My morning run...

Well now that I have been here long enough to get into a routine, I decided that it is time to start working out again... I've become kind of lazy since I arrived and that definitely needs to stop. On that note, I was told about a park that I could go and run at so I went this morning. There I was with my Ipod in, listening to some motivating music, when I noticed a class of preschool age kids sitting at a table. I couldn't help but smile at them when I ran by. Not thinking anything of it, I kept running. As I lapped back around to that table, one little boy was now standing by the table looking at me and smiling. It made me smile once again and I kept running. As I lapped around for a 3rd time, the little boy was now standing at the sidewalk, waiting for me to pass. He looked at me and smiled the biggest smile that he could and I giggled and waved at him as I passed. Another lap around and I saw that the boy was not alone this time, but that three other students had joined him. He was the only one that waved at me, but the others smiled and watched as our pattern continued. I passed them about 3 more times and they all waved. By my last lap of running, the majority of the class was now standing by the sidewalk playing games, and when i would run by, they would stop, smile and wave. When my run was finished, I couldn't help but want to go on one more lap for a cool down, just to see what would happen. Well as I passed them, they waved once again, but this time, the little boy that had started the entire thing, gave my a flower as I passed. It was the sweetest thing ever! Really made my day! Oh... and I think I will go running there everyday just to see what new things I encounter...

My awesome nephew! 

On another happy note, I got some very exciting news from home this morning. My nephew, Phoenix, who will be 5 next month, asked Jesus into his heart today!!! All I can say is that I am one very happy Aunt Leslie =)
