Run, Forrest, Run!!

A LOT (not to be confused with alot) has happened since my last post. We had quite the big snowstorm in Austin (aka 1/2 inch of snow) that closed down the entire city. Schools were canceled and roads were terrible! I was pretty grateful to have a day off from school. I can only remember one time in my life growing up in Utah that school was canceled because of snow. Everyone freaks out here, it's pretty funny. Along with the freezing temperatures, we had frozen pipes in our apartment! So fun! I woke up one morning with a dome of ice in the bathtub drain so that I couldn't take a shower. Our kitchen sink and dishwasher wouldn't drain either so that was fun... Thank goodness for good friends who let us shower at their place until we had working pipes again. Our drains were clogged for a good five days.

School has been going fine. This past week was full of the first concerts of the semester. I'm taking a class about human learning and behavior which is pretty interesting but it's a lot more work than I was hoping for my last semester of school. Oh well. I'm learning a lot and I hope to be a better teacher because of this class.

Today Bryce completed his first marathon! He did great! I thought he was crazy when he signed up for it, especially considering that he'd never run more than 3 miles in his life as of last June. He finished in 3 hours and 54 minutes which was slower than he was hoping, but he didn't walk once during the race! Pretty impressive if you ask me. I'm very proud of him. Here's some pics of him during the race.

At 15 miles. Lookin good!

Around mile 22. Almost done!


All done! He did it!
