lots of miles.

Jeremy and I made a little vacation for ourselves and headed back to our homes for the weekend. the first stop was Fort Wayne, where I had been planning on going for the past 3 months because of a half marathon that I trained for since July... i'm excited to say it went very well and I crushed my goal by running 13.1 miles in one hour and 49 minutes (the goal was just to break 2 hours). After spending a few days with my family (including my sis and her boyfriend, seriously- our family grew up in the blink of an eye. one of us is getting married and the other has her first serious boyfriend), we headed to Hartford City to spend a day with my future in-laws... it was a really fun weekend and definitely an accomplishing one as well!! I'm back to the daily grind of school and work but wanted to share some pictures first...

Jeremy and I at the Fort Wayne Library picking up my race-day packet

Is he not the cutest guy in the entire world? It's 6am and my fiance is in downtown Fort Wayne waiting to cheer me on... i love you :)

I think this is around mile 10.. I'm in the red shirt...

and this is what it looks like to not only finish a half marathon, but shatter your goal!! yeah!! 1:49:51.my beautiful friend Alicia came out to cheer me on :)

me & my momma

after my race it was time to go cheer on my lil sister as she beat her goal at her high school cross country meet! so proud of her!!

there she goes..

starbucks overload.. and he's been up for 7 hours and it's only noon- that is very uncharacteristic of jeremy lee

ok, one final picture.. these are two of jeremy's kittens at his home in Hartford City. They are supposed to be outdoor kittens but we were the only ones home and I wanted to play with them so I let them in.... about 15 minutes later I told Jeremy I thought it smelled like sewage (they had their windows open) and he immediately was like "the cats pooped! get them out!" and I was just laughing because you could totally see our differences- jeremy being the country boy knew it was cat poop but me being the city girl thought it was sewage, even though they don't have sewage drains on country roads lol...needless to say, it was an ordeal to find the poop, scoop it up, and make the apartment smell clean. It turns out the cat had ate a chipmunk the night before and we saw the remains of it....

ok, well off to Bible Study! have a wonderful evening!!! less than 6 months until the big day :)

Love,
Amber
