26.2 &18

He did it!!
Robb ran his first marathon on Saturday. He has been training with a running group for months and months. Its not only a sacrifice for the runners but for the families of the runners. It takes a lot of time to train.
The race started by the Pine Valley turn off and one of the group members has a cabin in Pine Valley so the whole group spent Friday night together at the cabin.

I was able to see through the anarchy and calamity of what is called the finish line and see him cross it. I am so proud of him. He ran it in 4:11, which is excellent for a first time runner. The running group had a get together Saturday night and everyone was saying how impressed with and how quickly Robb progressed and finished, but thats just my husband. He excels at everything he attempts and he lives life full out. Its just one of the many many reasons Im so attracted to him.
Congratulations, babe!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!

Hope turned 18 Sunday. I sure have enjoyed this last year with her home. Im most definitely not ready for her to leave. She is one of my best friends and she IS Jasmines best friend. The little saying about how Heavenly Father makes is easier for the parents to let go by having the children be horrible that last year at home isnt ringing true for this one.

Things I love about Hope:
Her exotic beauty, her artistic talents, her gorgeous singing voice, her spunk, her independence, her love of those less fortunate and her gummy Marchant smile.
I know that whatever she decides to do with her life, she will succeed.
Word of advice from your mom: Take your time, dont grow up too fast. Live life. Experience everything. Love those around you. Dont forget who you are.
