Charish's Hope
This was a very special race because I got to wear a very special shirt in honor of a very special girl.
Three and a half miles into the race I started to feel like I could not finish the race. I wanted to STOP. Just then this song came on my iPod that brought a smile to my face. Tears and a smile. It got me through the race and I finished in 51 minutes which was my fastest time ever.
Every time I here this song I think of a dinner cruise that my family and I were invited to a few years ago. This song instantly brings me back to that night. Charish and her husband were there. Everyone danced and laughed and had a great time. It was a special night and whenever I think of Charish, I think of that night and her gorgeous SMILE and contagious laugh. When the song came on as I was running I could not help but smile, really big as tears filled my eyes thinking of Charish and her amazing family. I instantly became grateful for the knowledge that I have that families CAN be together forever. I instantly became grateful for my sisters as I thought of Charish's sweet sister Lyric who aches for her more than I can ever imagine.
I am so grateful I was able to know Charish.
I am so grateful to know her sister Lyric.

Nursery Class
Ella LOVES her nursery class at church. She always tells us about everything she learned in great detail. Today her teacher told us that she said the prayer for their snack time. Sooo cute!!!

NASCAR!!!!!
Elliott is a HUGE Nascar fan. Actually he just loves Dale Earnhardt Jr. Anyway, a friend of ours that we met when we moved out here gets free tickets through his work so we were able to go to the Raceway in Pocono to see an actual reace. It was amazingly cool. So much more exciting to be at a race watching it live. Ther cars go so incredibly fast. Unreal!
