my first half-marathon & my love for my sister...

After 7 months of training, I have officially completed my first half marathon! I am very proud of this accomplishment, and the whole experience is something I will never forget!

Running in the Nike Women's marathon among 30,000 other strong women!

Tamara's Dream Team! Her 10 close friends and family from all over the country who run to support her! We are on a mission to bring awareness to blood cancers and make a change!

Best husband ever. I do mean those words. He traveled to San Fran, hung out with 10 women, took care of us when we were tired, got our coffee in the morning, and our fruit! And did it all without complaining! Here he is at 5:30 am ready to support us girls in our marathon! He is amazing and he is mine =)

My sisters motivational speech at the Nike Womens College Night! Such a fun night! I have heard her talk for 29 years and she still amazes me. Always such a positive attitude and such a servant of our God.

Lately...

Justins uncle, Bill Jr, came in to visit! He has been in Afghanistan for the past few years and it was great seeing him. He is such a fun guy and we always have a blast when we are with him! He took us out to dinner, played arcade games with Luke, then came back to our house and had some dessert. It was a great visit :)

September 24th we made a trip to Dallas for a special celebration. Our family and friends celebrated my sisters 1 year life celebration since being diagnosed with cancer. My brother travels all over the country for business, so it was amazing to have us all together for such a celebration. Tamara looked beautiful as always and she was a bright light to us all! We are at Ama Lur at the Gaylord Texan. Great food, drinks, family and friends!

Wonderful friends

In September, one of my very best friends, Brie got married!!! Luke and Ava were the ring bearer and flower girl!

I met Brie when I first came to Texas Tech. She was my sorority sister and 1 of my very first friends. We have been close every since then...10 years! We have been through so much, deaths, love, break ups, marriages, trips and pregnancies. We have a bond that only God can give 2 friends. I love her so very much and I know we will be in wheel chairs 1 day and still be each others bestest friends in life. She was a beautiful bride! :)

My handsome husband and hot date! Brie told us we would get married 10 years ago, then she was my bridesmaid when I did marry him! ;)

Our family after the wedding!

Fall is here!

I seem to be fitting into the category of most moms during this time of year. I am BUSY. Between traveling, weddings, football games, birthday parties and family events, I just have been on the go! Here are a few pics from the start of our fall season! It's my most favorite time of the year :)

Such a fun day! We spent an afternoon with our friends are the Corn Field Maze! Here, Luke and Tony are riding the train through the maze and loving every minute of it!
