I ran my first 5k!

My goals:
1) to actually run a 5k
2) to do it without stopping (no walking)
3) to do it in under 35-40 minutes.

I did it!! I ran 3.1 miles in 32 minutes 15 seconds!
It was a really cool experience and such a great accomplishment to have beat my expectations!
(before)

It was AMAZING because the run was put on by River of Life Mission, which is a Christian organization that helps to feed and love on the hungry and homeless on Oahu. There was prayer beforehand and worship music playing during the race - How cool is that?!?!

I found a girl to take my and Ashley's before and after photos on her phone ;)

As Hebrews says, "Run with endurance the race that is set before us..." 

Finished!!! (and TIRED!)

All of our belongings arrived this morning! We have it all! Big truck, three huge crates and a team of 5 showed up on the doorstep at 8:45 AM this morning. They must have thought I was weird - as each item came through the door I got the hugest smile! Like "oh, there is the table from the Hargroves...and there are the couches...boxes of wedding gifts I have not opened yet!..." you get the idea. Here is our bedroom before... and after! Living room before... And after! Kitchen before... And After!! The movers only took one hour to get it all into the house. The first thing I did when they left? Sat down on the couch in the living room. I just remember sitting on them at the parent-Dellar's house and all the fun times I have had at their house; the BBQs, the prayer nights and Bible studies, cuddling up on them when Nick was gone (in Kona, Cape May, Virginia, Honolulu). And NOW I am sitting on them in our house here! I just couldn't believe it. THEN the thought entered my...

So! This weekend was pretty full with unpacking all our fun things. It is so incredible how loved I have felt the last few days; having a couch to cuddle up on, real plates and real utensils to eat with, candles galore, a kitchen table and chairs!! (not to mention all the appliances that I got and am dying to use!) I just love being home now! Here is me with my new amazing tea pot standing in one of the first open boxes. Here are our cups, plates and mugs sitting on our kitchen table - they are just beautiful! Here was my first dinner on our real plates!   Sunday I went to church and sat by the other two Coastie wives whose husbands are on the Jarvis. I came home and unpacked a few more boxes, then decided to end the afternoon with a run by the beach + jump in the water and layout session :) As the empty boxes get pushed closer to the door, I will take some more shots of the house and how it is coming together!
