LITTLE SISTER: A good RW quote, and one more from my good friend Apolo

"It is a sublime thing to suffer and be stronger."


"I do my best thinking when I'm running. I don't know why that is - everything seems to flow so easily. It's almost a spiritual thing for me."
--Apolo Ohno, Olympic Speed Skater

Ran once this week. Might get a run in today. Lets hope.

Home in 2 days. Woohoo.

BIG SIS- grace

Days like yesterday make days like today that much better. I continue to be amazed with Jesse's ability to love me when I am the least loveable. I truly am so blessed by God through him. I am glad to hear your heart is feeling lighter after a tough couple of weeks. I had no doubt that it would. I never did make it out for that run yesterday so I am definitely going this evening :) ... which reminds me to tell you how much I LOOOVVEEE pandora radio too. My dearest musician friend (lol) got me hooked. You can download the app on your iphone and run with that. Just don't trip on the sidewalk and drop it like me hahaha.
So I am so in for the family trip to Alaska, I really really wanna go! It would be super fun to do as a group.
Also, advice about money- this is a discussion we will have when you are home (with Jesse too becasue he is soo smart with it.) but a couple notes
-dont love money
-be patient and save for things that you want instead of impulse buying them
-know what you make, and what you can spend
-make lists!
-dont live out of your means
-pack a lunch!
-give yourself a weekly allowance of free money

Well little sister, I cannot wait to see you :) i have to run to do wedding stuff
