Thankful Thursday

Tomorrow G and I are picking up K and heading for Indianapolis.  Later in the day, E, N, and M will meet us at the Hard Rock Cafe for dinner.  Then hopefully we will all get a good night's sleep in our room at the downtown Embassy Suites, so we will wake up rested and ready to go to the . . .

Indianapolis Monumental Marathon!

E is going to run the marathon (her second time) and G and K are running the 5k just for fun.  If we had planned ahead, M could have run with them, but she's a faster runner so she probably would have left them in the dust.  : /  Nate and I will be happy to find a Starbucks and chill until G and K are done, and then we'll all pile in the Suburban and head out to find E somewhere along the course, hopefully around the halfway point.

I am thankful that our family has this pre-Thanksgiving opportunity to be together.  Usually I see K at least several times each month and I just saw E a month ago in Decatur, but it's been almost three months since I've seen M.  The last time we were together, it was the week before fall semester started at Purdue -- that was a long time ago and a lot has happened since then.

It will be good for us to be together again, even if it's only for a brief time.  : )
