blame it on my iphone

So I got an iphone, and it has altered my computer habits drastically! I never thought it would, but the time I spend in front of our laptop has been drastically reduced by the small computer that fits in the palm of my hand! :)

This has been good for me considering that I spend more time doing other things, but it has been BAD for my blogging! I didn't even get the prayer up yesterday!

I ran the 5k this past Saturday, and I was so pleased with myself because I ran the whole way! Remember when I said I was shooting for just under 10 minute mile pace? Well, it turns out that I grossly overestimated my speed.... For some weird reason, I thought that my 5 mile an hour pace on the treadmill was the equivalent of a 10 minute mile.... WRONG.

Bill came downstairs during my run, noticed that I was running much slower than 10 minute mile pace and gently broke the news to me... I was so disappointed that I was actually running 12 minute miles!

However, for the race, I ran an 11:24 mile pace so I was happy with that! I ran faster than I do on the treadmill, and I felt good the whole way! :)

I am really excited to keep running, and I have made a personal goal to run a 5k every couple of months. I also hope to continue running whenever we get pregnant again. I have been incredibly out of shape when I was pregnant with both of our girls, and I would really like to try and exercise more the next time around.

We have decorated for Christmas, and I love it! I get so festive around the holidays, and I am currently wearing a bright green long sleeved shirt that says JINGLE in gold lettering.... :) Shameless, I know....but I LOVE IT!

I got a Fontanini Nativity set last year for Christmas, and I was so excited to make it center stage this year! I put the donkey and the cow on my Christmas list to fill the stable stalls, and of course baby Jesus has yet to arrive. :) (I know, I know, the three wisemen shouldn't be there either, but they are so cute and complete the scene so nicely!)

I love our tree! We always get a real Frasier Fir, and our house smells heavenly! We always have a hodge podge of ornaments, but the ones on the bottom are all shatter proof!! I love them, and it is a great idea for people with cats or toddlers! :) They look great, and you honestly cannot tell the difference!

Also, prayer buddy, if you could please pray for a spirit of abandonment to God's will for me, that would be wonderful. We have been presented with a possible job opportunity for Bill in the next year and a half that would entail moving 8 hours away... I will write more about this later, but any prayers would be appreciated! Thank you so much!
