Happy Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving is a time to reflect on our blessings. If you have a roof over your head, clothes on your back and a wonderful meal to enjoy with your family and friends, you are truly blessed.
No one should go to bed hungry.

Jack's "Surfing into 6th Grade" Party
It's inevitable...Middle School.
As a parent, I know these will be challenging years. Pimples, independence and hormones. It will also be exciting watching my little guy grow and learn as he develops into a young man.
Jack, I wish you happiness, enlightenment, success, new friends, a great sense of adventure and many laughs as you enter this new chapter of your life.

Crazy Clouds
Mother Nature never ceases to amaze me. Look at these magnificent pink, purple and blue clouds above our home at sunset (a couple weeks ago).

New Year's Resolutions
Last January, I posted my three New Year's resolutions, "I want to run 1000 miles and another full marathon. I also want to start the process of having the city I live in “Ban the Bag.” Did I ever tell you I hate plastic bags?!
I accomplished one out of three.
I ran another full marathon. I did not reach my goal of running a total of 1000 miles throughout the year, only 775 miles. I mainly wasn't able to achieve this goal due to injuries the first quarter of the year and then I took the month of December off to get fat and jolly. I am still very proud of myself for running 775 miles, that's more miles than I've probably run in my lifetime!
My final goal was to "ban the bag." Back in March, during a City Council meeting, a courageous 7th grader beat me to the punch... urging a city ban on plastic bags. Rebekah Bearse said,"Plastic bags are a waste and that is all there is to it. This is a waste that can be prevented and stopped." She brought attention to possible toxins the community and wildlife are being exposed to and urged Murrieta to impose a ban.
In order for Rebekah's proposal to result in a vote, a council member needed to request it (which they wouldn't).
Douglas Gibbs of Murrieta, disagreed with banning plastic bags. This is what he said, (I copied this from the City of Murrieta, City Council Minutes):
"Reusable bags could become a health hazard if they are not washed regularly. He shared the argument that if you do wash them, they can put dangerous chemicals in the water. Mr. Gibbs stated that the planet is resilient and does not need to be saved."
Our planet doesn't need to be saved? What the hell?! I can't believe I live here.
So, what are my plans for 2014? To run a 1000 miles and create a vision board on Pinterest of Bend, Oregon...where we will live someday.
