Just Stuff

We've had a busy and fun past few days, but I'm waiting for pictures before I can post about them.

So, let's see, what else can I ramble about??  Cuz we all know I'm good at rambling!

Nate has decided to defer to next year's half marathon.  We were going to walk it together, but my foot is feeling better than his knee, so he didn't want to slow me down.  So he'll bring the kids out to Foothill to wave when I run by, and he can get me at the finish line.  Hopefully he'll be able to run it in 2014.  I'm nervous!  I have NOT been running very much, but I think I'll be able to push through it.  I'm so upset about the Boston Marathon incident.  So awful.  Horrible injuries to innocent bystanders.  What a terrible way to have this great event probably changed for forever.  I don't understand the evils of this world.  Why can't people just leave each other alone and let runners and their families enjoy their day?  It's very frustrating and sad.  I'm grateful all will be made right in the end.

Cam and I had a rough morning.  I ended up in tears, and Allie came up and said "Mom, let's smile that frown away."  My little peacemaker.  But oh that Cam.  I love him so much.  I need more prayer and humility and patience.

My family (as in the Warner clan) has been dealing with some tough news involving Sam and Michelle.  No details here, but I just want them to know how much we LOVE them and are thinking about and praying for them.  Sam, you are such an amazing young man, and we truly think the world of you.

Phew, okay, I need something lighter!  How about salad?  I'm on a salad kick right now, which happens about once every few years!  I've been trying to triple my veggie intake this week to prep for my race, and I'm feeling awesome.  Yum.  I already can't wait to make another one today.  What are some of your favorite salad toppings?  My tip is to use cottage cheese instead of salad dressing!  And add in some lightly steamed broccoli and cauliflower.  Oh the goodness.

Have I mentioned how much I LOVE the Book of Mormon?  :)  It's my rock.  It's my baby blanket or stuffed dog or "Meow" if you're Claire.  I cling to it for comfort.  And it works like a charm.  Every single day.
