Races, etc...

I am really enjoying these races!! I have completed 4 of them recently. I've completed 3 5K's and 1 10K! My time has gotten better with each race! I'm glad that my children are starting to see that mommy has more energy! Ya know, when i was weighing in at 254 all my energy was going to keep me walking from place to place and make it to the recliner!! Since that was not the life I dreamed of, it's nice for my children to notice a difference!! At 34 I know I still have a way to go, but I can achieve a healthy life that will help my children grow into healthier adults!!
Now, back to the races....my times are not army standard yet...but could be in a couple months!! I always joke with Isaac that if he is getting out...then maybe I should get in, just so we could both fully understand the whole army experience!!! LOL....
I better start dinner and some laundry....

As I sit here finishing up some laundry, I'm very consumed with missing my husband. Although R&R will be here in June, I still am missing him pretty badly. I was pretty spoiled on the first deployment and if any of you know me, I'm pretty used to being spoiled. Well, being spoiled is a great thing at the time, but then when things don't go your way, you seem to take it even harder than the unspoiled person! So, Isaac is moving around a lot this deployment. It has actually worked out okay until Thursday. Now, he's in some remote place with no internet service and the cell phone that he got over there doesn't get reception there either!! What's even worse is that he is scheduled to be there until like a week before he's due home for R&R.
I guess I just feel a little out of the touch with the world. When I get like this, it seems to be easier to not talk to anyone. I feel like it's a little easier to transition Isaac back into the house when i've talked to him at least every other day or so. I don't remember feeling this desperate to talk to him for quite some time. What's even funnier is when I do finally get to talk with him, I'll be at a loss for words!!!
I'm blessed in so many ways! I love explaining how wonderful my husband is to everyone but i truly just wish he were here to prove it to them himself!!!

This link should take you to my album where you can view them as a slideshow! There's probably an easier way....but it's late and I have to work tomorrow!
Love to all!

10K Here I Come!!

A few prayer requests....since I can't sleep!
1. That I wake up on time!
2. That I finish!
3. That I'm not too sore to move afterward!
4. That I feel good upon completion!

I'm afraid 6:35 is going to come rather quickly, so goodnight for now!

Party at Wazoo's!

Running Smoothly.....

If only everything ran smoothly, life would be easy! However, when things don't run as smoothly as I would like, it is a helpful reminder of how much I miss Isaac, how much I need Isaac, how much I love it when Isaac is here with me!!
I've really tried not to complain too much....but enough is enough!
If only the garbage disposal still worked...
if only the light in the stairs could be reached to change...
if only the sprinkler system still worked...
if only registration/inspections never expired on cars...
if only brakes on minivans lasted forever...
if only the extra refrigerator still kept things cooled/frozen...
if only children never vomited in their beds...
if only i wasn't out of the house 12+ hours five days a week, then perhaps all the minor things listed above wouldn't seem like MAJOR things in my life!!!

HURRY HURRY HURRY Sweetie....come back to me!!!!
