"By HIS Grace"

Wow, I didn't realize how long it has been since I last blogged! I still check in with many blogger friends but just hadn't posted for awhile. I am off for the summer. I love it because I have more time to read my Bible and to spend time with our Heavenly Father.

This summer has been quieter than most. This is the first summer our oldest, Ashleigh, did not come home. She got an internship where she goes to college and also has a job so she has been super busy. She has been home a few times, gosh, we miss her lots!

Sawyer will be a jr. in high school and I am trying to not panic that he is growing up so fast! He is constantly on the go, either playing ball or hanging with his girlfriend. (that is also taking me some time to get used to!)

Bryan and I will be celebrating our 23rd anniversary in a few weeks. Wow, we have been thru sooo much. I wouldn't want to spend my life with anyone else! Thank you God for giving me an awesome husband!

I began running in May. Actually, my kids call it a slow trot! I run about 3 miles a day and feel much better. And...I have lost about 20 lbs. in the last 6 months. I am hoping to get to run in a 5K in Sept., God's Will, that is.
