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,
