Grateful Sunday

It was a great week at the MacDougall house!
I am grateful for
  • our kind neighbor, who just decided to show up two nights this week with gloves on and spent hours with Tom moving bricks from the driveway to the backyard.
  • I started teaching piano lessons again this week after a two month break. I loved it, I have such great students.
  • School started this week - second grade, here we come!
  • I ran a half marathon yesterday and shaved 5 minutes off my time from last year - that's even including stopping for a bathroom break in the middle of it. I feel great today and am excited for my next race.

Have a great week

Laurel

Congrats on the run!!! I am impressed with anyone who can enter a race and not walk most of it. Especially if they enjoy it!

Don't you love great neighbors! Way to go on your time, I'm sure you have to feel great about that. Wow, second grade, how exciting.

Congrats on your half! Was it the Georgetown to ID Springs? I can't believe school is back in session already - didn't you just make her a goodbye 1st grade shirt like last month?!

Congrats on the run! I can't believe your daughter is back in school already. I don't got back until 8/31 and my students start the week after that!

You go girl! Way to beat your time. That is awesome.

I think summer gets shorter every year. I sure have been doing a lot of back to school hair. =)

Hi Laurel!
Congrats on the half marathon! That is fabulous.
I have only ever run a 5K. I haven't had the drive to work up to run more miles yet.
Thanks for stopping by my blog. I hope you visit again.
Have a blessed day.

OMG! You teach piano! That is fantastic - I can play, but teaching is something I'm not cut out for. Congratulations on your run - I miss it, my shin's acting up so I haven't been out recently. Making me antsy!
