HOW COULD I FORGET? Oh yes, I ran a half marathon in Pocatello on August 30th. It was my first ever. I ran it in 2 hours 22 min. It was a blast! I am thinking about doing a marathon, but I might do more half-marathons first. It really kept me in shape and I felt really good about my time. I finished 6th in my division. I ran the half with my Mom and I couldn't have done it without her! She really kept me going. Dad and Keith ran the full marathon and Keith even got first place in his division. Running is fun! I am really getting into it!

What's New with the Hodge Family
Ben and I thought we would finally put some pictures on our blog. We have been married almost six months now, so we are surprised when people call us newlyweds.
We both have new callings. I am the ward organist/chorister (yikes!). In case you are wondering...No, I have never had an organ lesson in my life. The closest thing to an organ lesson I had was a quick glance through a church organ manual written in Spanish just before a Panamanian sacrament meeting. So, I am trying to learn how to control all four appendages and still read the music and look at the chorister. Ben is the assistant clerk in the ward. Luckily, he has had some experience with that calling already, so he doesn't seem too nervous about it.
We just got a laptop due to the new BYU-Idaho laptop initiative (they strongly suggest that every student have his/her own laptop) and are finding it very fun to try out our new "toy". Ben is taking a full load (15 credits this semester) and I am working full time at the Standard Journal. We are getting very excited about having a little nephew (Ben's and my first). We hope everyone is doing great!
