the 1/2 marathon

The race was great and thank you all so much for your prayers that morning. I would love to know what kind of day our African child had that day. I imagine it was peaceful and fulfilling!

My time was 2 hours 15 minutes. Even though that's not my p.r. I was pleased with the finish because it was better than I expected. Ty and Ella cheered me on along the way as they always do! Ella wore her hot pink running shorts and white shirt just like Mommy! I was so excited to get to the finish line because they always have yummy snacks waiting for you there. I was totally prepared to eat a guilt-free Krispy Kreme! Well-there were none to be found! But don't worry, later I over did it on the chips and salsa! YUMMY!

Thank you again!

RUNNING FOR HER

From Casey:

If you know me, you know that I am a runner. I have been running for about 10 years. For the last 6 years I have done at least one full(26.2 miles) or half (13.1 miles) marathon each year. I love running!! I think a lot during my runs, it's a very peaceful time for me. This year most of my training runs have been spent thinking about adoption. When I started this training season in January, adoption was something I would dream about. It has now become an exciting reality! I think about Africa and our daughter over there the whole time I'm running!

Tomorrow, April 26th, I will be running the Music City Half Marathon in Nashville. The race starts at 7am. It should take me about 2 hours to run the race . Ty and Ella will be there cheering me on along the way.--- And this is where you come in. We are asking that during that time, you pray for our African daughter and our entire adoption process. And just whatever you feel led to pray about. We have witnessed the power of prayer in our lives and want this entire situation to be powered by prayer.

So... PLEASE PRAY APRIL 26TH 7-9AM


Ella and I made this shirt for me to wear during the race!!





Thank you in advance for your prayers.

ADOPTION UPDATE AND THANKS


Things are going great...we are just up to our necks in paperwork. But I am thankful for this because I feel like there is something we can be doing. Ella is excited for her little sister and prays for her everyday. Many have asked which adoption agency we are using and it is Christian World Adoption. As of today, they are our official agency. That's also very exciting!! Other than that there is not too much to report.

We want to sincerely thank you for you love, support, prayers and financial support.

Many of you have ordered coffee or sent money and that is greatly appreciated. We hope you love the coffee!! We will be doing that fundraiser during this entire process so feel free to order more in the future.
