the Zoo

For the 4th weekend, my whole family met in FW. My older brother's family and my little brother and his girl friend, Jordan.  My dad smoked meat all day Friday and we had a big dinner that night.  Saturday morning Zach and I FINALLY got to run together and ran 10 miles. It was a blast we talked the whole way and it was not bad at all. We ran from my parents house to Dan's parents house.  Then we rushed to shower and eat breakfest to head to the FW Zoo. We had so much fun. We had Stan's son, Logan with us and it was his first time to the zoo. He was excited to see the animals except the monkey's, they scared him.  Oh yeah and huge news..... I am in the middle of getting my teacher certification, and to do that I have to pass a test to teach certain  grade levels.  Well I took the EC-4 test last Wednesday and on Monday got news that I PASSED!!!!  I was so excited.  Honestly it is a hard test.  They always have it where 2 answers are correct, but which is more correct????  So I was pumped I passed! Below are pictures from the weekend.
