Last Sunday I had the honor of running alongside 1400+ other women in the Iron Girl Half-Marathon in Columbia.

Sunday morning started bright and early at 4:45 when the alarm on my cell phone went off. Kit and I were able to stay at a friend’s house the night before, so I popped out of bed and tried to get ready as quietly as possible so as not to wake our very gracious hosts. Before long, we were standing around with Dani waiting for the race to start.

I am going to let you in on a little secret. I have not been cooking much lately. For the past few months, Kit and I have been having huge salads for dinner almost every single night. I definitely seem to have a lot more energy when I up my raw foods consumption.
Lots of nights we are like, “ugggghhhh salad again” but then we eat it and we’re like “Yeah! Salad is awesome!” One night last week though I just couldn’t bring myself to eat another salad, so I decided it would be a good night to try some experimenting.

We have been watching Downton Abbey and I love it. We just started Season 3 and even though I’m late to the party, I’m glad I came. Maggie Smith is perfect in this show.
Speaking of television…I just discovered that they have The Closer on Amazon Prime! So if you remember this post, then you will understand my excitement!
We have been weirdly busy for the last two weeks or so. One special highlight: Heading to Waynesboro, PA to see Sanctus Real perform. They were amazing! Plus it is so inspiring to be in a huge room full of people who are all there for the same purpose–to praise and glorify God!
