Howdy!
This past weekend we, along with 1500 Tucsonians ran a night 5k called the TMC Meet me downtown 5k night run/walk. The temperature was 105 degrees at the start of the race so we are thankful to be able to be successful given the heat. How does this tie into our boys you ask? Well there were several families there with our exact stroller. Yes between Pepaw, Memaw and us purchased the Hummer of all strollers. We like to think of the outrageous expense as a price per use purchase. We are thrilled and even test drove about 20 others all across AZ before deciding and biting the bullet! Who would have guessed a double stroller really means triple price. We are excited to run with the boys and support their athletic adventures. We hope to be an example to them of the value we hold for health and exercise.
I just today had surgery on my arm for the joint cyst to be removed. I had no idea I would be lugging around a giant contraption until I can get the stitches and staples out and have a regular cast at that point. Yucky time to travel! Just thankful we could get the surgery performed and have it casted by the time we travel to Ethiopia. Can't imagine holding our boys for the first time with the beat up arm.
Yesterday we had an appointment to complete embassy paperwork and discuss travel. We are thrilled to be onto the next step. Our director said just Friday another agency started to get dates for court hearings. So we are super hopeful to have one super soon. Our attorney said that we all need to chill because it is just now June and he is very optimistic that we will be done by August!
