Life has been a bit busy. To start for those of you who follow which may be umm 1 person and they probably already know all this, anyway A. came home. Long story short his orders to deploy were canceled so he is back home safe with me:). Can't lie I was thrilled, although I know he was actually strangely kind of looking forward to it.So we have been busy just trying to spend a bunch of time together enjoying every minute we have, because they could call him up anytime now that he is trained to go.
Two weeks ago my brother came for a visit which was awesome. We found an ultra marathon about an hour forty five minutes north of here, crazy an ultra community in MS? So a couple months ago my brother and I signed up, myself for the 20K and him for the 50 mile. I trained not nearly as much as I did for my last 20 K so lets just say I was hurting the next few days. But back to the race. It was a nice trail, but really muddy. I mean ankle high mud is hard to run in. Also there were calf high creeks to wade through. Oh and did I mention that it was 30-40 degrees out? Yeah cold water=numb legs. It was quite the adventure, but I finished 5th for the women so I was pretty stoked. And my brother, well he did AMAZING finishing 1st in the 50 mile. Who would have known he was just cleared by his doctor only a month or so ago for full activity? It was a fun weekend.
One final note, we finally found out where we are going to be stationed (officially). Let me back track a little, when being assigned down here it was told that I would be kept here because A. was on orders for a couple years here, but with the military you learn to take everything with a grain of salt. But they made good with us and kept me here, so we will enjoy the mild weather and southern food for a couple more years.
