4th of July

Happy 4th! So grateful to live in this beautiful country with all the freedoms we get to enjoy.

Marty and Emi supported me in the 5k this morning! It was a fun course. 1 mile down and 2 miles up. I know I'm weird, but I actually like the uphills! My competitive side kicks in and I find it a challenge to try and pass people going uphill haha.

Look at these cuties.

Love our fam!

Emi, Easton, Katye, and Marty hung out to cheer Matt and I on.

Post-race. I felt great! I was super happy with my time! 26:13

Then we came home and had french toast for breakfast. It was so yummy! We had planned on going back to see the parade, but instead we put Emi (and me) down for a nap. Next year tho! Then we chilled for a few hours and even cleaned our apartment.

In the evening we went out to GQue with our friends, Katye and Matt and baby Easton.

We took a quick stop at our house and met some of our neighbors. They're so nice! Then we came back to our apartment, put Emi to bed, and watched a few shows. The fireworks got cancelled tonight because of thunderstorms, but it proved to be a good thing because then we didn't have to make the decision of whether to wake Emi up to go see them.

My brainchild haha Emi in red, me in white, and Marty in blue.

2024

2024. I didn't see you coming at all. This has been the wildest year. Hard, frustrating, discouraging, exciting, and hopeful. It's been a year of growth. At the beginning of the year Marty and I had been hoping to get pregnant for a few months and it wasn't panning out as expected. I figured I'd be pregnant within the first few months of the new year, but nope. God had other plans. I was called as YW President in January (a shock to everyone including me!) and that consumed a lot of my time and energy throughout the year. It's been a rewarding experience.  I started weight training for the first time in my life and discovered that I really loved it. Last December, HR closed their rec center childcare and I was crushed because that meant I could no longer go to their daytime classes. I thought nothing could compare to those classes. But I was so wrong. I have loved the cardio/weight training at Chuze and have loved going to classes with my friends several days each w...

 And baby #2 is a... GIRL! Bring on the pink. Marty's not a huge fan of gender reveals...but I thought it'd be fun to do a little something. I ended up bringing pink donuts to YWs and surprising the girls. The girls gave me all the reactions I had hoped for ;)
