happy thanksgiving!

this has been a busy day... today started out with a 5 mile road race in the cold and rain. at first, i didn't want to get out of bed, but i had hoped to do this race since the beginning of my pregnancy. so, i would have really let myself down had i succumbed to sleeping in. i am so glad i got out there! i really had a lot of fun and i feel great! although i haven't gotten to run as much as i had thought, i still am planning to continue with the minor running routine i began about a week and a half before the race great. now, maybe next year i will see a great improvement.

after the race, i had just enough time to warm up, shower, and feed joshua before we headed out the door to a wonderful thanksgiving meal with mike's family. it was great to see everybody and spend a little time catching up. joshua did great, even though he only got about an hour of sleep through the day. he was very tired, but he was so great. today was a very fun day!

now that all the business is over, i have been reflecting on what i am thankful for. there's so many things, but i've got to get to bed! so, here's the top few things that i am thankful for...

~ a wonderful family that is so loving, giving, and encouraging
~ an amazing husband that cares so much for me and shares many of the same dreams as me
~ the cutest baby in the world who is healthy and happy (did i mention that he is cute?)
