10 more weeks to go...

Today marks my 7th week of training for a marathon. Thankfully, Mondays are rest days! Yesterday, was one of the first days that I questioned if I am going to be able to make it. I had a 15 mile run yesterday. Wowsers!!!!! I am still feeling that one today. I still have 10 more weeks of training, and I guess if I keep it up, I will be able to make it. But right now, the thought of adding 11 miles on to what I did yesterday seems impossible! For the last few weeks, I have been getting up at 5 am Tue-Thur for my training because of the heat. It actually has been really nice to way to start the day. Tomorrow morning, 9 miles total of intervals. Hopefully, I will make it to the end...

The little guy is here! Roman Jacob Stotts!

Roman was born on Friday afternoon. He is 8 pounds and 4 ounces, 21 inches long. The whole family is doing well and heading home today. Can't wait to meet him!

Festival

This weekend, David and I met up with Jess, Jim and Cooper, along with some of their friends for a block festival.  I can't remember what the festival was called, but it was at old Pearl Street area.  Great music and great beer...couldn't ask for too much more!  Jim and Jess just moved here from Indiana.  It is so nice to have more family out here!  Cooper has grown so much since last time we saw him.  It is going to be so nice to have him so much closer and to see him grow! Also, I ran into some old co-workers for a brief moment.  It was nice to see them.  

Waiting...

Colette, my sister-in-law, was due to give birth to my first nephew over a week ago! The doctors broke her water this morning and now, I am patiently waiting to hear news!!!!!

Mt. Elbert

Awhile ago, actually over the 4th of July, most of my church and I went camping and hiked Mt. Elbert. It was quite a hike, but we had an amazing time! Over the whole weekend, the weather was amazing.

Leah's wedding!!!

Leah, my step-sister's, wedding was a few weekends ago. It was held in Ankeny, IA at this beautiful park. Leah looked amazing! I will have to post pictures of her when I get more. David and I had a great weekend visiting family and friends. It was our first wedding that we went to as husband and wife. I liked it!
