I sure love you.
I was sorry to hear that you were beginning to fee the stresses of class. I imagine that's a good thing though, right? If you didn't care—if it wasn't important—it wouldn't be hard or stressful. You must be feeing this way because of how good and important what you're doing is. And I know that you'll be incredible at it.
Just make sure you let me know anytime there's more that I can do for you. I'll help in anyway I can (just shy of doing your homework for you—that's more my schtick to have others do it for me :)
So I actually checked this morning and Brother Ike's daughter's house is the .5 mile mark. Just a little past the driveway, actually. That white house with the weird things out front is .6 miles. Turns or it's only about .3 miles from our house to the end of our road. So it's .7 from our house to the other stop sign—almost a mile-and-a-half there and back.
Anyway, I was thinking last night that I still never really enjoy the run itself—but I do appreciate having done it when I finish. And I always have a clear goal in front of me when I run: that I want to run that 5K with you (and maybe more someday). I think I may pare back on the evening workouts though. We'll see. I think there are other things I'd rather do with that time. But I'll keep running, because I like knowing that I can run with you now. Maybe I can't go so very far as you can, but I can run with you for a while :)
Nolan is really interested in a pumpkin patch next year. I think I may offer to help him with that if he helps me with a vegetable garden. I appreciate his work ethic and willingness to follow-thru on his interests. He's a good kid.
They all are. We're really lucky parents.
Well, I love you and I'll be seeing you soon.
You have my whole heart.
