Count them one by one

... and it will surprise what the Lord has done!

It has been an incredible weekend!  Since I'm tired, I think I'll let the pics do the majority of the talking.

Saturday was my 1st 5K like ever!  I decided to do something unique, in style, crazy maybe- I did a zombie run called Dead Man's Dash.  The goal was to complete the 5k, obstacles, all while being chased by zombies- yay?

So above is the front- I really wanted to tie-dye the shirt, but the whole thing turned bright pink.  I wanted like an innocent look for the front and a bloody mess on the back- but I still think it turned out ok.  I free-handed the zombies on the back since I couldn't find an iron-on for any zombie.

For pity's sake, I put "not an athlete" on the front and back of the shirt.

ZOMBIES!!!

I ran the race with Binon.  The zombies were REALLY ruthless.  We ran in groups of 8, by the end there were 3 of us.

After, we went to IHOP for lunch.  It was ok, the potato soup was delicious.

We went to Cabela's that was across the street to buy some fudge and came across a motorcycle rally for area officers!

The bikes were AWESOME and similar to Shawn (ya know, distant cousins).  We got to watch some cone races.

It was big- and I somehow got some free samples of dog food- because everyone knows motorcycle rallies have dog food vendors, right?

Sadly, Sweet Pea decided the ride home was the perfect time to DESTROY THE TRANSMISSION.  SADNESS!!!  I was stranded in Irving.

But at least I got stranded in a nice area.  An officer came and waited with me until the tow truck showed up about 20 minutes later.

My hero!

Ruthless zombies....  Another girl and I from our group were thrown to the ground so our flags (lives) could be taken.



Even though my car is toast, I was stranded, and I couldn't get out of pain from pain today- I started to think about how incredibly blessed I am. (no particular order)

• I was stranded at a time when I wasn't busy and had a few hours to spare
• I had the money to pay for the tow
• I had a place to tow to without much thought
• I received a free chiropractic exam for my spinal problems- pretty cool
• I was stranded in a nice area on a nice day
• I could still complete my job because I had other transportation (motorcycle)
• My loving Heavenly Father planned for this day enough in advance that I had a motorcycle license, the ability, and the confidence to ride my bike as long and far as I needed to for work

I know that I will probably have to purchase a new car that I can't afford, but I'm confident that my Father will provide a way for me to finance it.  I've have been so blessed with keeping my pets, my hotel, my job, my supportive family, etc.  I have no reason to doubt or complain.  It's been a wonderful month so far and it's the beginning of the Christmas season and I feel the love of my Savior.
