I am getting ready to leave for the Mediterranean.  I am all packed up (I hope) I will be leaving for 2 weeks!!   I will take lots of pictures and if someone will post them when I get back I will share a couple of my favorites.

Kyle ran the Chicago Marathon today!!  Both he and his brother Brent finished.....poor Brent injured his knee, but finished....UGH!!  I don't think I could bike 26 miles.  So I am very proud of him (both of them).  He has put in LOTS of time training for this and finished in about 3 hours 45 minutes.   Congrats Kyle and Brent.  Brent also passed the Barr exam on his first try...his is so bright.  He has a job in Chicago and will do very well for himself after working so hard at the University of Michigan to get his law degree.

I will start chapter 2 of my book when I return from my trip.  I hope it is as easy to write as chapter 1.  Well off to bed for some shut eye before the big trip. YIPPEE!!

BELIEVING....Shelly
