6:30 a.m.   I heard a noise at 6:15.  My daughter was being hazed for a jr hi election.  Rather than go back to sleep, I found Ash (who had been up for .5 hrs) and talked her into a run.  Just as we were leaving, she informed me, "I want a donut."  Obediently, I found $1 and put it in my pocket.  

We ran to Freedom Hills on a cloudy, 50 degree morning.  Her birthday bike with gears means I can't keep up with her, instead of the other way around.  I can still take her on the hills, though.  She played at the park while I ran a couple laps, then we came home by way of Dicks Market for a large Chocolate bar.  She even shared a bite with me; although, after I took it, I did get a bit of a sideways glance.  It must have been too big of a bite.  

New shoes.  The Kinvara 3's ($55 from Amazon...so cheap, it's almost like being sponsored) feel better to me than the 2's.  I think my pair of 2's had a manufacturing defect on the left arch support.  

My son's mission call arrived yesterday.  It appears it was stuck to another piece of mail, and was lost for a while.  North Mexico City is his destination, 4 months from now.  I'm proud of that boy every day.

Congrats to your son and family. So exciting. Is he your first missionary?

Lily, the truths hurt, I guess.

Britta, yes, he's the first one of my kids, and the first grandson on either side.
