what a difference 5 weeks makes!

Man, I must say I didn't think I would do it, but I ran 40 minutes tonight!!!  It was day one of week 6.  Week 1 I was worried about running for 15 minutes and tonight I did 40!!!  I know I am capable of anything I set my mind to, but I am actually starting to enjoy running again...uh oh!!  Can't wait until I can say I have run a 10k!

Another happy note I have officially hit 30lbs on the weight loss adventure.  I still have a ways to go, but I am getting there.  Slow and steady wins the race.  I know it will stay off this time...I'm not going through this again unless I have a baby to show for it, LOL!!!

Happy Tuesday night to all!!

Ciao ciao world!

Happy Birthday Andrew!!!

25 years ago unbeknownst to me an adorable little boy was born in Kwangju, South Korea.  He would later grow up and become my husband.  God has truly blessed this world with an amazing man of God that I am so lucky to call my husband!

This is the second year in a row Andrew and I have been apart on his birthday.  Last year I was in North Carolina meeting our nephews for the first time and this year he is away.  I know as a military family we will spend many holidays and special occasions apart, but I will do my best to make them count when we are together.  I was able to send him a few small gifts and some cakes.  He seemed to enjoy everything, but I can't wait for a time when we get to spend his special day together.  I am missing him a lot today!!!

Happy Birthday Andrew James!  You are an amazing man and I am so thankful to have you in my life!!!

2 months are over!

Yesterday was 2 months since Andrew has left.  Hopefully time will keep passing at a decent pace.  We are getting close to half way!!  I miss him terribly and this week with all the rain has been a very very blah week, but that is to be expected.  Dolce is continuing to be good company, although she's a tad crazy when I'm on Skype with Andrew.  She hears him and she goes nuts looking for him.  Funny and sad at the same time.  I got his birthday stuff mailed off and did my best to be creative.  We shall see what he thinks :)  I will be sending our anniversary package from my parents house.

Something is up with my internet and I cannot figure out what is wrong with it!  Some sites are refusing to load.  I have reset, restarted, rebooted everything I can think of and it's still not working.  OH well, so it goes.

Dolce and I have been laying around today.  We ran/walked the base perimeter today.  It is 5.8 miles.  We ran 3 miles and walked the rest.  It was a great workout.  I am starting to add up miles but am going to have to get a LOT more in to meet my goal by October!  Hopefully I can get some long bike rides in while I'm in the states.

Went to biblegateway.com to find a bible verse and the perfect one was the verse of the day.  "He says, “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.”” Psalm 46:10 NIV

Good night world!

humble

I am amazed at how the Lord will humble me when I most need it.  I cannot make it through this deployment without Him.  Just when I start to think I am doing great and I will do this on my own He gently (and sometimes not so gently, lol) reminds me I need to rely on Him at all times.

It is June 1!!!!  Praise the Lord!!!  While we haven't even  hit  2 months of Andrew being gone we are already in the third month title.  I know that seems strange but it's exciting to me!  A lot is happening this month.  I am working like crazy until June 16 when school gets out.  I leave for the states June 23.  Most importantly this month is Andrew's 25th birthday!!!  I'm sad this will be the second year in a row we haven't been together on his birthday but that is just what happens!  We have spent 2 of the 5 (including this year) birthdays together.  Hopefully next year will be different!

Dolce has been great company so far and I know we will both be so happy when he gets home! Well I need to go to bed, I have a date with my running shoes in the morning!!!
