3 Months

Well it has been 3 months and a couple of days since I have last blogged anything. Several times I found myself sitting at the computer typing away and preparing something to post and the little voice in my head said don't do it. Sometimes that is how I roll. Other times I don't have a stinking clue as to how I roll.

Yesterday, as every October 28th is, was a pleasing yet difficult day for me. My youngest turned 16. What a thrill for him it is to have a drivers licence in hand. After speaking with him last night he is probably thinking about all the possibilities in front of him. Of course those possibilities are always going to turn out perfect in his eyes as I'm sure it does with every other 16 year old.

He brought me to tears earlier this month when I went back to Nebraska and watched him run in his conference championship for cross country. I can not explain with words how PROUD I was to watch his drive and determination while running 3.2 miles through pasture, woods, hills and corn fields. When I was 21 I ran 3 miles on a flat surface in 18:00 minutes and thought I was pretty much a stud. He runs 2/10th's further over a much more difficult path in 17:28. It leads me to believe I am nothing but a mere student to his ability. Did I say how PROUD I was of him? Yep, I guess I did. Well I am!!! The good thing is that he has two more years to improve and I know he is excited to do so.
