Half Marathon

Ok so I am not a runner. Anyone who knows me knows that I have said many times, "I do not run, I hate running and I will never run."

But all of a sudden I find myself running all the time, enjoying the effects of it (even if I don't necessarily enjoy it while doing it every time) and looking forward to the next time I will run.

So a year ago I could barely even walk the 3 mile BPA trail (granted, I weighed 70lbs more than I do now). Last night I ran just about 5 miles...I had never run more than 3 miles before last night. And today I signed up for a half marathon on May 1st. I'm glad I have Ashley and Suzanne to run with--they are such great motivation and inspiration for me. I gotta say, I'm kinda looking forward to the half marathon even though I'm scared of it at the same time.

For the next 8 weeks I'll be training for it by running 16 - 25 miles per week. I better lose some weight after all this!!!! :)

Little Reminders

Every day when I look at Tyler I see parts of Sarah. You can't sit there and tell me these pictures of Sarah don't remind you of certain faces Tyler makes! I hope he always reminds me of her.

Brandt Gibson in a Nutshell

The Amazing Kell Bjorn decided to start keeping track of everything Brandt Gibson said. Here are a select few: “I’m a horse of a different color!” “No Pain…No Pain.” “Nobody corrals me!” “Die!” “But on the other hand, you have different fingers.” “I’m not stressed, I’m not stressed; if you tell me I’m stressed…I’ll kill you.” “I parked around back in the shade, so it doesn’t get 65,000 degrees in my car.” “Yeah, things you don’t want to hear from your bank…‘Oops’.” "You've been tasered!" "Click-click-a-click...booyah!" “Blame it on Kell, it’s all his fault…It was either Kell or Canada and you’re closer.” “Girls just want to have Lu-unch…” “I have been Dudded.” (After receiving some Milk Duds) “Get out of my Chaaiirrr.” (Said with a low raspy evil voice) “Gloria’s here…ruuunnn!” “That is highly possible…just not probable.” “Gift of tongues Kell, enjoy it.” “Revenge is a dish that is best served cold.” “Don't you think? Please use this well. Marriage becomes...

Tyler

We had to sneak in to take this during nap time last week. Any resemblance? He loves to sit in his "big boy" chair. Fourth of July BBQ (on the 3rd of July) in 60 degree windy weather (which is why he has a sweatshirt on).
