Walking And Having Fun

Laney seems to be happy these days since we arrived back home.  She has spent the last couple of days right beside me.  She feels the need to sit on me and follow right behind me with every move I make.  She has even lay next to me as I have been exhausted and surprised myself by sleeping quite a lot of hours the last couple nights.  If one could say that they were emotionally exhausted from the last two years,  it would be me.  It is finally starting to sink in for both my husband and I that we finished our journey that we started two and a half years ago.  I can see the excitement in my husband, as he has been happily doing things that he loves. He is still leaving me love notes everyday.  What a lucky girl I am.

I have been out and about enjoying the beautiful spring weather and planting flowers.  All the trees have leafed out now and the purple iris are blooming.  The air has a fragrant odor from all that is blooming and you can smell the fresh cut grass.  Storms came through here last night and has left everything green again.  I hope we have a cooler summer than last year and we can enjoy being outdoors.  My husband so loves being outside and it is hard to keep him inside. 

We are off this weekend to spend time with my best friend.  We will be doing the 10k walk at the Rite Aide Classic.  I recruited my friend and her husband to walk with us.  My husband and I are looking forward to another medal.  The donations for this  marathon/ walk go to numerous charities.  They are expecting 20,000 people.  It is going to be exciting to see all the people as our last walk had only 3000 people.

After this weekend we will be looking for some more marathons to keep us active.  We will start fund raising for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society as the annual walk for Light The Night will be here in early fall.  That is our biggest local fundraiser every year.  It is one of our favorite things to do.  As always, we encourage everyone to give to their favorite charities. 

Life is beautiful with my husband, children and spoiled dog Laney!!
