These are random pics from my phone.  I spent last week with a cold, pink eye, and in insurance school in Atlanta.  It was torture!!  I have been working on a designation for 5 years and hopefully I will pass this last one and be done....I should know in 6-8 weeks.  I left work already behind and came back to a hot mess.....
 Avie loves to do handstands at Bevs.......her new trick is to do the alphabet while doing a handstand....yes I know she is talented:)

 Avie was so excited to see me when I got back from Atlanta

 Maggie's favorite place to be outside is on the trampoline

 Since the monsoons came Saturday and Sunday we had an indoor egg hunt with Melissa and her girlies.

 Avie and Paige
I did a 10k on Saturday morning...based on being sick and gone all week I think I did good.  It was only my 2nd ever 10k so I did get a PR:) 1:02.11.  I have a half marathon April 13th....I feel certain there will not be a PR...I feel certain I will be lucky if I finish...hopefully I can get the rest of my training runs in...but....we will see

overdue post

A lot has been going on since the art show!!  First and most important my Dad went back to Moffit Center in Tampa for additional scans and an endoscope...and they found NOTHING!!!!  Could not even find the lymph node to do a biopsy.  The Dr used the words "cancer free".  We were shocked and thrilled, this shows the power of continued prayer.  They do go back next week to follow up with all results.

 just another marathon pic.......
Avie has been having headaches for about a month so I took her to the Dr....apparently it was baby shot day....b/c for 50 minutes we had to listen to babies crying...I AM NOT A FAN of crying babies and neither is Avie
The PA (even though my co pay is the same to see a Dr.....) said she thinks it is migraines.  They said she was in a cycle so we broke that and now just have to watch.  She said it is hard to figure out triggers in children.
My running is going much better, I almost stuck to my plan all last week.  I am trying to work on speed which kills my legs but I am doing better and faster than I thought.  I guess my thought process on the marathon was to finish......however for a 10k I have on the 23rd I feel like I will need to try a little faster pace:)
We are almost in the final countdown of school, I am so ready for this year to be over.  Kids are mean, especially girls.  I am tired of the drama, bullying, blah, blah, blah.  Amelia has too much of her Daddy in her and not enough of me:)  She has such a tender heart and is so sweet and only sees the good in people, it is sad that little by little that is chipping away.....
I have insurance school all next week in Atlanta....it is my last class for the designation I have been working on for 4 years, hopefully I pass the test...and dont have a nervous breakdown in all that crazy traffic.  And if not luckily they will offer the same topic in November!!

Art show

Last Sunday we went to the Art gallery. One of Amelia's pieces from school was in it!!

My running is still going. I had a much better and productive week this week. I also signed up for a 10k mid March and a half in April.
