$8 and 8 years younger.

So I’m totally going grey. I used a box color on my hair and I feel alive again. 

Ta Da

Am I the only only left my age not micro blading my eyebrows and sporting false eyelashes and hair extensions?  It suddenly seems like I look much much older than I am…but I also feel like an old lady lately. 

It might be because everyone else is looking younger and the last 3 years have made me very very old. Thank goodness for box dye. I’ll enjoy being brunette again for a couple weeks until it fades in the wash. 

Wave of Light 2021

Last night for the wave of light we met Jill and Danielle at Nick’s grave to light candles in remembrance for Infant Loss Awareness month. 

Quincy and I transposed Be Still My Soul to a key Quincy could play on the cello and Quincy surprised Jill with a beautiful performance of this special song for Jill and Nicholas.  We brought a jack be little pumpkin for his stone, and we were happy to see Jill had saved the little scarecrow we gave him last year and tucked it into his bouquet. 

Meh Reads 2021

Well this is a pathetic catch up post…I have been reading in 2021…not as much as 2020, but I have read books! I can’t even remember all of them and I checked back to see the most recent Meg Reads post and it was just the 2020 recap, sooo this list will be incomplete, I am sure. 

Here are a few 2021 books

Bentonville Half Marathon

I ran the Bentonville Half Marathon last weekend! 

I was victorious! 

My family! Thank you for supporting me! 


True to my typical fashion for this brutal course, I ran steady splits until mile 11, then slowed waaay down.  I mean, this year I was slower anyway, but still kept up a 10:30 overall pace until mile 11. My last 2 miles and that 200 ft time were the cause of my first walking break and tanked my time. Overall, my final time was 2hrs 23 minutes. Not my fastest, not even close, but not my slowest half, either. I feel pretty good about it.  




A few things I loved: 

Seeing Reese volunteering and cheering with Ignite at mile 5! 


There’s a temple on our course, now! 



Winner’s circle!  Metfield Ward Running Club! Members of the Metfield Ward (plus others are welcome, too, but the majority are from Metfield) meet up on Saturday mornings at Cooper Elementary for a run.

Mark H (who took 8th place OVERALL in the half!) Adley T (this was his first half and he took 40th place!! Fast!), Kyle and Jessica W, Me, Katia M, Naomi W, and James P (the group organizer and cheerleader).  

HOCO 2021

I wrote a huge post with all the details, but my app crashed and it didn’t save. Here are pics to hold the place, and I will fill in the details of a very eventful night in time.
