Running is a Sport

We spent the weekend in Arlington, Texas this weekend with Jacob's cross country team at the regional meet. I was surprised at the number of participants and spectators. Who knew running was such a big sport in high school? Running is actually new to Jacob, but he likes it and is pretty good at it. Their team came in tenth, which is respectable. They have a few freshman (Jacob included) running this year so it is a young team. Our team's shirts said, "Why are you chasing us?" on the back. It made me laugh. Another one said, "Our sport is your sport's punishment!" Cross country coaches has a sense of humor as well.
For those wondering, we will not be home for Thanksgiving. Well actually we will be home...in Texas. I am a little excited about having the whole responsibility of dinner by myself. I feel so gorwn-up this year. I am getting lots of good recipes from The Pioneer Woman Cooks. After Thanksgiving, I will be heading back to Georgia to stay with Marin and be there for all of her Nutcracker activites. She is so excited about getting to be a "cousin" this year. She is also dancing as an Angel. Of course, she is always an angel, you know!
I am all caught up. This blogging thing is hard to get started, but getting better. I don't know how all these blogs that I read keep it up so faithfully. I am a little too ADD for that, I think.
Have a happy!
