back to Arkansas!!!

I am going back to Arkansas!!!

I asked for a weekend of in July in order to go tubing with Megan, Tori, and Amanda & Audie said I could take a whole week off!

So, from July 7th to 14th, I'm off!

The plan is to leave after church on Sunday (6th) and make it to at least the Dallas area (possibly stay with gma & gpa shearer?). Then leave early (like 7ish) Monday morning & drive the rest of the way to Arkansas and get there hopefully as the boys are waking up from naps!

Then hang with them for a few days, head back toward Round Rock on Thursday (& stay with my cousin & her new baby?). Then Friday evening, meet up with Megan, Tori, and Amanda and go tubing. Then have mom meet me in San Antonio Sunday afternoon & we can hang Sunday & Monday & get back Monday night.

I HAVE A VACATION! YAYZ!!!

Jellyfish Larva...eewwww.

I went to the beach with Jenny and the boys today. Colby & I went into the water while Jenny was putting sunscreen on & getting Jacob ready. Before they even got in the water, Colby and I were running out, covered with little Jellyfish Larva. Kendi had told me about it being out at Port a from when she took her brother in law out there, but it was crazy. I had never heard of it. AND, people were still out there swimming.

If you try to go out there, be careful!

Hooks game.

Went to the Hooks game tonight with Jared, Kevin, Jeremy, Shawna, and Julie.
It was a blast. Then Jared, Kevin, Jeremy, Shawna, her sister, and I went to Coffee Waves & had gelato. I do so love gelato. :)

Beach to Bay Pictures

Well, my team ran it in 5 hours & 12 minutes! So exciting! We are talking about possibly running in more races together throughout the next year until the next Beach to Bay & trying to beat our times!

anyway, here are some pictures:

our Oso Creek Jersey's (on the back, it said "I can do all things through Christ who strenghtens me") and our team number: 1362! (there were over 1700 teams!)
this one is of the timing chip that i had to attach to my shoe---at the finish, i ran over a sensor that marked my time. pretty cool...

this was me on the way to the race---when i realized it was actually happening.

Colleen & I after she ran her leg, but before I ran mine!
It was so much fun! Although I am VERY sore today.
