COVID day 33

Sunday started off with a 10 mile run and the weather was perfect. So sunny and I wore just the right amount of clothes. I documented my run bc in non-coronavirus times I often can’t run on Sunday’s. Sten is out of the house before 6, so I’d have to leave at 4:30 to get in a distance run. So while I was out running this morning I looked at my watch often and would say to myself: I’ve never been out running on a Sunday at 7:41am before!

We watched church online then spent the rest of the day outside. It was a blue sky day! We met the Bernard’s at a park with a big field and the kids ran around while we sat 6 ft apart on blankets. I want to squeeze Amos and Olive and give my sister the biggest hug. Won’t it feel weird to hug people again??


 Forgot to talk about my cute snack board we put together for lunch. Some of my favorite things ☝️
 The Bernard’s stayed for a bit and I couldn’t help but think about how funny this whole experience is. Trying to social distance with FAMILY at a park... who would have ever thought?



I also have a new mantra that I will implement tomorrow — and, since I’m already blogging daily I plan to update my progress as I close out each day.

COVID-19 Mantra:
50-19-5
50= run 50 miles a week, indulge in a 50 calorie sweet treat each day
19= continue my 19 pushups/sit-ups. Spend 19 minutes praying/ journaling each day, read at least 19 minutes each day.
5= wake up within 5 minutes of 5:45 each day. Lose 5 pounds, list 5 things I’m thankful for each day

back 2 school. back at it. back to reality 2026

We eeeked out every last drop until it was time to head back to school on Wednesday. Annual tradition trip to Lucette after Meet the Teacher is the photo above. Happy to report that everyone did great the first 3 days of school- although I don't know if we're quite ready for a full 5 day week starting tomorrow :) Sten took the boys to Michigan to go to his cousins daughters wedding and they did something that Sten introduced me to when we were dating and on staff together at PLCBC- diving for golf balls! The boys thought it was a blast and I love that they got a bright blue -sunny -skies day to make the water look turquoise and the ball finding easy. While the boys were gone Lucy and I whooped it up! We went to the first Hudson football game... Went to the Glenwood City Rodeo.... AND drove to Iowa to see Josiah Queen at the Iowa State Fair!  Fun is an understatement to describe this little getaway and I feel so lucky we got to do this together. Then it was BACK TO REALITY! holy...

bookends/ teacher things/fall poem

The bookends of my day yesterday was God's way of showing me that I am going to be ok. This picture from my solo run in the morning was absolutely perfect. Cold hands, fast road miles, worship music and a text from a friend right in the middle of it saying that I was top of her prayer list that morning. Then in the evening the boys were outside playing waffle ball and Lucy was walking around the neighborhood with friends and I cranked up my music and cleaned the entire middle/lower level. I stopped at one point and thought-- this is the biggest gift right now.  Other things: I love pens. and there is something so satisfying about having every single color of felt tip/ gel tip at your disposal. lol. Life touch teacher photos--why is my ear showing so much? Is this what I always look like? Haley hosted the Badland Babes for some brunch after our Willow run on Saturday and she made THE most delicious food, didn't know I needed a bonfire until I was sitting in this chair eating thi...

Merry Christmas 2022

I am in complete denial that an entire year has passed! Where did 2022 go?! We celebrated some big milestones, had a lot of fun, and enjoyed our family most. Here are some highlights and lessons learned from 2022.  So. Much. Swimming! Lesson learned: ALWAYS get in the water. You’ll never regret it. Your kids will love you for it and you’ll make way more memories from inside the water than up on the boat. This day was particularly special as we were all together with Uncle Dan and Aunt Pam. We swam, we ate, we boated and we didn’t want the day to end. Having mom and dad move permanently to the Lake has been the BEST.  Midcurrent MOVED! We raised the money, hired the people, decorated and paved the way for more people to get to know Jesus. Before the carpet was laid we wrote prayers on the floor and I am so excited to see what 2023 will bring for Midcurrent. Lesson learned: do the big thing! Give people a chance to show up and see what God can do! Family camp is ALWAYS a highlig...
