Friend's Blog and Prizes

My friend Rebekah has an amazing blog. She actually makes me sick for how super creative she is. The Lord has definitely blessed her with SO many talents. Her blog is an inspiration to me. It spurs me on in my own little craft world :)
Today she is celebrating her 100th blog post. So, she is hosting a contest. Just go HERE to sign up for her contest. If you don't want to sign up for the contest that is fine too. (I really want to win) But, you might enjoy following her creative blog.

10K

On May 31, 2009 Puerto Vallarta held a 10K. Susan B. was coming down and she suggested that her and Allie run in the race (except she thought it was going to be a 5K)(we surprised them after they arrived :) Preston has been running every week for a while now and decided that he too would sign up for the race.
The race took place right down the main street of P.V. Yes, they did close the streets :) It was beautiful scenery with the palm trees and the occasion view of the ocean. Even though the race started at 8:00 am, it was still Mexico hot!

Rhonda, Catherine and I drove along side them and stopped every now and then to give them water. We were cheering them on as we were so proud of them. They all did amazing!

I was SO proud of Preston. I was trying not to tear up when he crossed the finish line. Even after all the trash talk, he did finish before Allie and Susan. He didn't win for his age group but he won first place in my heart!! Preston finish in 48 minutes.




Allie did an amazing job. This was her first long distance race. She finished 1st for her age group and even won a trophy!



Susan did awesome as well. When she signed up she thought she was running a 5K and she stuck it out and did double of what she thought she could. She is the type of woman that can do anything she sets her mind to!



They each did a great job and I have so much respect for them! Great job guys!!!

Where did July go?

Well if there is anyone still following our blog I am SO sorry. I noticed that I haven't posted anything the entire month of July and crazy enough July is almost over!! Now I have to play catch up!!
Our summer has been great. In July we hosted 18 people from Second for the Sports Camps then we had a one day turn around for a team of 11 college students from Second. We worked on the college campus trying to meet students, share our faith and invite them to come hang out in the evenings. Now, we are wrapping up our time with the 4 interns. They have continued to amaze us. They are 4 beautiful servants of the Lord. I will share more about each of them and their summer. We are super proud of them. We will put them on an airplane tomorrow and then our summer is over.

Once our summer is over, I will do my best to get this blog updated!!
We love you all. Thanks for lifting up our summer!
