Fargo Marathon Weekend!

Last weekend was filled with much fun and excitement. It was the Fargo Marathon weekend. It was three days of events and running. Here it is a huge thing. The whole town comes together to support runners that come from all over. Many runners choose this marathon because it is a Boston qualifier. And you probably guessed it, what an easier place to qualify. It is so flat here. Any how. The girls took part in the youth run on Thursday evening. They had a blast. They ran the 1mile. They had the course set up just as they would for the bigger races. Tatum and Elyssa thought it was pretty neat. Titus enjoyed watching all of the children. Afterwards Joshua and I though we should have put him in. He probably could have ran laps around the girls. LOL... He has so much energy. He makes me laugh everyday and is such a joy. He was cheering on his two big sisters with Daddy. I ran the mile with the girls. It was so much fun... They both received little medals that had Hebrews 12:1 inscribed on the back. They thought that was awesome. That was one of the first things Tatum said to me when she was showing it. "LOOK MOMMY, there is a Bible verse on the back!"
On Saturday morning Joshua and the children dropped me off to run the half marathon. Yay... I finished. 13.1 miles. I finished right on my goal time. 2hrs and 30mins. We had so much fun.
Our little ladies are still talking about how much fun they had and are contemplating next years run =) I was telling them that we may not be here. This made them a little sad they were concerned if they could come back to run or not. I thought that was sweet. We explained that we will look for another youth run wherever the LORD may send us. It may not be as big as the one here. The youth run in Fargo is the biggest youth run in the world. Crazy huh... In Fargo North Dakota. We are so going to miss this quaint little community when it is time to say our good byes. But for now we will enjoy every minute that we have left. Hope you enjoy the pictures!!!

Love,
Brittany

Tree climbing...

Hey there,
It has been a little while. Wherever you are is probably warmer then where we are =) Today's high is 48degrees. Yes I know it is May. For Mother's Day the forecast looks nice. It should be in the 60's. However it has been plenty warm to go outside and play. The other day the Tatum and Elyssa were having a blast on this tree that wee have right outside our house. They were trying to climb it. If you were there you would have been laughing hysterically. The things they were saying and the toys that they were trying to use to lift themselves up. It was funny! Titus was running around and he was not paying much attention to what they were doing. He saw it as an opportunity to try and ride the Girl's bike. He did not make it anywhere. But he was pretty content just sitting on it. And the pictures of him in the Lion's costume is from Thursday night visitation nursery. He was running around chasing all the girls growling at them....Hilarious... He loved the reaction he was getting. When I took it off of him he was such a sweaty little guy...Icky...But oh so Cute!

We got GREAT news about Tatum's eye last Friday. On her first appointment her vision was 20/100 and on her last appointment her vision was 20/50... PRAISE THE LORD. The Doctor said that it was tremendous that he had never seen results like that so quickly. We are thanking God for answer to our prayers. She is pretty excited. We all are excited. We have to continue patching the same way and he said that she can have a small break each day. Then back in on the 4th of June.

Things other than that are going wonderful here in Fargo. Joshua is still praying about re-enlistment and what to do in that area. Our EAS is September 9th. So if you think to pray for that we would appreciate it. We are just praying that the LORD would plainly show him his will, weather to get out or stay in. Either way in the next couple of months we will have some big changes coming. Always exciting. I should go for now. Hope all is well with all of you who keep up with us. Love and miss you wherever you may be!!!

Because of Christ,
Brittany and the Family
