In Escrow...

We have been searching for a home for a while now and we finally found the one we love! Escrow closes on March 16th and we couldn't be happier.

Congrats Jamen!

A long 16 months has finally come to an end. Jamen's probationary tests have finally come to an end. He just received word today that he has successfully completed all of his tests and feels a huge sigh of relief and accomplishment. This has been a very challenging, yet rewarding year for us and I am so excited and proud of my husband. Good job, honey! I love you and appreciate all your hard work. Congrats! 

Accomplished...

The Finish!

Going up again

Med Check/5.7 miles into the run, 5.5 to go!

The Start

My friend, Amy and I ran a very challenging 11.2 mile run on Angel Island today. This was our first race and a thigh/calf burning run. The hills were much steeper than we had trained, due to our lack of hills in Fresno, but the view was an amazing trade-off. 

The experience was amazing and it is so nice to say that we completed a challenge that we have trained for since August. I have to say that I am looking forward to a week off of running and I am looking forward to the next race! 

Giving Thanks..

There is so much to be thankful for this year. I am so thankful for my husband, he is my best friend that looks beyond my flaws and is always supportive when I feel the need to challenge myself. I am grateful for my two beautiful daughters, they challenge me everyday, but bring such joy to my life with the sweet smiles, gentle hugs and kisses and the milestones that quickly pass. I am thankful for my family, for their love, support and understanding. I am thankful for the Gospel, which gives me guidance and comfort. I am thankful for my friends and now understand that friends can become family. There is so much to be grateful for, health, employment, happiness, peace, a home and charity. I am extremely grateful for the Lord and his constant love. Lastly, I am grateful for forgiveness and the possibilities to overcome obstacles through prayer and patience.

I hope that everyone has enjoyed their holiday and that we all have cherished our time with family. We love you and wish you all well!
