Today I completed my third half-marathon. I ran in the City of Trees half-marathon this morning in Boise, Idaho. I had the pleasure of running most of the way with my wonderful friend Kelli Kinney. It was wonderful to get to spend a little time with her...although we didn't do much talking because that just takes too much energy while running. I wasn't sure if I was ready for it, but I did complete the whole thing without walking.
Kelli and I had some great cheerleaders cheering us on along the way. Thank you Tyler and Brie, Ryan, Noah, Josh, Aidan, Bryce, Laurie, and Randy and others who helped us make it to the end.
I am physical tired and I am ready to take a small break from running long distances and spend less time training. I finished the race in 2 hours 12 minutes, which was a little longer than I wanted to take, but oh well. I am just happy to have finished.
Well, school has been in full force. I can't believe that the first quarter is almost over. The last 7 weeks have just flown by. I have a wonderful class of 16 students. I have several siblings of my former students. I believe we have a lot of fun learning together.
As for my non-teaching life, that has been busy as well. Between family and friends, and my boyfriend I am go, go, go. We all made it through my brothers wedding in August. It was a wondeful wedding and I couldn't be happier to have Brianne as my new sister.
I am training for a 1/2 marathon on October 5 in Boise. I don't think I'm ready, but I guess I will just have to see in just a few short days. So far my knees have been doing well...no major pains since double knee surgery. Thank goodness for wonderful doctors and God's healing.
Well, that is all for now. I will try to make posts more often, but no promises.
Hello friends! I did it, I finally decided to start a blog of my own. This will be a whole new learning experience, so please bare with me.
The end of my summer is coming to an end quickly, so hopefully this will be a great way to keep you all posted on what is going on with my life in Nampa, Idaho.
Some Highlights in my life right now:
1. My brother is marrying a wonderful gal on August 2. Brianne and Tyler are a perfect match for each other.
2. I will begin my 3rd year of teaching at Nampa Christian Schools. I will be teaching First Grade again, and I am so excited.
3. I am enjoying the house that I bought in October and I am still trying to make it feel like Home.
4. I have a wonderful boyfriend, who I enjoy spending time with.
I hope that things are going well in your lives, and I would love to hear from you!
