We went to Limestone Park in Brierfield, Alabama in Bibb County--a long drive! But it was so much fun! We just floated down the river along with our cooler full of...beverages. Dylan and Brooke (Kayti was still at the beach at the time) really enjoyed it and so we will definitely be doing it again soon...but first...
I gotta heal! In Arizona, there were no shoals or rapids...the Cahaba has quite a few! I am scraped or bruised on nearly every part of my body--especially my right thigh and left shin! Those rocks are terrible! Jeff cut a big gash in his toe and sliced up his arm but he still said it was fun! I didn't expect it to be that crowded either...but everyone on the river is your friend, I did discover! LOL
If you haven't been, I highly recommend it!
Here are just a few pictures that we took afterward--no way I was taking my camera or cell! Maybe next time I'll get a waterproof disposable camera like we got when we went snorkeling.
And no, I did NOT get burned! lol Told yall I rarely do--too much Native American in me I guess--but Dylan did. Guess the genes get weaker and weaker with each generation!
I have SO much that I need to share with my inner circle bloggy buddies but I don't even know where to start. This past month has been a roller coaster of emotions for me and I dont see a break in the near future...lots of changes coming up and I would really covet your prayers for me and especially my children. They are my whole world and I don't know who or what I'd be without them.
My last day at the Academy was a few weeks ago and still no other job offers. Quite frankly, it's scaring the hell out of me. I am still working on my other writing but our computer issues at home are making that difficult as well.
I am very happy and excited to report that since I started Zumba, I am down 20 pounds!!!! That's T W E N T Y!!! (2 sizes) I've never lost that much weight before and am SUPER excited about the results and the way that my body looks and feels. I am going to be speaking at a church (the one that hosts our group as a ministry) in the next few months giving testimony about it but I'll be sharing it here first with you guys--just need time to get my thoughts coherent.
I also recently ran my first 5k with my bff Donna! We did the Pink Ribbon Fun Run in Gardendale last Friday, July 23 and I am so proud to have not only finished but finished in an upright position and was not LAST!!!
We only decided to do this a few weeks before so we trained hard. Now I think I've been bitten by the running bug as well as the zumba bug! I've signed up/planning on running four more in the next three months already:
9/11--Paws for Cause to benefit Shelby Humane Society, Hoover
9/18--race to benefit The Basement at Church of the Highlands, Trussville
10/9--Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure, Linn Park (I'm extremely excited about this one--my goal for this is to run the entire thing! I'm going to be on my friend from college, Peggy's team. She is a 17 year breast cancer survivor!!!)
10/16--Maple Leaf Run, Trussville
If you are interested in joining me, please let me know--I would love to have a partner/buddy and you don't have to run the whole route. I run some walk some usually except for the Susan G. Komen and I hope to be ready to run that one entirely by then.
Hope you all have a great week!
