Hey Friends!

It's been a couple of weeks since we last wrote, so I thought I'd give you all a quick update. I'm still working at Anthro part-time, although with picking up some extra shifts I'm working around 30-32 hours a week. I've taken a step back from looking for admin assistant work, allowing myself some time to refresh my outlook. Seth is still diligently looking for graphic design work. He has done some volunteer graphic design work for the 0-18 group at Crossroads. It would be amazing if that brought about a potential job opportunity, but we're not holding our breath. We know that God will continue to provide for us during this transition. He has and is continually blessing us, and we're so thankful.

Seth's birthday is this coming Thursday (his golden birthday - 28 on the 28th!), and we're going to celebrate with family this coming Friday. Be sure to send him some love! Other than that, there's nothing big on the immediate horizon - we're just anxious to hear about the arrivals of Baby Girl Syres and Baby Girl Nagel!!!

Love you all.

Kel

P.S. Bou says "hi"...and wants to give a special shout-out to Josh, Aaron, and Schtine-Teet. :o)

The Flying Pig Marathon - Sunday, May 3, 2009

Well folks, I've officially run my second marathon, finishing close to 30 minutes faster than I did in the San Diego Rock 'n' Roll Marathon last summer (official time: 4:14). I definitely surprised myself. I was certain it was going to downpour when we headed into Cincinnati, but after drizzling for a bit, the clouds called it quits. While the day remained cloudy, it was certainly great conditions for running 26.2 miles. :o) My brother Scott and I ran together for about the first 12 miles, and then he got a cramp he needed to stretch out so we went our separate ways. My dad and my little sister Ginny ran the half marathon portion together as well (SO proud of them!!!). Anywho, I thought I'd upload the video that Seth took of me as I was nearing the finish line. It's pretty cool to hear my family cheering SO loudly for me!!! :o)

Missing all of you Californians.
