Baltimore Marathon 2015

I've been going to marathons for a long time, since my dad ran his first one when I was only twelve! My mom, my siblings, and I were always there to cheer him on. Now that Josh runs too, my kids also get to experience the joy of going to a new city to cheer on their daddy as he completes a huge physical challenge.

There are a group of guys in our area who run together on Sunday mornings at Gypsy Hill Park. Many of them often pick a marathon to run together each year, and this year they chose the Baltimore Marathon. Two of the guys in the group had their best personal times this year, and my dad was one of them (3:33:36)! Baltimore was a fun city to explore; congratulations to the Gypsy Hill runners!!

Family Vacation :)

Our family recently took a jam-packed family vacation that included visiting 3 different beaches, a short cruise, and TONS of driving. Of course I documented the whole thing, so I thought you might want to take a peek. :) We were very tired by the end, but it was fun!

We started with the looong drive to Ft. Lauderdale, FL.

We stayed at a hotel for the first 2 nights and visited a couple Ft. Lauderdale beaches that were pretty; even at night.

Then we had a 2 night cruise to the Bahamas. It was crowded, short, but beautiful.

We spent the last three nights after the cruise on Amelia Island in FL. This was the most relaxing and slow-paced part of the trip.

Aaaaand finally, we had one more long drive to get back home.

I hope you enjoyed them! :)

Our September - A Family Film

I am SUPER excited about the video class that I just finished!! I'm thrilled, because it's a new way I've learned to tell people's stories (which I already love to do!) This video is the final project from my class, so it incorporates clips from the whole month of September in my family's life. I hope you enjoy watching it!
