Where did the winter go!




Well it has been a crazy week. Last week I officially finished my B.S in Religion and had a week off of school before starting my Graduate courses tomorrow! I think it is safe to say we made the most of the week and the beautiful March sunshine! Last Saturday I got to run in the Syracuse Shamrock run with Team Red White and Blue.  It was a great event and I really enjoyed meeting up with other veterans and TRWB supporters. On Monday  I had my final Ski lesson with Oasis and am proud to say I made it down a black diamond slope successfully!!   On Wednesday My family and I got to go ice skating with Oasis in their new program in association with the Rochester Amerks Alumni. We will be going again next week and we had a really great time. If you look at the picture above of me and Jonah skating you will see all the gear that has been very kindly given to us through the program. The rest of the week has been filled with a trip to the Syracuse zoo, picnics,playing in the back yard and lots of training miles for me. I am really feeling well prepared physically for the run and am looking forward to running my first Boston Marathon on April 16. Thanks again for all the support and I would just like to ask for prayers  for health and wisdom as we try to wrap up all the planning and get ready to hit the road in May. We still need to hit some goals financially, and we are still hoping to get an RV, lots of people have suggested ways to possibly get an RV for the summer, so we're still working on that! The support has been incredible, lots of people are interested in what we are doing, and have been very encouraging, now I just can't wait to start running!
