July, dad’s birthday, half marathon time (!), portrait pictures – Week 14 (July 2010)

Here we are in July and sure was a busy start to the month. Got a chance to carry on with my volunteer work with the homeless, God truly does allow you to let His light shine; we have to be willing vessels though and be prepared to step out of our comfort zone.

Got to enjoy time with Jenny from NC which was nice, I do like showing people round England and of course the typical country pub setting and food :) Dad’s birthday was on July 5th, the weather was nice to us so we all went out for the evening plus were still in amazement that the portrait pictures that we taken of us all turned out the way they did! Anyone who is looking for that something extra and memorable to go to Venture (http://www.venturephotography.com/uk/), they looked after us so well and dad can finally look at a picture and feel as if he isn’t in a wheelchair.

Big event this weekend was the Wycombe Wander Midnight Half Marathon. Yes Simone and I managed it in just over 3 hours, there were a total of 700 people who took part and raised over 55K. Kids in Sport raised 10K, wonderful to be part of an event like that, you could say after 48 hours of being up and doing a half marathon at night I sure slept well the following day!
