Color Run

There is not enough words to even begin to describe the AWESOME experience we had at the Color Run!! My kids are still talking about it and asking when we can do it again!! We had so much fun with this run, it was much needed, a little emotional, but we know that Matt was shaking his head at us and laughing all at the same time!

Hunter and Hayley caught a little nap on the way

Once we got there, we  were all decked out for our run with these awesome shirts (that Jenn surprised us with!)


crazy socks,
Hayley and Claire
 and arm tattoos,
(Hayley had Matt's name on one arm and Dawson's on another)

I can't begin to tell you all how much I love this gal--we are logging lots of miles together and whatever is said on the road stays on the road; we have solved so many world problems together!  She is the true definition on someone who has taken her marriage vows so seriously: in good times/bad, sickness and health, richer and poorer.  She is the strongest woman I know and has the most amazing angel, Matt, looking down on her!
me and Jenn
Hunter took off with Jenn, Morgan and Terry towards the front. I was a bit overwhelmed at all the people and was afraid that I was going to get trampled over so I hug towards the middle with "little Jennifer" and Lee Anne. Janet was so kind to let Hayley walk with her, Claire, and John. It was nice knowing that she was taken care of and I could run without having to worry about her. Thanks, Janet!!
little jenn and me
Hayley shared a moment with Janet when they finished

Hunter finished the race in a 28 minutes, he was beyond PROUD!! This is his first 5K and he is all about it, told me that he is running the Mini with us....not yet, buddy!! Jenn told me that he kept wanting to take off so she had to put the reigns on him!! LOVE IT!!

I think the after party was just as much fun as the race, there are really no words to describe it, its something that everyone should get to experience for themselves!!


We had color in places that I didnt' know were possible--it was awesome!!

The best gym teacher/co worker/ friend ever.....
Little Jenn broke out the sexy shorts for this occasion, we all were jealous and couldn't keep our hands off them(and her)

We headed back to the cars to change clothes and head out to breakfast, I looked over and saw this..
Just another sign that Matt was there with us that day!! Nobody else shirt was like that, just Jenn's!

Me and my babies

our numbers,

cool socks,

and bracelets,

We are so thankful and blessed for this amazing group of people--we have shared tears, laughter, love, stories, sorrows and joy together. I still say that God has worked in a mysterious way and he brings people into your life for a reason.  LOVE my Miles for Matt group!!

***Only thing that I would of done differently today would be:*****
Run and cross the finish line with Jenn, since it was my first race
 Go visit Matt while we were still all covered in color
(we went later that evening, and kids wrote him a note telling him all about it!)
