Zach and I ran in Londons Run this past Saturday, I only ran the 2 mile and Zach ran the 10K, what a great event it was! it's so cool that so many people come and support it! now my focus is on Two Sisters one Heart run, (next weekend) I am doing the 5K and Zach is doing the 10K again. Yesterday I ran my farthest in a long time, I ran 4 miles! yay me :) of course it was a sloooow 4 miles but still 4 miles :) a 4 mile run is considered a short run for Zach!
Jim has been busy too working and he went out coyote calling contest this past Friday and Saturday, didn't get any coyotes but did shoot a bobcat, I will spare the pictures though, I think our cat is still freaking out about seeing that bobcat, it's probably the biggest cat she has ever seen! hee!
I also am joining in on Randi's Road to Spring Quilt along, not sure why I am doing it since I have 2 other quilts going too (and some other small projects, yikes!) but it will be fun! Here are my fabric choices, I figure you can't go wrong using Heather Baileys Nicey Jane line, it was so hard to narrow it down to 10 fabrics though! aren't they so pretty?!! we picked out of fabrics and prepared them last week and this week we are cutting, not to late to join in if you want!
Busy day today, school (test!) tons of laundry, Target, Zach has a leadership program to go to at 5pm and then at 7pm he is getting inducted into the National Honors Society! we even had to go out and buy a pair of nice pants since all he has is Wranglers LOL I will share pictures of that soon! :)
Hugs!
I'm so jealous of your running! Some other moms and I were walking that far every day after we dropped the kids off at school and I miss not doing that this last year. I'm proud of you and you and Zach look so happy!
The quilt along looks delicious as well as the fabrics you picked out. I'll enjoy watching you go through the process and can't wait to see pictures.
School, well, you just blow me away with all you do! And isn't it awesome to see our boys succeed! Congratulations to Zach! Our oldest turns 18 tomorrow and signing him up for selective service was way too easy and less painful thanks to the internet.
Bobcats are scary! We don't even let our cat see the stuffed animals we have, we're afraid she'll have a coronary!
Thanks for all the encouragment and support! You make me smile!
