You're beautiful!

This morning, I got up early to get my 10K training in. I got up at twilight (I actually Googled the sunrise time and it included twilight!) and started my run. As I was beginning my second lap, the song "You're Beautiful" by MercyMe came through my headphones as the sun peeked over the tree line. The song begins,

"I see Your face in every sunrise
The colors of the morning are inside your eyes
The world awakens in the light of the day
I look up to the sky and say
You're beautiful"

God was there with me on my run this morning. How can you not hold your hands up and praise Him?!

By the way, I am proud of my time! This was my very first time to run 5 miles. 3 years ago, I never would have imagined that I would be a runner let alone be training for a 6.2 mile race!

God is good!

Sizzling...

2 kids + swimming all afternoon (with no nap for the preschooler) + early VBS start time = mommy waking THEM up for the first time this summer! Vengeance is bliss! (insert evil laugh) However, before I felt the sweet taste of revenge, I had to enjoy the peaceful, sweet moment of them sleeping. No whining, no fighting, no arguing...pure gifts from God.

I am not Catholic, but I want to make a confession. Today was my first time to eat at CB's. I KNOW! I heard all about it on Facebook! It was delish!

Miss M woke up so excited about her 4 year checkup today. A sucker and a sticker can make her day! Her mean ol' mommy didn't tell her about the 3 shots she was getting until about a minute before the nurse walked in! She was all hysterics and tears until Nurse Tanya opened up her scrub pocket to reveal 3 bracelets, a ring and a game. Add that to the My Little Pony sticker and Dum Dum sucker and she was happy as a clam. Those tears dried right up! Lol!

*side note: Just heard from a good friend who told me she is moving. More on this later...*
