I started running with my friend Amy back in February. It started out as just the two of us - but we quickly figured out that everything is more fun when you get to share what you love. Now, we have quite a few girls that regularly get up and come running with us in the morning. Amy just returned back to her native land of Idaho - and this is a quick pic we took of her last run. It's only been 3 runs since she's been gone - and I miss her dearly. See you at Spudman Amy (Yes I convinced her to do it with me!)
Left to right: Katie, Challis, Emilie, Christina, Kristen, me, Amy & lots of kids!
Meanwhile, my friend Jaimie has been sewing up a storm for her Etsy site. She convinced me to be her "model" - HA! But the girl has amazing camera skills - and took a picture of me that I actually like. So I'm posting it... as reminder to myself that at 6 months post baby - you can like yourself and your body... I must remember this!
Jaren has been really busy with flight school. He is in the Blackhawk portion of training. He is gone all day - almost every day. He gets to see me right before bed, and Alta during his midnight trips to check on her. Other than that - he gets to see her on the weekends. No worries... she is such a Daddy's girl. Always and forever!
We took a quick trip to Falling Waters State Park this past weekend. It was a lot of fun. We went with some of the family's here from our church. I truly feel lucky to have so many good friends from church. You have to kind of joke about this trip though. The waterfall is Florida's largest - at a mere 73 feet. It reminds me of something you would drive by on a freeway back home... but here - well it's State Park-worthy! At any rate - it was a good trip with good friends!
Once again, I'm sitting here feeling grateful. I am enjoying this period of my life, and thankful for those that are in it. I am one lucky girl!

Once I processed that it wasn't Hawaii or Germany, or anything on our list of choices - I was fine. Ft. Bragg looks like it will have plenty for us to do - and it will be return to veggie friendly places and people. All in all - it must be where the Lord wants us to go next... Can't wait to find out why!
