A Sweet Husband

I haven't posted anything in awhile because there hasn't been a whole lot going on. The biggest news in my life right now is that I have a really sweet husband who let me buy a treadmill with some of our tax stimulus. I've been running for awhile and I really love it now. I've been going to the Rec Center, but it will be so much easier now. I'll mostly run outside this summer, but I couldn't turn this deal down when I saw it online, and I know I will get a lot of use out of it. I was trying to figure out a way to get it because the man selling it lived in Salt Lake (about 2 hours away or 3 hours driving our truck - a sweet, but old '84 Dodge.) Luckily, I made a deal and things worked out so perfectly because Josey's track meet was cancelled the next day and he got to ride down with me to get it. (I was really worried about driving that truck down there by myself, let alone figuring out a way to help the man get it in our truck.) So far, I've used it every day this week and I love it. It's very stable and great for running. Today was the first time I reached my goal of running 4 miles in 30 minutes (7:30 per mile). Now I have to come up with a new goal, and I think it will take me awhile to get there. So, Josey, if you happen to read this, I LOVE YOU and thanks for thinking of me!!


Here's a picture of the treadmill I got, and for those of you who haven't seen it, our sweet truck when we got it last summer in Montana.

I've been trying to take lots of pictures, but sometimes when a cute moment comes I've forgotten my camera or it's run out of batteries again. I got some cute ones of Jarrett the other night eating his dinner. He was making the funniest faces (I think either trying to smile for the camera or getting his eyes ready for the flash). I love my messy eater, but my least favorite job of all is probably cleaning the high chair 3 or 4 times a day.
