Oops...I have a blog?!?!

So, apparently, I have been MIA from blogging. Lots has gone on in our life...some good, some I could live without, but all in all, we are doing well!

The kids are amazing us every day. Cooper says the cutest, funniest, and sometimes the most embarrassing things these days! Aubrey is also growing up, starting to talk, and has really begun interacting with Cooper a lot more these days.

As for Randell, well he's finished with his two major tests. One test was for his Professional Engineering License, which sounds awesome - and it is - although Randell is longing to change careers. That leads into his other test that he just took. He did GREAT on it and is now waiting for the next stage of the process of this adventure.

I have been training for the San Antonio Rock and Roll Half Marathon! The race is this Sunday, it is finally here. It's amazing to think that when I started "training" I could barely run 2 miles without wanting to stop. Now, the thought of running "just 8 miles" makes me laugh....who says "We're just running 8 miles today."? :)

Not only has my running been a great stress reliever and motivator to keep pushing myself, but it has also helped me to drop my pregnancy weight. I have lost a total of 22 lbs since beginning my training. I have dropped 5 pant sizes and 1 shirt size. The best thing about all of this is that I have not been on any type of diet (which I am sure I would loose even more weight if I was), I have not taken any pill, or anything to help with the weight loss....just PURE RUNNING!

I am excited about Sunday, it should be fun! The weekend after that we (Randell and I along with some friends) are running the Warrior Dash. It is a 5K with 11 obstacles throughout the run....that should be fun and interesting! :)

Life is Good, God is Great!
