we did it!

And we have the shiny medals to prove it! There is absolutely NO way I could've finished without the help of my husband. He was my constant supporter. He pushed me mentally and even physically to keep going. We ended up taking the kids with us because they wanted to see us in the race. They hung out with my parents and we got to see them all when we were about 50 yds. from the finish line. It was so great to see them there cheering for us. A few seconds later my husband and I crossed the finish line hand in hand. There was no record breaking time but the feeling of finishing together was the best. Now we're a little sore but very proud of what we've done.

By the way, you can now take a peek at the first interview that I've posted on Crafty Synergy this year. Enjoy and have a great week!
