Dinner at Texas Roadhouse with Steve, Whitney and Denae.
Wings Soccer game with Steve and Whitney.
Great service at church with a sermon about the cross being the center of everything.
Pedicures with Whitney.
Housework, laundry and grocery shopping.
Stressful week at work, but lately they all are.
3 intense hours of working out with Marquis.
Yep. Normal run of the mill, maybe even a tad boring. And sometimes that's really nice.

In my corner
I decided not to run the marathon yesterday. I decided that on Thursday night. It was the right decision, but I really wished I was running. I ran back and forth to the aid stations to take care of Steve. He did awesome. I'm so proud of him.
I went into Lawrence to take Nate to lunch, but he wasn't hungry. So I took him to Target and bought him stuff to fix his own dinner. And some other stuff too. Spent an hour with him, love him and MISS HIM SO MUCH! He's a good boy, I'm so proud of him.
Whitney told me Monday after the last volleyball tournament that she was tired of being sore. Her arm and shoulder hurt. So she dropped the track team. I'm so proud of her. Love this girl. I have all kinds of time for me now that there are no volleyball practices, tournaments or track meets. I might get back on a good training schedule. (I printed a new one today, I'm very excited.)
This is her track/Hunger Games hair style. My nephew says her Hunger Games name is Whitness.

Third track meet of the season. She gets three throws, first one was flat, but was measurable and in the top 50% of the field. Second one she scratched, third one she got her cleats stuck in the mud and fell across the line and that was also a scratch. They let the boys throw first this time so we missed a wedding we really wanted to go to, but I would not miss her less than stellar performance at this track meet for anything. Even though we stood for three hours to see her throw. She is totally worth every minute of it. I know how much it would kill me to miss a throw and then have it be her last. Lived through that with Nate, won't chance it with her if at all possible. Here she is being goofy (as usual) wearing Steven's jersey. 
Last volleyball tournament of the club season. We started off well, played some really good games. And for the only time I can say this in nine tournaments, in the last match of the day, Whitney could not find the court. That's volleyball language for she didn't know where she was. What was really odd, she was in her strongest position, back row. She was letting things drop close to the line, and just couldn't get her rythym. By the time she did, it had affected the whole team, and we lost the match. Which put us out of tournament play. After we got home, two to three hours earlier than we would've, I watched the storms go through McPherson and Saline Counties, up where her tournament was and was quite glad we didn't drive home in that.
We had Ashley's 20th birthday party. Cake, ice cream and punch. I made the cake and ice cream, and would've shared a picture but the cake was not a piece of art, it was delicious, and I don't know how to take a picture of delicious. I did eat too much of it. (So tomorrow will be my two hour night at the Y for core express, muscle pump and zumba).
Heard a great sermon this morning at church. I will be thinking about it and how I can apply it to my life and what I should do with it. Can't even put it into words right now what I'm thinking because it was very powerful to me, and I'm a bit jumbled from it.
Almost recovered from the marathon last week, pretty sure I'm going to run the one Saturday in Lawrence. The only thing that still hurts is the middle toe on my left foot.

First track meet, first javelin throw. Great form! (She's throwing varsity.)
Second to the last volleyball tournament.
Dinner with our friends Chris and Elia, just moved home from Texas. Whitney and Brielie had a great time.
Marathon next Saturday. Not sure I'm ready, training a little iffy. Strategy will be a little different. Plan to incorporate walk breaks in the first half to save energy to finish well.

Dinner with Rebecca, she's in town for another week. (More on that later this week).
Six basketball games (it was a lot of good basketball and a lot of fun).
Heights Falcons boys 4 times in a row state champions, Girls two times in a row.
If you look carefully, you can see Whitney on the far end at the left. Caused some controversy because only Seniors get to sit on the front row of the senior section and her and Denae bucked that tradition.
Eight volleyball games.
This really is about all I got done.

Whitney’s team won first place in their tournament this weekend.
I have this picture on my computer this morning and one of my co-workers asked if Whitney was the “what doesn’t belong” in this picture. I asked why, because I don’t even notice it anymore:
She does not have the standard pony tail.
She does not have the standard hair band
She does not wear her hair band girl style, but commando style
She has white knee pads when everyone else’s is black
She is holding up TWO FINGERS FOR PEACE instead of ONE FOR WE’RE #1.
Steve and I met Whitney’s boyfriend. Very polite, pleasant, handsome, tall, muscular young man. Steve is not ready to start this again, but it is the last time.
Baby Steven had his first sleepover. Two days after shots and with a cold. I found myself at Walmart at 11:00 p.m. looking for baby congestion medicine. I prefer the 15 year old with a boyfriend over the congested 2 month old.
Eleven degree weather cut my Saturday run really short. That is dang cold to run outside.

