This has nothing to do with the post, but it made you look at another picture of Asher! This time, helping me study. Such a smart kitty:)
This past weekend I ran my 4th half marathon and I finished with a time of 2:01 (much improved from 2:31, 2:10, & 2:07 times). Although I was aiming to finish under 2 hours, it was my best time yet so I am proud of that. I guess the elusive 2 hour mark with have to wait until my next race. Not sure when I will run again, but sometime in the Spring I'm sure I will get the urge. Dave had to work on race day so my parents and mother in law came out and supported! Thank you very much Mom, Dad, Beth and Dave (because I know it was hard for him not to cheer me on in person). Running is not the most exciting thing to watch, so any spectator is an awesome one!! Thanks for battling the cold weather and millions of blond runners that could have been me:)
On another note, I leave for South Korea in 8 days. I am flying there to meet my new niece (due any day now), help out my sister Carrie, spend time with my almost 5 year old niece Carlie and maybe see Joe when he isn't working. I am extremely excited to see everyone, travel to a new place and do it all on a break from school! I am blessed to have been given about a week and half off school and Carrie was able to talk me into traveling to Korea. Which truthfully didn't take that much work. I thoroughly enjoy traveling, encountering new cultures, and getting the opportunity to be there for a sister is a wonderful gift to give (to her and to me). I guess Carrie will owe me in the future since there is no telling where Dave and I will be once we have kids;) Ha, ha, ha, no but seriously, Carrie, Joe, Carlie, and new baby, you better prepare.
