September...

So far this month, we have made a trip to Florida to see my sister and play on the beach and this past weekend we made a quick one day trip to New Orleans to the zoo. Conner was amazed at all the animals and frankly I was too!! Going to the zoo really makes me feel like a kid and thats something that I needed to feel. MY 10 year class reunion is approaching this weekend and its made me feel a little old. How I'm coping with this??? Running 13.1 miles in October. I am not letting these years keep me down. I honestly feel the best I have felt in years!! I did manage to run 7 miles yesterday and actually feel pretty good about my time. I kept about an 11:20 pace the whole time which is pretty okay. I am hoping to improve that time this week. I have got to run 8 miles come this Saturday and  a little nervouse about it!!
I am really missing all of my friends right now :( Jody seems to be studying all the time these days which is pretty good b/c he has not played World or warcraft in like a WHOLE WEEK!!! I would rather the books have him instead of that stupid game!! Bible Study seems to be cut out for a while since Jody's not able to go I don't think I am able to control Conner by myself. He is wearing me out physically and mentally. He has started throughing these really bad temper tantrums that is hard for easy going me to deal with. He has started getting a really bad attitude as well. If we get on to him, he has started getting right back on to us and telling us NO!! I really do hope 3's are better than 2's. Don't get me wrong, he has his sweet moments too!! He has some really good manners. He always tells us thank you. we are working on yes mam and no mam. He really loves his grandparents but what kid doesn't!! They spoil him rotten!! (both sets) We are truely blessed to have such loving parents that do anything they can to help us out. Well I really need to get back to work. Here are a couple of pictures from the past weekends :)




Dougie went with us to FL :)
