13.1

Sunday December 9, 2012 I completed the Dallas Half Marathon. It is something I never thought I could or would do. In June, I started running with my neighbor, Holly. She has done one full marathon and a couple of halfs. After a couple of months of running together, she started encouraging me to sign up for the Dallas Half Marathon. I DID! We trained together and ran the whole thing together. My goal was to complete it in 2 hours and 30 minutes. Our final time was 2 hours 27 minutes!!

My best friend, Marci did the run too. We didn't run together, because she runs much faster than I do!

This was her first half marathon since having twins.

 

The Finish Line!!

 

After the Run....with our medals!

When I got home Kegan and Parker asked, "Mom, did you win?" My response "I got a medal...so YES!" 

Thanksgiving on the Farm 2012

Every other year, since Kegan was born, we have made the LONG drive to Southern Illinois to visit Kyle's family for Thanksgiving. The drive was easier this year because the kids are older and can entertain themselves in the car.  Parker did ask 6 times in the first three hours if we were almost there. But not a lot of crying like she has done in the past! Aunt Susan and Uncle Ronnie are always fabulous hosts! Kegan nd Parker had lots of fun on the farm!

\One night Uncle Ronie made a big campfire to roasthot dog sand marshmallows!

The rock pile was a huge hit and quite messy!

 

 We got to meet Lia (Kyle's cousin) and Rokas' 4 month old beautiful baby girl!
