9 down, 16 to go!

We just finished our 3rd marathon here...SLOWLY...but we finished. We're beyond caring about time...well, I am, anyway.

Just wanted to check in! Huge congratulations to Jeremy...who never called me to give me all the juicy details...Stan stinks at that stuff (haha!). May you be beyond happy.

Josie and Cody are busy with sports and school, Bethany is busy with work and school (we go on almost-daily walks and complain about a client that drives us loony!); Stan is busy wrapping up the last 8 weeks of school. Jake is working, but the shop is closer so it's better. And I'm working and in a semi-panic about getting tax crap together this week to send to our accountant; I've got some serious digging to do. Wish me luck....

I lost a cousin of mine this last week, 48 years old, dropped dead in front of her teenage daughter. My heart aches for that girl. But it sure made me feel the distance and just wanted to tell the people we love that....well, we love you like crazy. Let's get this blog going again and not lose touch. There's only so much a person can do but I can definitely do this much! I'll be better, I swear...
