a chatty teen.

Grateful today for the chance to bring Lucy to school. She's not overly chatty (especially in the morning when she's 1/2 asleep) and I felt thankful today that we easily talked while we drove to school. 

I looked around all day and was able to identify many things I was thankful for. 
- friends to workout with
- a lunch packed with nutritious food
- a gym for the kids to play in on this dreary rainy day
- a good book to listen to
- co-workers, friends, family that I get to connect with daily
- money to go grocery shopping with after school 
- bone broth that I am attempting to make in the crockpot 
- a free night without any plans

Life.

On Friday Sten and I went to Kim's birthday party and learned how to make RAVIOLI. It was such a lovely night and super fun to learn such a cool new life skill. I just told Haley while running yesterday morning that I waffle between being completely content with my life and happy with the things I've been able to experience and see, and then on the completely opposite spectrum I feel FOMO and YOLO and want to spend all my money and go take a cooking class in Italy.... Life is funny like that, huh? Anyway, I guess I got a "best of both worlds" kinda situation with this, because I didn't have to travel, but I still learned something really sweet.  It tasted amazing We went to Jim's funeral on Saturday and it was full of people who have hope and love Jesus and have memories of someone who lived a long full life. It makes you really  examine your own life and how you will be remembered. I hope there is laughter and stories and pictures and hope at my funeral. I ho...

October recap

October isn’t over, but I guess it’s close enough and Halloween feels like it should get a post of its own. And also, I’ve barely taken any pictures as of late, so not much to report I suppose.  I used to take so many pictures. It helped to jog my memory as to what we’d been up to and funny things about the kids. But as kids get older you see them less and they don’t do as funny of things?? Or maybe I’m just not around them enough?? Idk? Another weird thing of having big kids.  Anyway— This month was a whirlwind and I am not sure how I will keep up this pace of life and remembering all the things if I don’t start taking more pictures!  Some things:  Had a toasty and seriously hard and amazing 3 hr run with Haley through the woods Saturday in between 2 flag football tournaments,  followed by the fastest grocery run ever (I was sweating) and then out to celebrate Jenny’s birthday. Phew! That was a run on sentence bc that’s how my day felt! Haha.  A 3 day week...

Birkie and other happenings.

The Badland Babes were at it again and took home yet another W at the Birkie Marathon Relay this weekend. It was a blast and not just the winning part :) Staying at Mandy’s cabin was a dream and I was so thankful for the opportunity to hang out with these fast friends.  A boat ride + charcuterie happened all snuggled with blankets and sweatshirts and that was very nice. I was the last leg and so waiting 4 hours to run was hard-- and cold. I look normal here but really I was wearing another layer and a stocking hat and had many goosebumps.  I never stopped running, but I did get my phone out at the top of the switchbacks and took this picture. It was SO fun to run down this hill. The sunrise in the morning was absolutely stunning and the fall colors were vibrant.  I have been sore ever since. I went into the race a little under the weather and I just feel off. I don't know what it is. but I don't like not feeling like myself. and I feel a bit frustrated. I haven't been sle...
