Shamrock 8K 2009

Morgan ran in the Shamrock 8K this morning. We all supported her. We were up and out of the house at 6:30 this morning. She is in the Running Club at school so we met them at 7am. The sponsoring teacher picked orange for the t-shirts. Great choice. We were able to spot everyone in their group very, very easily. The running started at 8. She did fabulous. (8K is 5.1 miles)

.

But, shhhhh. She is now sleeping. Pooped her right out.

Morgan, along with her Aunt, who is running the 1/2 marathon tomorrow, have talked me into training for a run in June.

What was I thinking?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Oh yeah, this layout was created with freebies from A Cherry on Top. Found it this morning. After we got home. How perfect is that!

Hoppy 12th Birthday Morgan

Before you were conceived I wanted you

Before you were born I loved you

Before you were here an hour I would give my life for you.

This is the miracle of life.

Morgan, You are one of the most amazing people I know. I am so very proud of the young woman you are blossoming into. Your sense of caring and justice is admirable in someone so young. I am the luckiest mom on the planet. Happy Birthday sweetheart.

(No, that is not a typo. I meant Hoppy. Morgan loves frogs. I love her, so... it is Hoppy Birthday.)
