San Antonio and Thanksgiving!!!

A little late!!!!

So this is like really late and Shanna has been keeping up the blog and i have totally been slacking but that is my new blog resolution is to update it as much as i can!! So you'll start seeing more pictures and starting off is of our trip down to San Antonio!! Before we left i was blessed to hang out with my nephew and family and let me tell you he loves to get his picture taken!! He's quite the charmer :) As you could see he is getting big!!


Bojangles !!

So back in November Shanna had a race down in San Antonio so we got to make a trip out of not only was it Shanna and I but her mom, aunt and uncle and family friend made it down!! So we got quite the cheering crowd!! It was nice seeing Momma Moeder there and let me tell you they were quite the group!!! We got to do some sight seeing and even saw the Alamo!! Wow a place so historic that is definitely cool!! We took some tours in the little canals and overall just got to see everywhere.

Race day!!

So race day was finally here and it starts early!! Like 5am early!! So not only did Shanna run the race but the airlines were horrible!! They lost Shanna's luggage so luckily she brought some her running gear as handcarry!! I guess she is a Stoecklein :) But race day came and Shanna's relatives were troopers not only was it hot out but i was driving them from check point to checkpoint and rushing them around to walk half a mile to see Shanna run!! It was fun hanging out with them and even gooder to see Shanna run!! It was a great trip down there and Shanna did great!!


Run Shanna Run
So Shanna wasn't the only racer from Nome the Olsons were down there and some did the half and some did the full ti was a Great day for Nome Athletics

So after the race i had to go back to red dog, which is now my former employer as we are down here in Kodiak. But I got to go to Nome for Thanksgiving and spend time with Shanna but also with a community that i have grown to now which i miss knowing some much people around.
