A goal..what am I thinking???

Back in May I started thinking, "Oh my, in 3 months I am going to be 30!" Now turning 30 is really not a big deal to me until 4th of July came around and I started talking to young 20 somethings and they really seemed young! I am pretty sure they thought I was an old nagging mom by the time our camping trip was over! And it has been some time since I have been carded for buying beer, yep, I am showing my age (Cayden put years on me!)...So anyways, back to May...I kind of started thinking what I would like to do before I turn 30...Yep it was really planned out since I had only 3 months, but I figured I could do or try to do most of thing while I am still 30...ha!

Well one of my "goals" was to "train" (don't even now how to "train") for a marathon. Kind of seems like a lot of people I know are doing it and maybe it could be fun. ya right! I hate to run! So anyways it has kind of been in the back of my mind...no training done yet! Now I have less then 3 weeks before I turn thirty and I come across this....

I have one month to start, yes I said START, running and getting prepared for this race. It is going to be a blast! Best part is, I am going to be running/walking with Cody (yep,  he is going to do it with me) my sister and Josh, and a couple of her friends. I am super excited for it. Oh ya, did I mention it is a 10K? I am going to die!!!

Wish us luck! We are open for suggestions for outfits (thinking maybe we should do a theme with it), and if you feel like you would be like to part of it, let me know....

4th of July Night

What a crazy weekend!

Leave on Friday for camping until Monday...

Come home Monday to a dead fish :( Cailey's beta fished died while we were gone), do laundry, clean the camper out, water flowers, take care of the neglected house, put on a happy face and head to my sister's for a bar-b-que! I am exhausted. But I loved every minute of it!

After the bar-b-que, we headed to the old lumber yard and watched the fireworks from there. Then it was back to Tawnya's to let off our own fireworks. I am a cheap one when it comes to fireworks. Not Cody though, $30 later and stupid fireworks that did not do much we headed home to much needed sleep. Poor Cody had to leave at 5:00 am for work!

James just adores Cayden

4th of July Weekend in Cascade

I hate coming home from camping!

I hate the unpacking!

I hate the washing!

I hate the low you feel!

However, I love the memories we make every year!
