Hobbler Half

Kylie and I decided to run a half marathon this summer and July 10th was the big day. The goal was never speed, but um...well...we finished and let's just leave it at that. :-) Of course as soon as the course hit the road where my mom could track us, she did just that! She drove down the road screaming for us, and then went up the road a few blocks and did it again! I don't know where I found this crazy lady, but I sure love her and it also explains a little of where I got my own craziness! When we got to the end...finally...Chad, Eric, Hallie, John, Sharla, and of course Tiger were all there to congratulate us and drag our nearly lifeless bodies to the morgue. Thanks everyone for your support!

Introducing Rebecca & Matt Dalsing...

It's hard to believe, but I have known Rebecca for almost 13 years! We met in 7th grade and although in our first class together she thought I was crazy and even admitted to thinking that she really hoped the teacher didn't put me next to her, well...he did...and well, I guess that crazy teacher knew something after all! :-) We've been through so much together and she is one of the most amazing people I have ever met. Beckeroonie I love you and I'm so happy you found Matt, and Matt, thank you for taking such good care of my girl! Congratulations!!

As Promised...

So here are the pictures that I promised, so what if it's been almost 7 months since I said I would post them shortly. :-/ Anyway, here they are...we love you John and Cassandra!

Yes that's right December 29th, it was snowing and she had short sleeves! I love you ya crazy girl!

Ringing in the New Year 2010

I can't believe we have made it through another year. This year has flown by, but honestly I'm grateful to see it go. Looking back, although it has been an exceptionally difficult year for us, I am incredibly grateful for our wonderful friends have family who have been there for us through it all. We have been so very blessed! To those all of you angels out there...THANK YOU!! We couldn't have done it without you! We look forward to a new year and all that will come with it. To everyone out there...we wish you a Happy New Year!!

Announcing Cassandra & John Bagley

Although she is my niece Cassandra and I have always been more than that. Today she was sealed for time and all eternity to John Bagley. I still can't believe she's married, but we are so incredibly happy for her! John is awesome and they are so perfect for each other. Everything was beautiful and we were happy to be a part of their special day! We love you guys and wish you the very best in your journey together!

**Pictures will come shortly**

Merry Christmas

Although I have done the shopping, put up the decorations, wrapped the presents and listened to the music this year I really didn't get into it...until Monday that is...we had an adult night went to a Christmas Carol at Hale Center Theater. In all my years :-) and all the times I have sang the song "God Rest Ye Merry Gentleman" I never thought about the words. When they started to sing it I totally broke down crying...shocking I know! A couple of the verses really hit me hard and I just wanted to share as a reminder of what Christmas is all about. Merry Christmas everyone we love you!

God rest ye merry, gentlemen

Let nothing you dismay

Remember, Christ, our Saviour

Was born on Christmas day

To save us all from Satan's power

When we were gone astray

O tidings of comfort and joy,

Comfort and joy

O tiding of comfort and joy

"Fear not then," said the Angel,

"Let nothing you affright,

This day is born a Saviour

Of a pure Virgin bright,

To free all though who trust in Him

From Satan's power and might."

O tidings of comfort and joy,

Comfort and joy

O tidings of comfort and joy

Announcing...
