I recently spent a week disconnected from “everything”, yet nothing at all. My week at Hume with my sweet group of 9th grade girls had me closer to intentional relationships and our loving God than I could have ever imagined. That’s the “everything” that counts.

Peyton, you just turned 2! What are you going to do to celebrate? She's going to Disneyland!!! Ok, so we didn't really go to Disneyland FOR her birthday, but the line was fitting.

Prior to April 19th, 2013 the farthest I had ever run in my life was about 7 miles. I remember that day because it was the day I thought my heart was going to explode through my chest and end up all over the road in front of me. I was training for a half-marathon with Gigi and that would have been a real bummer if she had seen that happen.

My Sweetest Little Munchkin, Peyton,
You are two years old today! On the one hand I can’t believe
how fast time has flown by, but on the other hand, I have loved every minute of
the past two years more than I’ve ever loved life before!

Dear Peyton,
I've been your dad for two years now. I know to you I seem like an expert by now, but I think it's time to let you in on a little secret... I have no idea what I'm doing! I mean, I know to change your diaper, keep you fed, keep you away from harm, and to try not to curse when you are around, but the rest of it, yeah I'm just winging it. I figure if I justJosh J.http://www.blogger.com/profile/18153445439409487822noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6780031591075059082.post-26295114661019575762013-03-26T11:40:00.001-07:002013-03-26T11:40:41.760-07:00Who needs sleep anyway?Okay you guys, I know I just posted about the television shows we watch, but holy smokes did we just discover something that has totally captivated us.

Between work, workouts, kids, and a full three months this year of being sick, Geeg and I don't get to spend too much time together except for between 8'ish and 10'ish each night about 2 - 3 times during the week. So we usually pile on the sofa, ice our respective injuries, and catch up on a few of our favorite TV shows.

For those following along at home, here are a few tid-bits about what is going on with my Ragnar training.
I have been at this for about six weeks now. When I started, I could barely run a mile without feeling like my lungs were going to explode and my heart pop right of my chest where it would then land in front of me and I could literally watch myself step on it.
