My Marathon Man
On Saturday, Jeremy ran a marathon! That's 26.2 miles to be exact. He spent many, many, many hours preparing his body and mind for this goal. He had a few moments when he thought it wasn't possible but he kept pushing on. There were scary moments when he would collapse from exaustion, I watched him carefully, wondering if this goal would kill him, but remained supportive. When race day came, we both approached it with excitement and nervousness because he had some challenges that he would have to face on race day like the temperature being 25 degrees, and pain on the top of his foot from tieing his shoes too tight, and his knee still isn't perfect either but he had to try.
The boys and I met him at mile 14 to cheer him on.
I worried for 4 hrs. and 33 minutues about whether or not he was injured somewhere on the course and then all of the sudden, there he was giving it his all at the end.
WE were so proud! He got his finisher's medal and we immediately had to get him out of the cold. He couldn't feel his hands (the hand warmers didn't work) and the temp only warmed up to maybe 30 degrees so he needed to get out of his wet clothes. The cold temp took more out of him then we expected but he did it!

3 new blessings!
Our Thanksgiving weekend was a nice break away from the craziness of life. We enjoyed the family togetherness, food and quiet. Then on Sunday we got 2 text messages. Jeremy's sister Ali delivered a little boy and... my brother Jason's little girl was born. Within 20 minutes of each other. Who gets to be an aunt/uncle/cousin 2x in one day without the birth of twins? Isn't that awesome!
Then on Friday Jeremy's brother Rich announced his new little boy had arrived too. We are so lucky to have all these sweet new little people to get to know. Unfortunately, we get to meet only one during the holiday's but we hope to meet the other 2 soon. Congrats to the new Mom's and Dad's. Welcome Walter, Elise, and Little Rich, we can't wait to meet you!
