Family And Warmer Weather

Whew! Three weeks in a row with family visiting! It has been won.der.ful! {Also, it accounts for my severe lack of blogging this month.}

My brother Nathan {AKA, "Uncle Pudlumps"} came and stayed with us for five days last week. We had such a great time with him!

We went bowling--so fun! We actually love to bowl, despite the fact that we're not good at it. I'd say we go bowling at least once a month, so you'd think we'd be good. But we're not. ;)

One evening, Scott grilled burgers and steaks, and we ate dinner on the back patio. HEAVEN! {Winter, you can get the HECK outta here!}

It's always so fun having family visit. We love every minute!

I'm thrilled that warmer days are returning. Thank heavens! Winters here are just bad. There is no other way to say it. BAD. COLD. DREARY. SNOW-FILLED. BLEH.

I'm still training for two upcoming races, one in April and one in May. AND, I am officially saying that I'm running the Little Rock half marathon in 2016!

I went for a five mile run yesterday by the Roanoke River, wearing a tank top and shorts. Heaven!! The not so heavenly part? Wind advisory yesterday with gusts up to 30 mph. . . made for a less than enjoyable five miles. Oh, well!

Thank You, Jesus, for family and backyard barbecues and running and warmer weather!
