Love this View

I was up at 4:00 this morning to run with the wonderful ladies in my running group.  I know I have said it before, but the ladies are AWESOME!  This was a great route that ran right by the bay.  It's so relaxing to be running and looking at the water.  I'm training for the Kaise Half in November. It will be in Orange Beach so I will look at the ocean while I run.  Just one of the perks of living in South Alabama!  I Pr'd with my 12:01 average mile!  I want to get it under 12 but hey, I'll take 12:01!!!  The Hubby and I are spending the day together to celebrate our anniversary.  Have a great one!

10 Years

Today, Lee and I celebrate 10 years of marriage.  Is marriage easy?  No, but it's worth it.  Marriage truly takes 2 to make it work.  God has blessed us in so many ways, yet put us through some hard times.  Those hard times have taught us so much and grew our relationship with Him.  Lee is a wonderful husband and the best father any child could ask for.  I can't wait to see what He has in store for us in the next 10 years.

It's hard to believe my baby turned three on September 3.  I am do blessed to be called this little boys mom.  He has brought so much joy to our life.

Daddy grilled hamburgers and we took it over to his grandmother's house to eat.  It's important that we share every special occasion with her right now.  He loved sharing his day with her.

7 Miles

I ran 7 miles yesterday, which is a PR for me!  I was so excited.  I have never ran more than a 10k. Run Keeper says is was almost 8 miles but I think it's because I didn't pause it for our water break.  I run with an awesome group of ladies.  They make waking up at 3:45 AM on a Saturday morning a piece of cake.  There were around 26 ladies running on Saturday.  We had three groups- 12 miles, 7 miles & 5 miles.  There were 7 of us 7 milers.  2 of the ladies run around a 9 minute pace so the rest of us stayed behind.  We had the best time.  We talk & just make running fun!  I'm blessed to be a part if this group and can't wait to run next week!

MawMaw Vonnie

Parker and I spent the afternoon with Lee's grandmother, MawMaw Vonnie.  She was diagnosed with Lung cancer about 3 weeks ago.  One week ago we were told she has 2 masses on her brain as well.  I have been strong for my husband but it hit me today and my heart is breaking.  She is crazy about Parker and he is crazy about her.  To think that she will not be around to watch him grow up makes me so sad.  We are spending as much time as possible with her right now why she knows us.  We have been told that her mind will get worse each day.

I love this woman so much!
