On December 8th, Mike ran a marathon... maybe his last. Here is what he shared on Facebook-
"After 16 years since my first marathon and 9 tries, I finally finished sub 4 hrs, which has been my goal ever since I started. Ran 3:48 in the CIM in Sacramento this morning. 💪🤩🏃 May well retire from marathoning now, but let’s see. Right after is not a good time to decide. Thanks Carrie Thompson for coming to support me, even though it will drive her crazy that I’ve now run one more than her 🤣"
Most years they are traveling somewhere for Christmas, but this year they were just at home. The top picture in the photo collage is from 13 years ago in Spain. The bottom picture was this Christmas. Other picture is them in front of the temple. Then I included a couple of Nicks senior pictures. His senior picture completes my little photo wall in my bedroom. (One of my favorite pictures has always been a picture of Jaden, Nathan, Jared, and Nick, at Sam and Audrey's wedding. Now I have senior pictures of those four boys to go with it.)
PS I added a few more pics to this post, to clear out my other random Dec. pics 😉Mike sent us some "cat toys". The other pics might be from January?? But they are going in my Dec. post. The ice cream picture almost got the boys smiling 😄
