Training New Muscles...


So, you know when you start lifting weights/working out hard again and your body is tired and sore for a good two weeks straight, remember that feeling. I sure do. I am working a job that promotes healthy living and as a result I am staying fit and often times pretty sore. Now I'm talking the kind of sore when sitting down on the toilet hurts and walking up and down stairs is torture. Eventually, you build your strength and you begin lifting heavier and heavier and your endurance grows and you do not dread running sprints as much, and in fact you get into a groove and kinda cannot imagine not feeling this good....well, I paint you this picture because this is a lot how my life is. Yes, physically I am kicking but, but I am also mentally training my thoughts to travel different paths in my brain and right now it feels a lot like those beginning 2 weeks of getting back in shape. At the end of the day, I decide its time to turn my brain/heart off for the night and let it re-charge for the next day. I am so thankful for the ways I am growing, learning, and developing in this stage of life. Yes, it is tiring, but I find myself tearful quite a bit lately as I think of how faithful God is to me. It is hard to put words around how I feel. So I will put a period there.

Greg Thompson Photography!

My good friends Laura and Thad got married this past Saturday and it was AMAZING. Words do not describe just how beautiful it was. I love them and am so excited for them to be Mr. and Mrs. Ewing!

Patience

p.s. I relate with this dried up tree looking out over the Deep/Huge (words cannot describe the majesty of this place) Grand Canyon looking out over all that is to come and all that has been. But the secret is the tree is not all dried up at all, in fact it is deeply rooted with the best view in the whole place.


I am sick of being patient. But I will continue to walk forward.

I Miss Europe


I want to go back and travel more...3 weeks was not enough. I want to spend about 6 months traveling. When can I go? Where do I want to go? What is next? ...

Haley

Remember this...we were pretending to be in actors in Broadway, actresses for Wicked I believe (Galinda & Elfaba!!sp?)

I love my cousin-sister! My favorite thing is picking up where we left off with no attention paid to the time passed in between. We are both training for a 1/2 Marathon (she way more organized and prepared then I) and it is great, I highly recommend training for one if you have yet to run one! I call her and elicit advice on my latest plan of attack and she of course fills me in on the most important things to be doing. It reminds me of college when I would send her my papers to edit because I knew she would not change all my words around but comment on how I could best communicate my idea without losing the integrity of my thoughts/ideas! HALEY you are so great at that/these kinds of things. SO, in 3 days you will run your 1/2 marathon.  Great preparation Hay. I can't wait to hear about how much fun you had and how good you felt! How many days til the Beach?...