In my corner...
The little girls were over. Mia played with the cooler. Pulled it around with her and climbed on it.
Nish climbed on Papa and played with him all evening. Except for the first 20 minutes, the first words out of her mouth were "Whitney's here". Sadly, Whitney left for the basketball game shortly after.
More of this...Whitney getting the kill.
My parents and my mom's sister came to watch Whitney play. I hadn't seen my aunt in a while, so I was pretty happy.
Other events in my corner included the usual, working out, laundry, dishes, carpool, grocery shopping, cooking, running errands, 40 hours at a full time job. I'm including these things because I don't want you to think I live a glamorous life ALL the time. (As if that's possible). As my friend Cate would say, "rainbows and unicorns" or as my friend Jenny would say "sunshine and roses".

Three zumba classes...I'm no longer lost. However, when I get to a sequence I know and can do well, I want to keep doing it while the class moves on. Two short runs, 2.5 miles of speedwork and a 15 mile long run on the trail.
First club volleyball tournament. Whitney played great. You know I'll be sharing pictures. Team needs some work, but show a lot of promise. Coach Joe Barber, large black man, fireman when he is not coaching volleyball, looked terribly cute in his black, red and white polka dot headband that matched the girls hair ribbons.
Whitney has a fever blister. Ruining her life.
I ate the biggest, fattest, sweetest grapefruit I've had in months. Worth talking about, it was that good.
Nate had to file a tax return for the first time ever. He made way more money than I thought he did last year.
Had dinner and Starbucks after with my sister.
I just complained about doing dishes. (There's only three of us where there used to be seven, and yet I complained). Steve was very helpful. He told me to throw them away and buy new ones.

11 weeks till marathon. Yesterday morning I told Steve I want to run the marathon April 7, I just don't want to do the training. Unfortunately, it doesn't work that way so after worship team practice I ran home from church, the long way. 13 miles or so. It was cold and a little bit windy, but not too bad. Every week the longer distances get a little easier.
Whitney had a couple of scrimmage volleyball games. She's getting to play front row as a hitter as well as her back row defense position. It's fun watching her again.
Found out this week that Gracepoint is growing and they will be adding a third service in March. I'm thrilled about that, love to see the growth and lives changing. BUT...I will most likely have to give up being part of the worship team because I can't spend six hours at church on Sunday with two hours on Saturday for practice. Also, my voice is shot after two services today. (Screaming back up for Steve on Twisted Sister's "We're Not Gonna Take It" probably was a big part of that, good thing Gil was screaming along with me). Will have to decide if I can manage it on a limited basis or not. My calling revolves around being wife and mom, always has. Not the most recognized and rewarded callings, (especially in my world) but one I take seriously none the less.
Fuel pump went out of Steve's car, bummer. We were blessed to have the money for a four digit repair. And a great friend that loaned us his old truck while Steve's car was in the shop.
It's been cold here. Cold and dry. Which makes me itchy. Not complaining, just telling you I'm itchy. I have lotion.
I miss my boy.
Hope everyone has a week full of blessings.

In my corner
I worked, ran, cleaned, did laundry, slept, drank diet coke, grocery shopped, read, went to the Y, it was pretty much a normal week. Nothing out of the ordinary.
Due to the nature of my friends and the people I follow on twitter, on Sundays my twitter feed and facebook statuses are full of quotes from preachers and invitations to come out to church, if you aren't here you are missing, etc. I think it's great that everyone loves their church and won't debate what church is the best or what pastor is the best. Go where God leads, many blessings on you and your church.
Having said that, I got this. Amazing, really.
Steve leading Amazing Grace to the tune of "The House of the Rising Sun". I love Amazing Grace. I love any thing that rocks, and I LOVE STEVE. But this was a perfect song for him. Style, range, content and it's one he loves the lyrics so he sang the heck out of it.
Then, I got this.
Whitney says, "hey, Tarzan is preachng today". Tarzan is actually Cody Knutsen, a former Wichitan and member of Gracepoint that now is a missionary to Costa Rica. They run a children's ministry to teach the children about Jesus. They also help kids with schoolwork. GP is in the process of adopting the students in their children's ministry so they can attend school. Uniforms are required to attend school, so the money goes for uniforms and school supplies. The parents bring the kids and then hang out because they have nowhere else to be, and they are learning about Jesus too.
Cody's message was beautifully simple. No catchy phrases, nothing to tweet. It was simply to give everything you have. To give your life to live for God.
This was especially powerful as it came from a man who gave up everything to live in the slums of Costa Rica to minister to the people there. They live in the same houses as the people they are ministering too. They eat rice and beans every day. He says they are dirty and they stink. They don't have insurance. And he absolutely loves it.
We are not all called to missions. We can't all live in Costa Rica. But we can all love God and love everyone around us. And that is a scriptural concept that God continues to impress on me. Love him, love everyone else around me. That's what he has called me too. I really wonder what this looks like for me. What it actually looks like right now and what it really should look like. I'll be chewing on this one for awhile.
And singing "there is a house in New Orleans..." Wait, that's the tune, "Amazing grace, how sweet the sound..." those lyrics.

