Cheryl and Josh dot Net

As usual it has been awhile since our last post.  Not a whole lot to report; Cheryl and I are both keeping really busy with work.  I had a great Fathers Day, we went over to Ryan’s pool and hung out with friends.  Lily loved being in the water she is going to be a little fish.  We were happy that our good friends (and Lily’s God Parents) Chris and Continue reading »

So, I did it. I ran in a relay team in the Illinois Marathon on Saturday May 1st.  It was a lot of fun but I’m never doing it again.

My friend Sarah picked me up at 6:15am and we headed over to Theresa’s house. Both teams gathered there, put on our numbers and headed for the start. Sarah and Greg strapped on the time chips on their ankles and a little after 7:30am they were off. They had a 6.7 mile leg of the race. The rest of us loaded into the cars and headed for the first exchange zone which was near the Meijer Continue reading »

Welcome to the new cherylandjosh.net.  If you have been following us over the years you have seen this website go though quite a few re-builds, I am happy to tell you that I think I am about done with major rebuilds.  I will be adding a few things here and there, but I am very happy with Wordpress and will likely use this from now on.

Because we have finally got to a point where we are happy with the website I hope that we spend more effort keeping you up to date on what is going on.  Please give us feedback on our posts; below each post you will see a “comment” link, click that and keep in touch with us.  We will get back to you with a real update, but for now just enjoy the new layout.

So even though I swore I wouldn’t run any farther than a 5k, I have gotten myself sucked into a longer run! I’ll be running in the IL Marathon as part of a relay team on May 1st here in Champaign-Urbana. There are 4 people on a team and therefore each person runs between 6 and 7 miles. I don’t know what leg of the race I have ended up with but I’m really hoping for the one closer to 6 than the 7 miler. I have been trying to “train” for this but am SO not motivated by the treadmill and it has been too cold for me to be running outside. I have done it a couple days on our 30 degree evenings but that’s about it. It is warming up so I hope that helps! I’ll do my best but this IS the LAST time I will run longer than a 5K – do you hear that Franni???

Wish me luck!

Wow! Talk about a long time since an update!

Well Lily is doing just great! She took her first airplane trip in January for Matt and Jenna’s wedding and she had a blast! She was SO good on the plane, it was amazing. She colored and played with toys and read books and even took a nap! She’s perfect! While we were in Arizona we had a great time! We visited with a lot of family and relaxed. Lily had a blast at Oma’s house. The night before we came back she started her signature cough and breathing fast. We had a couple of vials of medicine but definitely not as many as we should have had… now we know! Since she was working so hard to breathe, it pretty much wore her out and she slept almost the whole flight home and car ride. The next day we took her into the Dr and it was pretty yucky. I was almost positive we were going to make another trip to the hospital. Luckily the Dr gave her some medicine and put Continue reading »
