13.1

Well, I did it. 13.1 miles of Denver pavement have now been graced by my feet. It was a good run, though my body is currently not very happy with me. Not only did all the music make for a good run, but it was fun to run through Denver. Because I like Denver- a lot.

So, the question is... do I try for a full? I have to admit I was pretty happy to be turning right toward the finish line at mile 12.

And this is just because I'm in a happy Denver mood right now.

Tomorrow

Tomorrow is the day the last two months of sweat, side cramps, and tired legs has all been for- the Denver Rock n' Roll 1/2 Marathon!

Let's go run for fun!

Yo Ho, Yo Ho

Remember that post about my hobby being people? Well, let's just say pirate parties are a lot of fun. ARRRR!

Also, special guests jack-o-lantern pirate Andrew and the two week old new Dread Pirate Roberts were also in attendance.

A Little Scary...

How well I related to this article. How I laughed out loud at how it pin-pointed what I consider my strengths and weaknesses (albeit incompletely). Very interesting.

Next Steps Towards Ordination

On Thursday of last week, Eric traveled up to Cheyenne, WY to meet with the Rocky Mountain Presbytery (spanning Colorado, Wyoming, and Montana), come under care of the Presbytery, and become an intern of the Presbytery. What all of that boils down to is that I've officially got some degree of oversight, accountability, and support while finishing up my last two years at Denver Seminary and pursuing ordination in the PCA following graduation.

In addition to passing the ordination exams following graduation, I also have a number of ministry-related items to undertake while I'm an intern of the Presbytery over the next few years (preaching, teaching, planning various types of services, etc.).

Last Saturday, we went with our good friends to see these.






Enough said.

Happy One Day Birthday!

Dear Caleb,

You don't know this yet, but you are one lucky kid. You have two amazing parents- trust me. I'll remind you of this as a teenager! Your mommy and daddy have been friends with me for 8 (eight!) years and have been there for me in good times and hard times. And they'll do an even more amazing job of being there for you.

So trust me Caleb- you're super blessed. Especially because your parents didn't pick any of their friends' lovely name choices- like Job or Duck or Bear or Treasure or Scavenger.

Love,

aunty nicole
