Now that the twins can write their names and are learning to read, the twins got their ver own library cards!

I had been planning on getting my hair cut for donation for quite a long time, but had trouble getting synced up with a hair stylist.  Low and behold, on Memorial Day Weekend, I saw that a local salon was running a hair donation event!  Free hair cuts!  I told Emmy about it and she said that she was ready to donate her hair again, too!  So, we made appointments together to cut out hair!  The last time we tried to cut our hair, 4 or so years before, we were unable to because Emmy's hair still needed a bit more length.  It was such a wonderful way to celebrate my 37th birthday.

Dad snapped this photo as I ran past them one time.  I was sobbing with gratitude for their encouragement.

My parents came to the race to cheer me on from different mile markers along the way.  At the 13th mile marker I found them along with Nick and the kids!  What a blessing!  I teared up thinking about my last half marathon, running with other military wives while our husbands were oversees for a yearlong deployment and how we cheered each other on.  This was such a gift to have my loved ones there supporting me along the way.  James even broke away from the curb to come grab my hand and run me across the finish line.
God is so good.
