this is the time of year where we have a practice, rehearsal, game, dancing for the old people...it's something every night. so, i am squeezing in a quick post to let you know i am still here. exciting news to share:

brody and i ran in a 5K this last Saturday, his first one. it was such a great time doing a race with him. we started together, and i didn't see him again until i was at the turn around point. i finished and waited for him at the finish line. finally, he came around the corner. i cheered him on til he crossed the line. he was so proud, ran the entire race without stopping. he ended up medaling in his age group...30:02. and i ended up medaling for 1st in female overall, 23:16. honestly, that was one of the best races i have run. it was cool being the first girl to come in, with 3 guys ahead of me. i think having him there was my inspiration. brody's ready for another one. i think i may have created another race fanatic.