In My Corner
Club volleyball started this week.
Three birthday meals: Mexican, pizza and soup/salad buffet. Three birthday cakes traditional, ice cream and chocolate sheet. All delicious.
Running, zumba and more running. (see above)
Countless episodes of Auction Hunters, Storage Wars and American Pickers. Steve loves his "reality" T.V. (My two favorite shows are "Once Upon A Time" and "Grimm". Obviously I want to live as far from reality as possible).
Root canal. Still can't open my mouth all the way and where they gave me 14 numbing shots still feels like hamburger.
Steve leading "O Come All Ye Faithful" this morning. The second verse, "Sing choirs of angels, sing in exultation, O sing all ye citizens of Heaven above." This struck me that they celebrated, no, EXULTED in Christ's birth. Because they knew the truth that he was the promised Messiah, that he was bringing redemption and hope for all who would receive.
A comment Mike Felder, Gracepoint's Arkansas campus pastor, made at church this morning "Jesus came to offer redemption and hope to ALL who will receive." Reminder to me why he came. I hear the argument that we should celebrate Easter more than Christmas, because it was his death that brings us life. I won't debate this, as it's kind of a chicken or egg debate, if he hadn't been born, he couldn't have died. CELEBRATE BOTH!!!
We are talking about redemption from our sins and hope for a better life, here on earth living for Jesus and eternally in Heaven, someday. BUT THIS IS A RIGHT NOW OFFER TOO! Redemption is not a one time action. It's something I need to know I have over and over.
Hope can be defined as: desire, anticipation, expectation with confidence.
I need hope everyday. Hope for restoration and redemption. Hope for mercy, forgiveness and love. Hope for healing for the 4 people I love celebrating Christmas with the shadow of cancer looming over them. Hope for comfort for those stressed and afraid of their future. Hope for the lonely. Hope for those with children far from home. For those fighting for our country. Hope for those with marriage trouble, financial trouble. Hope for those who are pretending on the outside that everything is fine, and inside they are crumbling a little more every day.
Jesus is that hope. I needed this reminder today.
**And my "25 Days of Christmas" to get me in the holiday spirit is going pretty well. I'm not giving a gift everyday, but I am looking for ways to be kind and give where I can.

Ran six miles with Steve in the drizzling rain, 41 degrees. Longest run since surgery, really enjoyed the run and the company.
Went to the mall. Realized after I left that only one store had I gone into looking for something for me, and it was a necessity. Everything else was for others. I'm not as far from the Christmas spirit as I thought.
Went out for double date night with Jake and Carrie. Took our fifth wheel, Whitney. She loves Jake and Carrie and eating out.
Holiday open house at some friends home. Had a wonderful time. I'm not as far from the Christmas spirit as I thought.
Found this on my mantel. I love this girl. Now I have to find stuff for her stocking too. And my Christmas spirit is fully intact.

Nate was home for a week. Saturday evening till Friday evening. I miss him already.
Visit with the endodontist. Root canal scheduled for December 8. Happy (late) birthday to me. Thank God insurance covers 80%.
Fixed thanksgiving dinner for my family. Lots of cooking, lots of food. Dominoes, pictionary. Good times.
Anneshia.
Heights State Championship football game. Lost 41-37. Bummer.
It was cold. 40 degrees, north winds 20+ mph. Really cold. But it was fun.
Put up my Christmas tree (like most Americans).
It's pretty.
Balck Friday shopping consisted of going to the tire store and getting my tire repaired from the blow out in Missouri during Steve's run and a trip to the dry cleaners.
We did go to the mall in Topeka before the football game on Saturday. It was dead. No Christmas shopping however, Whitney and I both window shopped boots, tennis shoes and dress shoes each. Now to come up with the $500.00 to buy them all...

