Oh, I have been blessed with a dream life! Jessica and I started the day running the Tempe to Temple Steeplechase. We ran it with my dear, dear cousin Laura. She is fast! She pushed Jessica & I to our fastest 5 miles ever, about 50 minutes. That's not fast, but to me it its huge! I'm feeling it tonight. But it made me realize I could be pushing myself harder & not just in running! I'm so grateful Heavenly Father allowed me to have this experience. I'm grateful I could spend time with my sweet, amazing, grown-up (15) daughter and friend Jessica & my dear friend, Laura. These experiences are precious!
Jaremy ran the support crew! He brought us Gatorade and cheered us on along the way with the rest of the kids. Then he brought us breakfast at the finish line.He kept track of our time and managed Tank and baby Adelynn. Amazing! I'm so grateful for his love and support!
After the race we headed up the canyon for a hike and some time at a mountain lake. It was perfect weather! The kids are all healthy and fit! The mountains were beautiful and peaceful! I kept telling Jaremy, "It doesn't get better than this! If this was the Celestial Kingdom I would totally be okay with it!" Family time is sacred and is heaven on earth. Of course, we have our moments of, "He's touching me! She's breathing my air!" But even those moments are just part of learning to love one another better. Heavenly Father has blessed us so much!
This evening we made incredible veggie burgers together. They were fabulous! Everyone but Natalie loved them! Then we sang and practiced Chinese while we did the dishes. After we went into the courtyard, laid out a blanket on the yard, turned on the water fountain & some soft music and dream-lined. We embed with scriptures and prayers. It was lovely!
Adelynn has woken up again, so ...
