Well, let me tell you about this girl. The last two months, her and The Commander's lives have been non-stop go go go. It was almost the end of April before they were notified that he had been accepted into grad school which changed up their life plans dramatically. Instead of heading for South America & the Peace Corps they were now focused on The Marriott School of Business, finding a place to live, applying for new jobs & moving. They ended up buying a home instead of renting and between job interviews, signing papers for the house and starting the moving process they made countless trips (5 hours each way) between Rexburg & Provo. Keep in mind they were still employed in Rexburg and doing all this in their "spare" time. May was a busy month.
But June made May look like child's play. With a house that needed some serious cleaning & renovating before they could move in they set to with a will and at the same time the DIL started not one but two jobs. Sometimes working 60 - 75 hours a week and while working that schedule managed to finish painting, re-carpeting plus lots of other detail work, move, unpack and still find time to train so that she could be in shape for the marathon she'd signed up for before she knew there would be days ahead of her when she was so physically exhausted she would just want to cry herself to sleep.
But she persevered.
And yesterday morning, after 13.1 miles she hit the finish line in just under two hours.
Now that's impressive.
