oops.

is it bad that i look at my blog and am relieved that it's only been a little over a month since i've posted? :) 

i'm sure that i'm not the only one who is busy right now. we've got soccer and work and birthdays and halloween and adoptions and half-marathons. but, those things are coming up. let's talk about the month that has passed :)

other than training for the half marathon that Rachel and i are running this weekend (omg- THIS WEEKEND!) our September was full of football, soccer, training, tres dias weekends and a quick get away trip to the beach.

we are loving fall. i'm also loving some of the things that have come and gone that i've bene able to check off of our list. josh and i were both very involved with tres dias this last set of weekends. the amount of work and preparation are killer, but always always worth it. obedience brings blessings, right? always! i also had several work trips lined up where i had to be away for a few days for conferences and the like. i am so thankful, not only for a great, flexible, fun job, but also a great family that is able to step up and help when i'm away.

i guess looking forward, rachel and i are running in the 7 Bridges Half Marathon in Chattanooga on Sunday. we've both battling sickness this week. i can hardly breathe, and she's also in some discomfort. please pray that we're able to show up and do our best, based on all the training that we've been doing!

next on tap is timothy's first birthday, laura grace's fourth birthday, a combined birthday party, and an upcoming court date. will you pray? we feel that God is leading us in a direction and we're praying the courts and judge find favor with us. our whole goal is stability for timothy. please pray!

as soon as everything is moving and (hopefully final), we'll share all the details!
