Getting into the game...

Well, the Uyboco's have finally decided to join this crazy blogging phenomena. We have many friends that are already blogging and we have enjoyed keeping updated on their lives through that. Hopefully this will be a better way that we can stay in touch with our friends and family.

We just completed one full year of living here in Danville, Virginia. We have a great church that we are a part of, and Jon and I just started teaching a 4th-5th grade Sunday School class which we are really enjoying. Eliana loves her Sunday school class and is even doing Awana's on Sunday nights. She is a Puggle, for those of you familiar with Awana's. She loves wearing her cute little platypus shirt, but we think her real favorite thing about Puggle's is the snack that she gets each week.:) We are very thankful for the church that God directed us to and the friends He has give us here.

Jon is working at ABB in South Boston, which is about a 45 minute commute each day. I keep busy with Eliana and with my new hobby, running. Jon encouraged me to try running the summer he came home from Afghanistan. I didn't think that I could do it, because I had never, ever been a runner and actually hated running or maybe it was just the thought of running that I hated... anyways, he found me a running program and now I am hooked! Jon and I recently ran with the Nike Human Race 10K while on vacation in the Outer Banks. That was really cool! I now have my sites set on my first half-marathon.( Thanks Emily for the awesome inspiration!!) Hopefully we will become a running family. Eliana loves to pretend that she is running while I am on the treadmill. She has an old watch that she puts on her arm as her "i-pod" and presses it to start it. She will run for a while and then stop and tell me she has run 2 miles or 4 or whatever number pops into her head. Then she will start to do her interpretation of my stretches. It is so cute!!:)

Well, that is a brief update of our family. I have some big examples to follow in this blogging business with my faithful blogging friends, Emily, Kate, and Kimi. I hope that I can keep up with you guys!!:)
