26.2 and 7,368

This has been a big week for the Taylor clan. This past Saturday Julie, Paul and Kevin ran in the Indy Monumental Marathon. Yes, that's right... 26.2 Miles!!  All three of them dug deep and made it across the finish line! They had quite a cheer team, equipped with loud cheers, signs (some appropriate, some not so appropriate) and as much enthusiasm as they could offer to the runners! It was a very fun day traveling all over Indy to see Julie, Paul & Kevin achieve such an amazing accomplishment. Congrats you guys!

Now we know that 26.2 miles is a long distance, but another distance we are well aware of this week is 7,368 miles. This is the distance from Indianapolis, IN to Okinawa, Japan. The time has come... its moving week for Lynn, Mike & Rusty! We were so excited that they could make it up to Indy on Monday for one last visit before their big trip! Everyone came over to our house for dinner. It was a bittersweet evening... we were so happy to see them, and very sad to say goodbye. We hope they have a safe trip to Japan and hope they know that we are only a "skype" away! Love you guys! (Can someone post some pictures from the evening, I don't have any!)

Confucius said "A journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step"... good luck on your journey Lynn, Mike & Rusty! We are with you every step of the way.
