Birthday-Strawberry Festival-5k

Yesterday was the Strawberry festival in Stilwell. We had such a good time. Savannah got to ride in the back of a truck with her prince Tony Lee for the parade! They had a really good time waving at everyone around! Savannah made a strawberry blueberry pie and entered it in the bake off (she had help from Joseph and I). She ended up placing 2nd place and won a $50 savings bond!!! Praise God for his blessing on my little ones! He is so good!

One thing I want to thank my God for is help me get through my first 5k!!! It has been my goal since the end of last year to be able to do it by the Strawberry Festival. Another blessing is my husband did it with me!!!!!! He was not going with my originally but I have been setting monthly weight loss goals and trying to have something to inspire me as a reward if I do accomplish my goal. Well I was telling Josh that I am thinking about what I would want to have as my goal and out of the blue he said "well if you reach you goal for this month I will do the 5k run with you". I was soooo shocked because I never said anything about him doing the run with me or that I wanted someone with me. It was so wonderful that he offered to do that to help motivate me! I had some hard times and was not sure I would make my goal but I did (and I so do believe it was with God's help!). Well we got through the 5k and did ok on from what I gathered! We did it in 41:20 min! I have challenged my self now to do it again next year and to beat my time! It was a pure rush and joy to be able to do that! I am not a runner or a jogger I mainly just do work out video's when I can.

Yesterday was my little man's Birthday too! He had a great time with everything going on. Today we made some cup cakes and ate some ice cream. He loves him some cup cakes....LOL he says it so cute!
