when you get a rock, do you roll?

i had a great run this morning. thankx, stef. what a great way to start the day (that ended up being grey and chilly). with great news, a good run, and good conversation that you just don't want to end. i guess i really do like you, my friend, stef (wink, wink). thanks for letting me share your life, for the joy of sharing your excitements, but also for when i get to share your lows. it was good to talk about my fears with this change in my life but also the ones that you share. what if we never see each other when it becomes to hard for me to get my growing behind up that hill or after the baby comes if i can't get back to where i am now..... i guess we just cross that bridge and just as life's circumstances have to change - we will have to navigate the changes that it creates for our friendship. i think we can do it - why do you think i suckered you in for the book club. i guess instead of pavement we can always connect over coffee.... yet, i will miss the sweat! let's pound again on thursday pending no rain. thanks for the journey!

My dear sweet friend! I'm sorry I haven't responded sooner. Hearing from you during my journey was such a blessing. You have always been an example of courageous faith and fearless relaince on God. The Italy trip laid the foundation for this solo journey because it gave me the confidence to leave my family and trust God for their well being. I have missed you, but I am glad to hear you and your famliy are well. Please let me know the next time you are in town. I would love to see you again. Pray for us as we continue to seek His will where Christina is concerned. We need lots of prayer!

I do understand how difficult it is to veer from the paths that have led to such personal satisfaction.
I'm a firm believer, though, that when you've established a firm foundation for a friendship, it can survive through many incarnations. Whether it's running, or over coffee, or over books, I'm sure your true friendships will continue!!
Enjoy the present. Cherish and nurture the relationships you have now and the future will take care of itself!
(Remind me of that when I'm in tears over how my life is changing too!)

Hey girl!
You know one thing Ive learned is that friendships so have seasons...friendships change just like your relationship with your mate changes. Its very transient...I often reflect on my 15 year with Langmo and the seasons that we have been in...the rock core remains, but the scenery changes around it1

and we will be out numbered....

as of monday, i am through my first trimester with sweet baby #3. the sweet children will out number the adults come the beginning of march. as john likes to comment about my day to day coping skills, "her body is betraying her" as i adjust to pregnancy and surviving with two small children. i still can't find our flash drive to upload pictures....i'll work on it. it requires clearing off the computer desk which exists in the middle of the living room due to the plaster/drywall work being done to patch up the hole from the toilet leak. supposedly the new hardwood floors are supposed to arrive this week.....which means we could potentially move out of the office and back into our bedroom in a couple of weeks!!! the small pleasures in life!

more tidbits

i find it interesting....... .......how the two boys are in sync already. apparently we had not weathered the worst of operation big boy-no paci....he cried for almost an hour. what we thought would be an early bedtime was not....then asher (who was supposed to sleep until 2) woke up at midnight only to be followed by big brother 10 minutes later "scared." .......how 20 & 30 years olds (including myself) walk around the locker room delicately covered up by the towel that is slightly too small to cover my rumpus..... and yet the 50 & 60 years old strut around with no shame. nora ephron claims that the things that we things we hate about out bodies in our 20s will be the things we long for in our 50s. funny how that works...maybe i'll lose my abandon and sit in the sauna naked as a jaybird..... naw!!! .......how fun sitting on the kitchen counter while daddy cooks is for a two year old. .......how much i want to cut my hair. .......how excited i am to have gott...
