He Did It!!

Kevin completed the Seattle Half Marathon yesterday!

Waking up at 5:30am to eat breakfast and stretch.

Dropping Kevin off at the start line.

The weather was cooperating in the early hours and all seemed well, but quickly turned sour (think windy, rainy, and dreary), yet Kevin pushed through!

Abigail and I headed home while he ran, then came back around 9:30 to cheer him on at the finish line.  It was bad enough toting her in a baby bjorn with an umbrella and camera, so I can only imagine how Kevin felt braving this classic Seattle weather for over 2 hours!

But come rain or shine, we were there as a family when he completed in just under 3 hours!!



Kevin, I am so proud of your determination and accomplishment.

Whether it's work, personal goals, or your amazing abilities as a husband and father, this dedication spills over into all you do and is just one of the many reasons I am so blessed to call you my husband.

Congratulations on this amazing accomplishment, my love!

Minnie

I knew this would be a hard post to write, so I've been putting it off. On Monday morning, we said goodbye to Minnie. After months of weight loss I brought her into the vet early this week.    I had been noticing the weight loss, but it wasn't until a few weeks ago that I started to see how skinny and malnourished she was getting. The vet determined she was suffering from late-stage hyperthyroidism and her kidneys were shutting down.  It was a painful assessment; why I didn't notice it earlier and help her?  That thought still haunts me. But at 11am on Monday morning, through a mountain of tears, regret, and sorrow, I bid farewell to the most loyal friend I've ever known. Minnie,  You were the first piece to my "own" family.  I remember vividly the day I got you.  It was my 21st birthday and Rebecca and Steph came over bearing a gift (more specifically, a brown grocery bag).  I opened it and looked inside; there you were,...

Lake Wenatchee

Happy Birthday, Kevin! We spent an awesome 4 days on Lake Wenatchee this past weekend; relaxing by the lake, (attempting) to fish, playing in the water, and enjoying quality time together as a family.  Our parents joined us on Saturday afternoon to celebrate Kevin's birthday; a wonderful day full of family, food, and the great outdoors. Weekend highlights include Fish Lake on Friday (Abigail and i will not be invited back for the next fishing adventure...we may have mangled the line more than once), a trip into Leavenworth for pizza and dancing at the gazebo, a steak feast for Kevin's birthday, and relaxing by the bonfire that evening. Here are some pictures of our trip. Friday at Fish Lake "helping" Dad with his tackle While Kevin fished, Abigail and I fed Parmesan garlic pita chips to the ducks. At one point, we had a crowd of 10! Ladies of leisure on the lake  :) This sums up our fishing experience... Thursday evening f...
