Work will win when wishy washy wishing won't

Tom and I out in the dark, but otherwise perfect morning....except the dang dog that gave us a little scare!  It was so dark we had a hard time seeing the dog which made it's threatening barks even more scary!  We changed our route so we didn't have to come back by him again but instead we had to be on a heavy traffic road which we didn't like either.

So I have a stand up hobby which is running and a new sit down hobby which is quilting.  I have just finished my very first quilt top and am getting ready to put it on the frame for some good old fashion quilting.  

Still able to enjoy the star lit mornings with my hubby!  No moon to give us light so the stars are very bright.  We saw 5 shooting stars this morning!  That is better than in August when there were suppose to be tons of them.  We always sit out and try to see them then but it's usually cloudy or we are out at the wrong time.  This morning they were just doing their thing for us to enjoy. 

It's been 11 months and one day since we dropped our son off in the empty sea, (oops, I mean MTC!).  He is doing great in Denmark, learning  new things and sharing his testimony with many people!  It's a great experience to be a missionary mom! 

Tom wanted to sleep in a bit today and get his hill work in during the sunlight hours but I needed to get done so I can head to SLC for an appointment.  So I got up and ran with the dog.  We stayed in the neighborhoods instead of venturing off into the dark wilderness.  Even though I was in the more lit up town lights I still saw 3 shooting stars this morning!  Six yesterday and 3 today!  There must be some shooting star exhibit going through our area....I don't usually get to see that many.  One went all the way across the sky in front of  me!  Very fun indeed!  Look at all those wishes I get! 

Tom and I are afraid we are getting to the end of our perfect early morning runs!  Today was still warm but overcast.  It sounds like rain tomorrow and possibly snow Tuesday.  It would be nice to have a little bit of a gradual decline, but hey.....October has been fantastic!   

Tom had to go to St. George for an HOA meeting and to take some supplies down to the condo.  The kids had too many things going this weekend so he had to make the trip alone while I hold down the fort here at home. 

Since I knew I didn't have my built in running buddy I wanted to make sure to get up and go with the running group.  If I would have known I was going to end up going alone I would have given myself another hour in bed and waited for the sun to poke it's head over the moutntain. 

There were actually two ladies there at first, the first one dropped off quickly because she hasn't been running much lately.  The second one noticed some of her speedy friends at about 2.5 miles so she moved on with them.  That left me in a pretty dark area alone and I didn't like it so much.  I headed  back into town and stayed in the city lights for the rest of the run. 

I only got about 5 hours of sleep and that just doesn't cut it for me....so after getting home and showering I got some cozy jammies on and snuggled back into bed.  : )
