Much to Say About Nothing

So really I have nothing much to say. This is really for me just to empty my thoughts out~

Our weekend was a good one. Even though Josie has been coughing and had a green nose just like the rest of the kids around, we are standing tall. The doc. called in some meds for her and of course they kinda make her cranky. We vegged out all weekend, therefore putting me in a cranky mood....

Friday I got off early, so I ran before I picked Josie up from school. We played outside till JJ got home and decided not to go out to eat but order pizza instead. Bad decision! Neither of our stomachs can handle that kind of grease. JJ fished on Saturday to prepare for our Sunday School fish fry this coming week. Josie and I stayed in our pjs all day till we were forced to leave the house so we could pick up her RX. JJ came home and cleaned the fish. Josie was a little bit more brave this time wanted to touch them. I made heart shaped pancakes for supper to celebrate to special day. I of course had to, just had to, put chocolate chips in mine.

Church on Sunday was great as always! Bro. Jacky has been teaching on the Bride of Christ. Mom kept Josie after church so JJ and I could get some things around the house done. Well, he worked on his car all day and I cleaned and piddled around some. I actually got to paint a picture.

Monday I was off for President's day --- Josie and I just hung out and played at home. Didn't really do much. Went and bought groceries, took a nap, cleaned up some.... I will be so glad when it warms up so we can at least go outside and play.

I AM RUUUNNNIIINNNGGG!!!!

My sweet husband is taking me on a selfless trip for Valentines Day and our Anniversary.....all for me!!! I can not wait! A trip all about Jennifer????? What?? I have never had one of these! How awesome is this! How awesome is he for doing this! Ok, so we are going to Nashville, TN in April for the Country Music Marathon! He is going to wait on me for two hours while I run!

I have kinda made a commitment to myself to only run races that I feel support things that are close to my heart or things that I believe in....Not just raising money for silly stuff.

While dabbling around online one day I came across this race. It is raises money for the lymphoma and lukemia society. I was actually trying to find the color for the support of lymphoma. JJ's mom passed away when he was 16 years old due to a four year battle with lymphoma and lukemia. And since everyone in the world knows that pink is breast cancer awareness, I just really wanted my own color to support. ALSO, JJ's mom was an avid runner and a very athletic woman. Since I never actually met her, this is the one thing my mother-in-law and I can share and the thing that I can do in honor of her. This makes the race even that more special to me.

So here comes the training part. I have about 11 1/2 weeks to train for a 1/2 marathon. Thatis

13 miles. I am so ready! Some days are hard though. Especially when I want to eat junk!! Like last weekend~ I had two bday parties - And of course I had to eat the birthday cake at both of them! But my desire for coke is slowing fading away... that is totally God, because I love coke! HERE I COME!!!! RUN FORREST RUN!
