Cowtown Half-Marathon

Matt has always been a runner but has been serious about it for well over a year now. After feeling a little envious of his fitness and pride, I decided to try running. All of you reading this know that I am NOT a runner and never have been, but, I met the challenge! After training for four months, I completed my very first Half- Marathon! That is 13.1 miles!!! I am a little disappointed in my time and hope to do better next time but am very proud that I finished.

I got quite a surprise when I got to the finish line - my family was there to cheer me on! I did not know that they were coming - my mom and dad came from La Pryor and my sister and her family, Kim, Bruce, Katelynn & Hunter, came in from Edmond, Oklahoma! It really meant the world to me that they all came in to support me! Betty and Clark were there too!

Matt ran the half-marathon and beat his time from his last half-marathon. Friends, Erin Price and Steve Lange also ran in Fort Worth with us - they are pictured here with Matt and I.

Christmas 2009

We hope that you and your family had a wonderful Christmas! We celebrated the birth of our Savior in many different and meaningful ways. We enjoyed the children's Christmas party at Cowboy Stadium. The theme was Candy Land - do we need to say more? Mmm!

Happy Thanksgiving - 2009

Matt cooked the Thanksgiving turkey - to perfection - on his green egg! We hosted my mom and dad, Kim, Bruce, Katelynn, and Hunter.

We are very thankful for our many blessings from God - especially all of our family and friends.

We enjoyed our annual tail-gate (this year at the new Cowboy Stadium) and the Cowboy's victory!

MATT COMPLETES HIS FIRST FULL MARATHON

On November 15th, Matt completed his first marathon in San Antonio. He ran the Rock and Roll marathon on a hot and humid day. Molly and I were driving all over San Antonio trying to see him along the run, but we were always a little late. Molly and I and a few others (Allyson, Kathy, Keith, Kim, Emma, Andrew, and his Dad) proudly watched him cross the finish line.
