Yesterday Mike and I ran 8 miles. While it was a stroll in the park for him, that is the farthest I have ever run. My heart felt fine, save it be for the slight incline I like to call a hill (Mike was kind enough to humor my definition). However, my hip flexor is flexing its power over me today AND I have two blisters (I was wearing my new shoes that I have only worn on the treadmill for a few miles). The blisters are in areas where I have some lovely calluses and they should be fine very soon. While I am in some pain today I do feel more confident that I will get there- to marathon status. Sawyer wants to play. Time to go.
My Michael is coming home . You can't just say it. You have to SING it. Tomorrow my tall, strong, gorgeous, husband will be here and it will be beautiful. He will nestle into the life of our family and we will have him with us, here, in our house, in our family . He'll help put on jammies and read stories, and tutor Jane in math. He'll take me on dates and wrestle at least one child during sacrament meeting. He'll snuggle me in bed at night and nuzzle my neck while I'm doing dishes. We'll go for walks and play games and watch movies and do fun family Saturday stuff. He'll help carry a kid down to the car and then he'll drive while I put on my makeup ! We love him, we know how much he loves us. We can't wait! Don't worry, I won't work him to death. I won't make him cook dinner every night for the next 10 months or hand over the kids and take off to the spa for the weekend (tempting, but... no). We just want him HERE. I kee...
