A quick update.

I want to do just a quick update of our moving status. At this point in exactly 5 weeks, we will be homeless.... We thought we had a job in Portland and it fell through. The disappointment of that one has been ringing through our ears for the past several weeks as our friends and family excitedly ask us where we are going. We have applied for Henderson, Colorado and we are waiting to hear about another town in Oregon. We also found out that a job here in Phoenix has opened up. And as much as we dont want to stay here, because of the place not the people we will take anything right now. The desperation has gotten slightly out of control for me. I struggle with not knowing where were going. I am a planner through and through. I am such a planner that I am pretty much OCD about it. I am trying with all my might to calm down and realize that something will come but God is defiantly teaching me patience. Someone told me the other day that God waits till the last minute. I rolled my eyes but I think God needs to push me to help me realize that I dont need to plan things 3 months in advance. (Told you it was bad) We have started packing and since we both have a lot of this week off we are packing quite a bit this week. Its not something I really want to be doing. I have come to fall in love with the people in this state and although the heat is not my thing this place does have good things going for it.

Well unfortunately thats all for now. Hopefully after a couple phone calls Stefen is making today I will have more news.

The running Diaries!

This post is really for me to help me keep track of my progress. But if you care to read it I have made it as entertaining as possible.

Stefen and I for the past month walk 2 miles a couple times a week. However my big goal in life is to be a runner. However I am not a runner. Have you ever seen the Friends episode where Phoebe and Rachel start running together? If you haven't here it is.

Yep folks that is pretty much how I run. With no class and all over the place. Stefen probably runs that way too. My point to all of this is I am not a runner and I really dont know how to do it the right way. Stefen likes walking with me but he has not motivation to help me run or even run himself. So thats where my new running buddy, Courtney, comes in. She wants to run a 5K in January and needs a motivator. So we started tonight! I did 3.4 miles overall and about half a mile of that was running. Now mind you I did NOT run a half of a mile straight a little here and a little there. But I did it! I ran! I looked like Phoebe I am sure. But I did it! According to the app I used i burned only 325 calories which is equivalent to an avocado. I also did some kicks in the pool tonight. I feel like my whole bottom half is going to fall off. I was having a hard time walking home after I left Courtney. But I did it! Ragnar here I come!
(one day I hope!)
