Half Marathon!

Okay!  My daughter, Haley called and told me about her new challenge for herself.  A half marathon in April!  Well, if you know Haley she is very persuasive, exciting, and encouraging.  She had me all excited in .  no time.  I asked Ken if he was interested, but the nice shorter answer is no.   I called my sister and got her involved.  So Janet and I were on board to walk the half marathon.  Now, I heard through the family grapevine that Kayla was not all that interested in the half marathon.  So since I know how competitive my girls are I texted Kayla and Haley the next morning about their Aunt Janet and I joining the challenge and sure enough she is on board!  So, now it is becoming a real family affair.  Haley, her husband, Kayla, her husband, Janet, possible Austin, his fiance, possibly ex--husband #1, and I will all be doing the half marathon in April.  I am excited about Austin and his fiance, I can't wait to learn if they will join us.  Sunday I completed week one of training with a 3 mile walk.  I do not enjoy the training, but it is good for me.
I sold the pink and yellow chevron quilt at the store.  I took a blue and red quilt with cars, planes, trains, and bus embroidered on it to the store.  I have another pink quilt almost ready to go it just needs to be bound.  So, as soon as I can find the binding I will get that to the store.
I downloaded two new apps on my phone.  One helps me with my walking.  It keeps track of the laps I have walked.  Haley keeps telling me it is all about the gear, maybe she is on to something!  The other app is a countdown app.  Everytime I turn on my phone I have a reminder of how many days until we go on vacation!  Life is good!
