Thought I would sneak in one last post for 2007. We just got back from Christmas in Texas. We enjoyed time with family in Austin and Abilene. Tomorrow we make one last road trip for the year to Fulton, MO to visit Derrick and Naomi. We really enjoy road trips - it is relaxing for us. And it is a good thing we like each other so much! :)
2007 has been a good year. We hope it has for you, too. 2008 is just around the corner! We'll be back in the new year with other pictures, news and going-ons.
Happy New Year!

Memphis St Jude Half Marathon
We ran the Memphis St Jude Half Marathon last Saturday, December 1st. Thankfully the weather was kind to us. It was chilly to start off, but perfect runnning weather by about mile three.
I ran my slowest ever half marathon. But given my lack of preparation :( ...it was expected. I ran in honor of Sullivan Faarar who is a sweet little boy fighting leukemia. Sully is receiving care at St. Jude's along with so many other precious children. We pray for his full recovery.
I'll share this one picture that was taken while we ran. This is on Beale Street...maybe mile two or three. I look happy!
The other picture I received was taken at mile 11 or 12. I look like I am about to fall over! At that point, many people were gathered on the side lines encouraging the runners. They yelled 'You're almost there! You're looking great!' I thought that was probably a lie. Now I know! I was NOT looking great!
