Drowsy, but ambitious
I’m contemplating a move back to blogspot. I’m not sure about it yet and I want to be really sure because moving blogs 3 times would just be beyond annoying. Honestly, my biggest motivation to relocate in the first place to LOV was that I didn’t like my old name. I’m sure I had other reasons too, like Erik setting up this awesome layout for me, but I can’t get pictures to work here. All that being said, I did post pictures on facebook. Check em out.
I think I might do a triathlon this September. I did a half marathon in February and thought it would be a fun goal to try and do a run every spring and a tri every fall. (And by fun, I mean a way to get back in shape before I fill my uterus with baby again.) I’m currently reading A Walk in the Woods, by Bill Bryson. He intros the book by sharing a mistake he made. He had the idea to walk the Appalachian Trail and decided to announce his idea to all his friends and family. This is why I say I might do a triathlon. I would only have 10 weeks to train and this is the schedule I want to follow (starting tomorrow!)

Did I mention I’m going to be a preschool teacher??? More details to come. I’m so so so excited.
Other quick updates:
We’re taking the car in tomorrow AGAIN. It started getting the hiccups on the way to church. I am seriously contemplating life without a car. Seriously.
The Stonerook 3 are sick. Boo. The virus hit in typical order: C,V, then E. Carver’s nose started running on Friday, last night I had the excessive drool/have to sleep at an extreme incline night and now Ethan is starting to get the itchy throat. If this post seems a little off its because I took Tylenol PM about 2 hours ago.
Ethan got a 100% on his first PA school test! Did I mention I have a brilliant husband?
If you’re reading this, I probably miss you!
xoxo, Val