Recovered from going 41 hours without sleep last weekend in the woods...finally.
I went out with friends and saw bull riding. Steve was in a suit so he didn't ride the mechanical bull, but he said next time...I will get pictures/video.
I went to some friends 25th wedding anniversary and renewal of their vows. It was beautiful, good food. And Steve got a lesson in how to eat chicken wings, as the "groom" said he left too much meat on the bone. Steve has decided he will continue with his way of eating wings, because he will never eat the gristle.
I went to lunch after church with friends (and Steve and Whitney). I find out when we get home that she has posted as her facebook status "Dude...parents can talk FOREVER". This was an hour and fifteen minute lunch. That comment earned her 36 likes and 12 comments. She makes me laugh.
I didn't do anything but play and rest all weekend.
Have a good week everyone!

I made two kinds of cupcakes for my two oldest daughters birthday party.
I ate too many cupcakes.
I ran 8 miles.
I went to two ab classes.
I've been freaked out by all the scary movies that are on TV and Whitney's love for them.
I made Oreo Truffles to send to Nate. I wont' be having dessert till Thanksgiving now.
Steve registered to run the Ozark Trail 100. Four weeks after the Heartland 100. I'm excited for him.
I went to a Halloween party.
Steve was hilarious.
I dressed up like the 80's to lead worship Sunday morning. This misses the full effect of the blue eyeshadow and leg warmers. It also doesn't show that I'm giving my best rendition of Cyndi Lauper's "Time After Time".
Steve dressed up like the 80's (Run DMC tee shirt) and not sure what he was singing here, but he did an awesome rendition of Warrant's power ballad "Heaven". (We also did some great worship music, it's a series called "My Generation" and we've done 60's, 70's and 80's. Lots of fun, lots of great sermons. Tomorrow I'm going to share how today's message really touched me).

Steve registered to run the Ozark Trail 100. Four weeks after the Heartland 100. I'm excited for him.
I went to a Halloween party.
Steve was hilarious.
I dressed up like the 80's to lead worship Sunday morning. This misses the full effect of the blue eyeshadow and leg warmers. It also doesn't show that I'm giving my best rendition of Cyndi Lauper's "Time After Time".
Steve dressed up like the 80's (Run DMC tee shirt) and not sure what he was singing here, but he did an awesome rendition of Warrant's power ballad "Heaven". (We also did some great worship music, it's a series called "My Generation" and we've done 60's, 70's and 80's. Lots of fun, lots of great sermons. Tomorrow I'm going to share how today's message really touched me).

In my corner
I got to spend Friday evening with Nate and Saturday with these two. There aren't words to say how much I love them. I did take him out to eat and shopping for some necessities and wants and got to hug him ( a bunch) and love on him.
But I still see this.

In my corner
Illustrated version, I'm tired.
One evening at the mall for Whitney's new leopard print dress. The theme for the football game was animal print. She wore a leopard print headband to the football game.
Ten matches (23 games)
31 miles of the Flatrock
Slept 14 hours last night. I was tired. Still am, so talk to you tomorrow.

In My Corner
Volleyball season started with a scrimmage game at Falcon Frenzy and introductions of all fall sports teams and players. First game is Tuesday.
She is actually passing the ball to Laura here, but you can't see her behind Makenzie. (OH!!! AND SHE MADE THE VARSITY SQUAD!!!)
Shes the little one with the yellow headband and pink and peroxide blonde stripes in the back of her hair. I told her no when she wanted to shave one side, this seemed the best compromise.
I baked on Saturday to send goodies to my college student. I miss him so much. Peanut butter kiss cookies and chocolate cake balls. They are both excellent, if I may say so myself. Good thing the box I sent was big so I didn't have to eat more. They aren't works of art, just delicious.
The baggie of cake balls next to the plate is for Denae, as she NEEDS cakeballs.
Double date night with Jake and Carrie. Always a good time. (Picture is pirated without permission from facebook.)
Steve took me out to dinner and then to see Bruce's band "GetBad". Got to see Stacy for a little bit too. (Also pirated without permission from facebook.)
Steve played softball Saturday night. I have a really bad picture from a long way out, but I can't get it to upload and didn't want to wait for it. In searching for his glove, I went through three bags of Nate's baseball stuff. Found a complete set of catcher's gear, two catcher's gloves, 6 pairs of metal cleats, two other baseball gloves, 8 pairs of batting gloves, 3 pairs of wrist sweat bands, 18 baseballs (not counting the bucket left in his room), and one half drunk bottle of gatorade. Not sure how old it is. Oh, and a pound of red dirt that is now all over my back porch.
I had some weird virus that made me feel like I was motion sick for three days. Dizzy, nausea, it was not fun. But I feel better now, and I'm looking forward to a good week.
I'm praying blessings for all who visit my blog this week!
