Chariots of Fire

Yesterday, I felt like I belonged in the movie "Chariots of Fire". I ran 4 miles! This may not seem like a lot, but for me, it is. Anyway, my goal is to build up to 5 this week. I never thought I'd be so excited by physical activity. Haha. I've never EVER been that type in my life.

I made cookies tonight for my class of juniors that are in remediation. Their state tests are next week (AH!). Anyway, I'm trying to be extremely positive with them and I want them to know that I believe in them. I've found that many times the best way to do this is with food. 

My daily joy : looking at new pictures of my friends' babies on Facebook. David and I have been keeping up with Harper since we prayed so fervently during her stay in the hospital (www.kellyskornerblog.com), and I've also been praying for Emily, Kristy, and Lesley. I can't believe they all have kids!! When did we get to be that age? Anyway, Madison (Kristy's) and Hannah (Lesley's) were born last week and I just can't get over the sweet pictures. 

I think this worries David that I'm ready to start having kids. :) I have to remind myself, though, that I'll be ready in a couple of years when I'm done with this Master's. 

This weekend, we went to Fayetteville Northside Rotary Casino night. The theme this year was "Top Gun". It was about 15 degrees outside and snowing and the party was in an old airplane hanger turned museum. There was next to no heat in the place and it was frigid. Brittany and I tried to dance the night away to keep warm. Sarah and Brent came too, which was fun. They were little dancers too. I love going to those things because we always get to laugh and relax together....this time, we relaxed to the sounds of music from the 80's. Hearing the theme song to "Top Gun" took me back to junior high when Adrian and I watched that movie over and over again. Ahh, the days when Tom Cruise was normal.....
