Well the many weeks of sun has left us and it is a rainy day today. I remember hearing it start to rain right before I feel asleep last night around 11, and when I woke up it was still pouring rain…and it has been misting all day.
Last night my family made tacos for me! It was so delicious! We had some “minced” meat aka ground beef, taco shells, beans, hot sauce (which confused Marilyn when I called it that because the jar says cool salsa…ironic), and of course chips (which weren’t normal tortilla chips, but sweet chili flavored tortilla chips) to go with that cool salsa, cheese, and last but not lease Jalapenos. I had to hold in my laughter when Warren brought home the jalapenos for the first time because he did, and still does, pronounce it with a J sound, and not an H sound. Now I don’t really enjoy partaking in jalapenos because they are hot, and I don’t particularly enjoy hot things, but when Warren brought them home I knew I was going to have to eat them because he bought them specifically for me. So last night at dinner I enjoyed some spicy jalapenos, which made my eyes water the first time I ate them, but my 2nd and 3rd helping of them weren’t bad at all. I think I actually might choose to put them on my food sometimes now. Who knows? If this trip does nothing else for my life, it has made me healthier and try and enjoy new foods that I wouldn’t have tried before.
This morning I went into town because it turned out that I didn’t have anything to do. I decided I was going to get Amy’s birthday present. I did buy her present, but I also did a bit of Christmas shopping. That’s right folks, I am half way done with my Christmas shopping and it’s the beginning of October. Well I mean I’m not sure how I am getting anything I own back home because I have purchased a few things here that I didn’t have room for in the beginning, but that is something I will worry about in December.

In motivation for the half marathon that is quickly approaching Marilyn and I watched "Run Fat Boy Run" tonight...slightly rude at parts, but very funny. That is where this title for the blog came, in case you were wondering.
Some days I sit down and think at the end of the day and I wonder if I have really made a difference during the day, if I have really made a difference at all. Today I don't really feel like I have and I wonder why God brought me here, don't get me wrong I love being here, I just don't know what I'm doing. On days like these I wish God would just drop something in my lap or send someone on my path that says, "Here is your purpose and here is what God is expecting to see at the end of the day from you." I know it sounds kind of stupid, but I learn by seeing, more than reading a book or something. It is times like these that I wish I wasn't such a visual learner.
