As of today it had been 27 days since I had been to my Kosama gym. I am used to going every day! All of September I fought a really nasty cough and had little to no energy. Everyone told me to stay away from working out as it would just prolong my illness. Total […]

Sometimes it’s the little bit extra
Last Sunday I was registered to run the Avera Race Against Breast Cancer 5K. I was so excited. I ran this last year and the whole event is so awesome. I’ve been fighting a really bad cough and all the side effects that go along with it and wasn’t sure I could run but I […]

I’ve gotten into biking. I mean – big time! A few weeks ago Chris and Ashley invited me on a bike ride on our bike trails to the Sioux Falls Falls and back. I thought they were crazy to go that far but it was so much fun. I started biking every day and last […]

I gave birth to our fourth child, Sean Christian, on August 13, 1985. Sean was a ten-pound, eight-ounce baby. Yes, you read that right! When he was born he looked like a two-month old! The pictures below are my mom and dad holding him for the first time. Do you think they look a little […]
