A Marathon, 3 Years, and South Dakota.

From August

Jenny ran and finished a marathon in Hurley, Wisconsin last Saturday. She finished in 4 hours and 7 minutes, which was good for 10th out of 54 women. So, pretty good! I drove around and watched her run at six or seven different spots.

It was a weird marathon. They moved the starting line 2 miles west of where it was on the map they mailed us and check-in was in this white van... It also sold ice cream (if you don't live in Rochester, you won't get this). Also, Hotels.com messed up our reservation at the Super 8 the night before, so we got to stay at a "nice "place that was $41. We got our money's worth... ick. We also had to stay the night in Michigan...

Two weekends ago, we went with ~30 other people from our church on a missions trip to Sisseton, SD. We were there from Friday to Monday. We mostly partnered with a Native American Church, but also worked with a White Church (both CMA). We did a free car wash for the community, redid a bathroom and bedroom for a woman, put a new roof on a shed, attended both church services, did a VBS for kids in the community, ate homemade donuts, and other many other activities. It was a good time, and we would like to go back again. Above is myself, Sherman, and Joel after scraping plaster off a ceiling.

Jenny and I also celebrated our 3 year anniversary. We kept it low key and went on a bike ride to Quarry Hill. We had a nice picnic. I'm one lucky guy.

Other Items
- After the marathon we drove to Ben and Jaime's new house and had dinner and Wii with them.
- We've been playing a lot of Agricola - a great game if you like strategy board games (i.e. Puerto Rico)
- We our 75% through the Minor Prophets in our small group. Next up is Zechariah, which is interesting.
