My cousin Alexis is a freshman cross-country runner at Oklahoma Wesleyan University. She's fun. She's beautiful. And she's FAST! We got to run together when she was in Cincy for Christmas break, and she kicked my fanny on the hills around my brother's house, but it was a fun treat.
Well, she qualified for the NCCAA Nationals - which was held at IWU in Marion! So we got to go watch her race.
The kids love to have Aunt Chelle read to them and tell her wild made-up stories! |
We knew Grandma Parsons would have been there with bells on, cheering and smiling. We miss her.

Allie did an awesome job running, then she got back on her bus with her team and they headed back to Bartlesville, OK. It was a great experience to see all of the top Christian university teams competing under one roof. These are kids who are disciplined and dedicated Christian athletes. It was intense and awesome.
It was a great day. We are privileged to be part of one of the closest extended families I know. I love and miss them so much!

and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others,
I myself should become disqualified.
