Why Bill married me

I had to run about a hundred errands today so I layed out Ella and Hank's schoolwork, gave Jake strict instructions on what to/not to do and took Shane with me.

Poor Shane's butt is probably the shape of his booster seat now, but he hung tough and didn't give me any grief.

At one point we were driving around Hagerstown, and I was quite lost. Shane asked very seriously why daddy wanted to marry me.

I started to explain how daddy was totally captivated by my beauty and charm, and he couldn't spend another minute apart from me when Shane interrupted...

Oh I know why! So he could meet me!

Yes, sweetie. That's exactly right. ;-)

When my children were young, I ran for my sanity, I ran for myself, I ran to set a good example because they watched me move. Today they move alongside me. We run because we can.

Another good quote

Whenever you have any bump in the road, whether it's two weeks or two years, there are so many naysayers. Let it fuel you. Don't take it personally. Go out and prove them wrong.
