It's been awhile, and I apologize. We haven't been really busy, just lazy, but we are getting ready for a busy spring. Tonya and I both have signed up for 4 runs this summer. We signed up for a 5k run in April that is in our neighborhood, the 5/3rd RiverBank 25k in Grand Rapids, Mi., the Rock n Roll half marathon in Chicago in August, and the Chicago marathon in October. It is going to be a run filled summer that both of us are not sure if we are ready for, but we are looking forward to it. I am thinking this is going to give us a lot to write about and plenty of aches and pains to rub. We are also hoping with all this running we will become fit and trim by the end of summer.
During my semester off I haven't stopped writing and have a couple stories almost ready to send out to see if I could get them published. I actually just had a story printed in the school's newspaper this past week. It was kind of exciting to have something published for the first time.
Tonya is still enjoying teaching 2nd grade, but regrets papier mache. Sorry, but she isn't leading an exciting life at the moment and doesn't have much to expound on at this time, but wants everyone to know she enjoyed giving the dog a bath today.
