random thoughts

I have decided that I want to run a half marathon. If I blog about my training and progress, maybe I will be more accountable? So, tomorrow I start. Sounds familiar. Don't know when or where yet, just that it will be 2010 sometime. So, there it is, out there now. I am trying to convince Chad to join me. I don't think he's as excited about it as I am. I'm sure he will be. We are really enjoying the Christmas season this year. It has been a very tough year for us, especially the last month, but we have seen such miracles, small and big happen that it leaves us no doubt that the Lord is aware of us. So, strangely, I am so grateful for our trials we are having so I can feel the peace and love that we can only feel from God. My kids are so excited to be out of school. I'm not so sure. I love them being home, but it has been EXTREMELY loud since Fri night. I keep thinking there are earthquakes...no, just a bunch of boys. Maybe it's good I work for a couple hours each day, give us all a little break. Merry/Peaceful Christmas Everyone!
