Happy Birthday to KATY!

This past weekend we got together to celebrate another important birthday! Although Katy's real birthday is on October 6th we celebrated it a little early so that Steph and the girls could go down to the coast area to see Rob. Rob has gone down with his job to help with the hurricane relief efforts, and the last time that he was sent to help with one of these disasters he had to miss Katy's 1st birthday. Steph wanted to make sure that Rob didn't miss out again. Here are a few pictures of the birthday bash!

Another Lake Adventure!

Spent some time relaxing at Lake Texoma again this evening. Brynn jumped in the water, Mamu and Mark went fishing, and I relaxed and took some fun photos of it all. Check out the big catch! Brynn loved it!

15K Sherman Arts Fest Run

SURPRISE!!!

Surprise Mark! Happy Birthday!

We threw Mark a surprise birthday party at his favorite restaurant, La Mesa, Friday night. He was so surprised and speechless! We had a great time, and we were so happy that everyone was able to come eat with us!

Philippians 4:13

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

We successfully completed the 15k run in the arts fest this morning! It was such a challenge but we are both so happy to have completed this task and reach a huge goal that we had set for ourselves! It is so amazing to have run the entire way and see that finish line. We felt so many emotions, but we were determined to not give up and to complete the run. And that we did, hand in hand across the finish line! And much to our surprise we both won medals in our first ever 15k run. The results were as follows:

Lindsey: 1hr. 36min. 2sec.
Mark: 1hr. 36min. 3sec.

Preparing for the Sherman Arts Fest Run

We have successfully made it up to running a little over 7 miles, but we are really going to challenge ourselves Saturday morning at the arts fest run and go for the 15K. That is about 9.3 miles. Hope that we can do it! It's going to be real tough.

Halfway to the Half Marathon!

Went out tonight for an hour long run that got us up to 6 1/2 miles! I can't believe the progress that has been made. We have made it to the halfway point and will now continue to head for a total of 13 miles.

Yippee!

We ran 6 miles last night!!!! But, still feeling so tired today.

Making Progress

We did a 5 mile run tonight for our half marathon training!
