Yup.....

Yeah... I know it's been a while and I have some pretty cool Christmas pictures, too!

But we've been real busy. My kids are still gone in California till Jan. 2nd, we dropped off Aurora yesterday (we had her for a week), so now it's just Jeromy and I (pretty awesome!), so we had plans to do some deep cleaning in some of the rooms in our house. We both have a few more days off, and we never seem to have time to do deep cleaning, but we have a few days now. I know it doesn't sound that exciting but it's nice to relax with Jeromy and just get stuff done around the house.

Also my half marathon is only 4 days away and counting- getting pretty excited about it. And I'm just trying to mentally prepare myself that I'll be running in the rain... it will be exhilarating (I hate being in the rain), it will energize me (my biggest pet peeve is wet socks, shoes and FEET!), it will make me feel alive (and grumpy). So as you can see I'm still working on the self-motivation for running in the rain....

Also, I've been visiting my sweet cute red-sock wearing grandma in the hospital the last couple of days. She turns 94 in January. I told her she has to get to 100, but I know she's getting tired. She's looking forward to seeing her parents, husband Fred, and sisters in heaven.... but we still want her here for a little longer. But what ever God's will is..... I told her I'd still talk to her when she's up in heaven. She said she'd sit on a cloud looking down at us all, then she said maybe not cause she's too heavy. Then we watched Wheel of Fortune like old times and she won 3 puzzles and I won 2, and I wasn't trying to let her win- she's always been amazing at Wheel of Fortune.

Anyway, I'll blog some pictures soon. But tomorrow I've got to tackle the office.... there are literally papers all over the floor I need to sort thru. I need to run 7 miles tomorrow, we need to go shopping and we are trying to fit in going out to Fiesta for lunch. Then go visit my cute grandma again.

Hope everyone out there has a safe happy healthy new year's eve! Remember I'll be running 13.1 miles with a smile on my face (hopefully)!!!
