Don't be too surprised I am blogging again. I will be doing it more often since I don't have any friends and need a way to vent! Just kidding but seriously. A lot has changed over the past year since I last blogged. We are now back in Alaska and bought our first house. We love it and Ian is doing an awesome job of remolding and of course I do an awesome job of picking out what would look good. The kids are adjusting well. Aliyah loves school and Maddox is starting to communicate better which is good for everyone involved. You may think he is speaking gibberish but if you listen closely you will hear actually words. Aliyah loves having family close and asks almost everyday if she can go to grandma's and see the boys. And by boys I mean her uncles who are 17 and 19. Ian and I are still running. We ran our first half marathon and marathon this past summer and are now training for the LA Marathon in February. I am excited and anxious. I really want to improve my time. Running is nice because it is sometimes the only time we see each other. I also like it because I get to be out doors in beautiful Alaska and with the right gear an if you don't stop moving it isn't too cold. Sometimes I get to run with my big brother. That is fun too since he is so good at it and keeping me positive. If it wasn't for the full support of my family through encouragement and babysitting I would never get to run. They drive me to do well and not just with running. Running also keeps me sane. With opening up a new Target in Alaska , getting ready for the holidays, and while trying to have a life it can get tricky. Anyways I think Ian and I are going to go on a run before I work tonight. Is anyone available to babysit?
