I haven't blogged much lately, as you can see. It's been a busy week. On Sunday night, Jamie, Breeson, and I flew to Wichita for my Uncle Mark's funeral. (I wrote about him in a previous post a couple weeks ago).
His service was beautiful. Although we know he's in a much better place and he is now walking with Jesus, it's still hard to say good-bye. From my grandparents down to us, there are 90 people (uncles, aunts, cousins, and now our kids) - plus, 3 cousins are expecting, so there will soon be 93. Out of the 93, we've only had 4 deaths (my grandpa, uncle, and 2 twin babies from my cousin). And even though we're large, we're a close family. I always enjoy going home for family gatherings.
Jamie flew back to Denver on Friday b/c he is preaching for the first time on Sunday. I'm sad I'm missing it. Breeson and I decided to take a few extra days and stay behind to spend more time w/ family. However, on Thursday, he wasn't feeling that well but I assumed he was only teething. But, instead it's a cold virus. He has no voice and when he tries to cry, it's a hoarse screech that comes out. My poor baby. Despite his cough, sore throat, runny nose and not being able to breath, he's been super happy. I almost think he's been happier being sick than when he's well. Go figure?!?! I think a lot of is due to Grandpa and Grandma spoiling him so much. Plus, he loves playing w/ my mom's dog and my cat, Reuben.
I hope he's feeling better before we fly back on Tuesday.
I REALLY need to start working out. I get so inspired when I read my friends' blogs about them running and/or training for a race. But then when it comes time for me to put on my running shoes, I don't want to do it. I know i need to though. I REALLY want to run the BolderBoulder this year. It's a 10K. I know I can do it, I just need to get my butt in gear. I like to use the excuse that I don't have enough time in the day - but I need to make time. I also like to use the excuse that it's been too cold in Denver to run - but I always see people out running on my way to/from work. I like to use the excuse that I can't b/c I have Breeson - but I bought a jogging stroller last summer. Ugh. I can do this. I will do this.
My brother and sister-in-law signed up for the Goofy Challenge at Disney World for January 2011. I would like to join them. We'll see...
