Personal:

My Favorite Quote- "When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you, till it seems as though you could not hold on a minute longer, never give up then, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn." -Harriet Beecher Stowe

I have recently lost a lot of weight and running is very new to me (I started running about 2 years ago). I have 6 fantastic kids, 3 girls and 3 boys and a wonderful husband.

My new weight goal is to have lost 100 pounds. I am quite sure I can get to about 93, but I am not sure about the 100. The weight tracker is tracking my total weight loss.

Total Distance

2.00

parents tread mill (YUCK! It needs to be adjusted, it slipped the whole time!)

fisherman's warf. We had very little time to spend in SF so we went straight to the warf to EAT!!! Eating is our families favorite sport! We at at Alioto's. I was a lovely restaurant that overlooked the bay. I had clam chowder in a sour dough bread bowl and a crab Caesar salad. The bread and butter is my favorite!!!

ghirardelli square. Then we were pressed for time to get out of the city before traffic (2-3pm) We had no choice but to speed walk to Ghirardelli square for sundaes! I had a hot fudge sundae that was TO DIE FOR!!!! I had them give me more fudge. YUMMM!!!!

We checked into the hotel and went traipsing around the Walnut Creek area. We went to my parents high school, Clayton Vally. We went to the country club, Aunt Helens and then out to dinner with my Uncle Scott and Aunt Kathy.

I loved the hotel we stayed in. It was an Embassy Suites and it had a huge courtyard with coy ponds and a tropical forest. Good times, fast times!!! :D

I have great memories of San Francisco, in fact it's is where Rachel and I met our freshman year. I miss the weather and the food. We were on a high school budget back then, but we knew where to get an amazing turkey sandwich and great Thai roasted chicken.

I envy you in California! Warm weather, good food, family! You are such a good big sister to go find your little brother!! What a story!! Soak it all in Marion!!!

Mike- Freshman in High School? DAvid and I met when I was 14 and he was 15. I thought we were the only ones who met in high school. We were in San Jose back then. He used to wash his big brothers Fiero and Mustang to take me out!

Les- I will treasure my mini weekends :)
