Thanksgiving (Late)













I woke up early this year to join my friend Cara in Laverne to run!!!you saw this right run a 5K with her along with some other friends of hers in the 1 annual Claremont Turkey trot. I didn't think I could do it. In fact I didn't register to do it until the morning of because I wasn't even sure if I was going to walk or run it. I ran the whole thing and thought I was gonna die. I was so proud of myself and beat my own time. 3.1 miles in39:26...How great is that!!!! then I came home and took a 2 hour nap.. I was so sore and tired the rest of the day through sat. Yea!!!!


This year was definitely one of the years I actually sat down and wrote down all my blessings and counted them one by one.We go to Scott's parents house every year because they invite us and I don't have to cook. The last two years they have invited my mother to join because she home alone with 1 cat and 2 dogs. It's nice to be able to be together on Thanksgiving. Joyce and Ev work really hard every year to give us a yummy dinner. Thank you ! Oh how blessed am I. Even in this bad situation with the world and economy crises. I have been struggling with some issues and it's nice to know the Lord loves me and is still blessing me with tons...

Awesome post---so sweet...I didn't know you ran a 5K...I think I'd keel over and die if I tried to run that right now--I'm proud of you! Sounds like you had a great T-day.

You were awesome at the 5K! When is the next one? Love those Turkey's. Were they hard to make?

Turkeys were very easy even scott and paige were able to do them. Oreo cookies candy corns, melted choco chips (glue) red hots. Now we are doing snow man faces on sugar cookies.Yummy

It is great to count your blessings. So often we focus on what we don't have and it should be the other way around. Stay positive girl!!
