Marathon, Family, Wedding Events and Snow!

Wow! The past few weeks have been really full! Last Sunday (10/14) I ran the Denver Marathon. It was an eventful race! 34 degrees, rain and wind blow the entire way......It was cold and rainy and I finished. Overall the race was great, had great music and lots of beautiful leaves and parks. I am thankful it was not my first marathon experience, it could have but a damper on future marathons. The weather kept spectators in so the finish line was pretty anti-climatic. Mandy found me at mile 21 and ran the me to the finish line! It was so fun to have her with me the last stretch. My family was a great support to have. My Dad has signs and was on the side of the road cheering me on, Dad's are great for that.

FAMILY

My parents, sister and niece spend that last week here with me in Colorado. It was wonderful to have them here and to have them see my life here. We were spend great time with each other, laughed a lot, teased a lot, had the first snow of the season, went snow shoeing (so fun!) , played with baby Ava and talked about how great she is, cooked with each other and just enjoyed being family!It was great to have my family meet my friends, see my life, church and what is going on here.

WEDDING

My friend Carol got married this weekend. It was a great weekend full of events! There were 2 full days of events leading up to the wedding. Carol and Doug have amazing family and great friends, which made for a wonderful wedding! It was great to see all that God has done in their lives to bring these two together and it has been great to walk life with Carol as God has prepared her for marriage. I will post some pictures later.

SNOW

Yes we have had the first snow of the season! It snowed about a foot over the weekend, it is beautiful! Everything is covered which made for some great snow shoeing. More snow to come. I guess I better get ready to start shoveling and scraping my car.....I wish there were some great guys across the street to come shovel our driveway!

PICTUES

I will follow-up with pictures. My sister was the picture girl this week, so I will have to wait until she sends them on.
