so much has been going on lately, i can't wait to tell you all about it.

as you all should know, i have been blessed with the opportunity to go on a missions trip this summer to Cuba with my dad and Bill Devlin. (holllaaaa)

you can read about that trip here

well the big thing (which I should have posted about last week) is that my half marathon FINALLY came. and i ran it. with Sara and Schylo. and it was hard. really hard. but sooo worth it.

honestly, it was ~~probably~~ the hardest thing i've ever done, but i am so glad that i did it. i would actually do it again in a heartbeat. well, maybe 2 heartbeats.

next came spring break, and the first couple of days i did a lot of yard work. like, a lot. but then on thursday i went to visit my good friend Heather Bech. she loves it when i call her Heather.

{and coincidentally she was doing yard work, too}

but we went to church for the Maundy Thursday service. and i liked it a lot. i learned a lot.

// the Light (Jesus) has come into the darkness (Judas), but the darkness has not understood it. // We will fail, but his grace will restore us. // Without Christ we can't really know love because God is love. //

on Friday, i watched a lot of Friday Night Lights ( ha ha ha ).

Saturday brought more fun. I went to run or dye with my sister, Sarah, and my cousin, Jeannette.

team name: these colors don't run.

literally.

because we walked.

and then i went to visit my grandfather.

my grandfather is 89 years old. that's old. recently, he hasn't been doing well and he has been in and out of the hospital for various reasons. but mostly because he's old. anyway, when we went to see him on Saturday, he was doing really well. and it was bingo day so that made things even better.
