Will and I were back at the indoor track today.  I was still stiff during the first mile and the first stride.  But, got the five miles with six strides done and I didn't feel too tired afterward.

Amanda, my current running pal, jumped up and squealed. I'm excited and I have to tell you that we decided that it's going to be Mary if it's a girl and.....another Willy Billy baby boy if it's a boy. Although I almost feel like I wouldnt' be loyal to your willy billy if I called another baby HIS name. I may have to think of another cool nickname for Will. Although Sasha wants his nickname to be Bill because we are naming him after this man named Bill Atkin who is the general consul for the church(head lawyer..he meets with the first Presidency all the time and we feel cool that we knew him once)

We knew him in Russian before he was soooo cool and he helped Sasha get to America. The man really performed a miracle in Sasha's behalf because he had already been turned down for a visa twice. (very hard to get a visa after being turned down by the snobs at the American Embassy in Moscow....they really didn't like him because he spoke English well) Anyway, thanks for the congrats. I'll be planting my garden soon and I might cry because it won't have any of your plants in it.
