Hills, Friends and A Toro

Tonight´s escapade  late evening jog was met by many hills! This normally would get me running the other way in search for an easier way, but a new friend and her sons wanted to come out with us tonight, so we tackled these hills!

Yes, I said "us". 

Typically, I jog with our dog, Toro ( which means "bull" in English), He pulls incessantly and is as stubborn as a donkey, but he keeps me company when I go jogging at night. Tonight, however, all three of my boys and their friends decided to take Toro out with me. Which means, we all were going to the park together. 

 " There goes my peaceful jog to think and listen to music!" I thought, but instead I joyfully  hurried the troop out the door to the great outdoors. It was, after all, getting late.

My new friend and I managed to do two big laps, (3Km) and some abdominal exercises, when out of nowhere our Toro comes running to give my new friend a kiss right on the nose!


"Hey, I don´t even know your name," she laughs out loud. 

Oh, thankfully she likes dogs. 

The boys are laughing, throwing each other around, swinging and zip lining as if it were a summer night! It was so hard to tell them it was time to go home. 

I love this park, where I used to take my little boys. It was as if I heard their laughter from a time past. 

What was only to be a quick 30 minute jog, turned out to be a fun, chaotic adventure! That´s what happens when the hills meet 6 boys and a Toro!

When I came home tonight from a meeting, this is what greeted me and just warmed my heart!

My dear hubby making his new favorite meal - shrimp tempura (with some veggie tempura to make me even more happy)



My middle son, Andrew, working on his last few lessons of math to get ahead. (yes, really, he decided he wanted to have a lighter day tomorrow)

My youngest son, Michael, doing all of his school work for tomorrow, so he can help his "Coach Daddy" paint their football helmets! 

My oldest son, Isaiah, with all his homework done! 

Working-out while watching one of our favorite series with my family. ( me working- out and the rest watching)

Bringing to my mind the verse my dear hubby and pastor preached yesterday,

"Therefore, my beloved brethern, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord." 

1 Corinthians 15:58 

Be Strong and Consistent,
