Okay, the marathon has not started yet, but Jon did make it safely to Chicago yesterday. His brother Greg road his motorcycle over from Detroit so they were able to enjoy the evening together. Today Greg heads out and Jon will join his team for all of the pre-marathon activities.
A huge THANK YOU! to many of you who made donations to World Vision for the Nkhoma ADP in Malawi. As of this morning, over $2,005 had been donated via Jon's efforts. We are so grateful for your participation.
Keep the runners in your prayers as they are anticipating a high of 88 tomorrow. The nonprofessional runners won't start the race till 8:00 a.m. and with humidity in the 70s, I imagine it will be pretty miserable by the end of the run.
We did have our own excitement at home yesterday. When I picked Joshua up from school, I found my boy with a missing tooth. We had been waiting for this for a number of weeks now. The tooth has been "mostly dead" but Joshua didn't want to pull it. He ended up being accidentally hit in the face and out came the tooth. The tooth fairy visited last night, so all is well at home.
Some of you may be wondering about our new home. Last Saturday we picked out the specific items for inside and on Monday night we met with the contractor about the outside package. Now we are waiting for a final quote on the whole thing and approval from the mobile home park management and the city. Hopefully we'll have more news next week.
