Thursday(5/10) Morning and Day

This morning, we decided to park at the Whaler's Village free beach parking, walk to Starbucks, have our coffee and then figuring out who was going to run how far.... Aaron had been using a bit too much of his running legs, so he needed a much shorter run to recover... so after our coffee, we ran half a mile to the end of the strip to the Hyatt, then back to the parking area where Aaron took the van and drove back home while ran back the rest of the 3-4 miles to the condo.   I felt a bit sluggish going back home, but made it, and sprinted the last mile.  When I got back, the kids and Aaron were on the beach walking around on the sand.  We went to coffee at Bad Ass Coffee Co, as usual.   As Aaron went to pay for his coffee, he realized he lost his credit card somewhere between Starbucks and the Condo so we might have to cancel our credit card :(  We have to do a more thorough search so we're hoping he finds it!  After coffee, we decided to go to Fleming Beach (to boogy board) and to Honolua Bay (for snorkeling).   We invited Papa and Grandma to join us.  The boys dropped me and girls off at Fleming Beach while they drove to Honolua Bay to snorkel.  I was joined by Papa and Grandma about 20 minutes later, and then 45minutes or so later, the boys showed up to boogy board.  The waves were great.  I took the girls down to the water to dip their feet in, but Selah was VERY nervous about the waves!  She stayed a bit farther up on the sand and would not come near the water even after my repeated encouragement that I would not let the waves take her away.  Anna had lots of fun though and kept jumping when the waves hit us.  The boys had so much fun boogie boarding.  It is still a bit scary for me to watch them in the ocean even though I know they are great swimmers and can handle it.

VERY happy after our morning coffee

The girls stacking wood... I think they think this is the Oregon Coast where we NEED fire by the beach to keep warm

Portland Marathon 2013 (My First ever Marathon Recap)

I wanted to capture my moment by moment FIRST marathon experience so here goes: I'll start with the night before: We went over to Aaron's parents house to have some dinner with them as well as Micah & Danielle (Aaron's brother and wife) and their kids, Gabriel and Grace, and Mathew and Taylor (cousins of our kids).   We got back to our hotel (Hilton downtown) around 7:15pm and I organized my outfit for the big day while Aaron took the kids swimming at the pool.  I agonized back and forth about whether to carry my Nathan hydration vest or not for a week and Aaron finally helped me make the decision that although the aid stations were going to be plenty, I should go ahead and carry my own water.... because he knows that  1) I don't like stopping to get water even if it's a moment because I feel like I lose momentum 2) I am really BAD at drinking from the cups and have gotten multiple water sloshes up my nose (which hurts!) and water on my shoes (which, is BA...

Much has happened...

It's been exactly one week since we were given our bad news about not being able to adopt the girls from Indonesia. God has really comforted us alot during the past week... I still have a hard time not crying when someone asks me when we can go get the girls.... In my excitement, I showed so many people at church and friends the pictures of the girls because in my heart, I really felt these girls were ours. But, God is not done writing our story ~ I know that this will have a Godly outcome and we will move forward. We have had lots of support and encouragement ~ most people we know well have expressed their sadness over this. I returned the bedding I bought for the girls at the store and when I did, I was sorta in a sad mood.... the person handling the returns said "Are these not going to work out?" to which, I replied "No, it's not" and then she felt like she had to push the issue with me and said "Is there anything wrong with it?" By then, I...
