Ben's Track Meet

Today was Ben's second and last track meet for this year. Last week the highest he jumped was 4' 8". Today his best was 4' 10"  :)

Below is the beginning to end run & jump ~

See how black his feet are from the ground? He had a blister on the top of his toe and asked if he could go barefoot. As you can see they said yes ~ It made us chuckle because he hates wearing shoes.

The farthest he jumped today was 16' 8". He said he gets better traction barefoot.  

It's always fun to watch Ben no matter what sport he's involved in. 

Good News! Heather found a job :) Her boss from her first CNA job begged her to come work for him. He's at a new place which is 40 miles south of here. The pay is awesome. Even with the extra gas she will bring more home than before. He also hired her best friend. She is very happy, of course :) God is good! 

I did go to the gym yesterday and my trainer measured me. I'm happy to say I've lost 3" off my waist and 1 1/4 " off my hips. To be honest though, I was thinking if only I had worked harder how many inches could I have lost BUT I'm celebrating this first victory :)
