Abigail Grace

Well, it happened. Abigail Grace Kairdolf turned 16! Amazing. Time sure does fly! Abbey had a great birthday week-Started it out with a great dinner at Olive Garden with all of us there. She got want she wanted (for about 4 years) a Cell Phone. We will have to send her to rehab for her text messaging addiction but I suppose she has to make up for lost time. Can you say "Unlimited texting"!!!! She then had a great party with about 25 friends from school and church. We rented an inflatable slide and the whole group wore it out for 4 hours. They all had a great time. Anyway, here are a few pics to enjoy!

13.1 Mission Accomplished

For those of you who don't know, we had a group at church decide to train for Murfreesboro's Middle Half Marathon. It was this Saturday and it was quite a challenge. It was hard! The entire group finished! All under 3 hours. I managed to finish in 2 hours and 24 minutes. Not too shabby! I am feeling it today though. If I move around I am ok but sitting still is a killer! It was so rewarding to be a part of a team/family that was so enthusiastic to cheer on others. I am ready (not this week or anything) to try it again. Doing something like this really teaches you a lot about yourself. Enjoy some pictures!
