5K? Well maybe!

Saturday we ran a 5K...well kind of!

M, J, the Mr. and I all signed up to run a local 5K...we headed over early to ride together. Got to the race and got all settled! We were ready and excited! It was J's first 5K and the Mr.'s 2nd one. The race started off great! BIG HILLS but a good race! Well I get to one part of the race and there are no signs and about 15 people yelling where to go and what to do. Well, I have my jams going loud on my iPod. I go one way and they say, no that's wrong...go this way....no go this way. I was all sorts of confused. I just ran. Well I went the wrong way...
I ended up only running about 2.3 miles of the 3.1. So, I went through the finish line in about 23.31. Great time for a 5K...not part of one! haha!

M did great! Came in 2nd in her age division. The Mr. did better on his second 5K and J did great too! We all just laughed about what happened to me. And come to find out, it happened to ALOT of runners! Next year I hope they have better signs!

Handwriting!

So Leslie over at Life in it's Ordinary Form started this handwriting blog post! I think it's super cool! Like she said, we never see each others handwriting because we use computers to do our blog post!

So all you have to do it get out a piece of paper and answer these questions:

1. What's your name / blogger name?
2. What's your blog's URL?
3. Write "The quick fox jumps over the lazy dog."
4. Favorite quote?
5. Your favorite song?
6. Your favorite band / singers?
7. Anything else you want to say?
8. Tag 3 - 5 other people.

Yes, I know I misspelled handwriting...I'm not perfect! :)

3rd thing...

Happy Monday!
Right..isn't that what I'm supposed to say...well I'm hoping today is great!

This weekend was fun and scary all at the same time!

Friday started the weekend our nice...I was supposed to have class until 9pm online, but she let us out early so the Mr. picked me up and we went to get yogurt! YUMMO! Then we went home and watched this:
It was pretty funny!

Saturday we slept in...I needed that so much!
Then we had a fun day for the Mr.'s birthday!
We did some shopping and yummy lunch at Chick-fil-a!
And he got one of these:


Then we had some friends over before we all went to sushi. One of our friends opened the door and Ethel ran out...she ended up getting hit by a car. Thankfully the tires did not hit her, she just got hit by the underneath of the car. She got scraped up pretty bad. So the Mr. and our friends took her to the ER vet before dinner. She checked out good, the vet just said she would be sore and to watch her. It was just SUPER scary and the Mr. saw the whole thing happen. This is the 3rd bad thing that has happened to us...hopefully we are done with bad things for a looooonnnnnggggg time!

We sill went to dinner with all of our friends after the vet visit and had a wonderful time!
All in all the Mr. had a great birthday!
Yummy food, quality time, and good friends and LOTS of phone calls!

Sunday was good!
Started out with KidVenture at UpStreet! We had "Game On 11'!"
It was a fun morning of relay races, good competition and laughter!
Cute girls in our small group!

The rest of yesterday was filled with resting, reading, blogging and laying with this sweet girl:
SOOOO thankful that she is okay! I don't know what I would do if something really bad would have happened on Saturday.

Thank you for the sweet comments last Thursday. I'm hoping things are going to turn around...I'm trying to put it all in the Lords hands...but since I'm a type A personality I struggle with this.

 It's hard when you have no time to even sit and talk with your husband...this leads to bad things. Spending time together this weekend was good for us. I made a vow to myself on Saturday not to think about work or grad school for one second. It was nice. I know I/we can get through this. Only 3 more weeks until Spring Break and then after Spring Break there is only 43 days of school left! (Now dont' get me wrong, I love my job and grad school, but being the directer of the After School Program on top of that isn't that wonderful. But I'm blessed to have that extra job right now.)

So hopefully things will only get better from here!

Happy Birthday Mr.!

 

Happy 27th Birthday to my sweet Mr!

He is old! haha! :) Just kidding!
I just like to say that because for only 2 months we are the same age, and the rest of the time he is older than me! 

So glad that I'm married to my best friend! He is a big jokester, and when things get hard he's always trying to make people smile. He is a SUPER positive person and encourages others to be that way. (I think he gets that from his sweet Nana! :)...she would always say...Keep a good ATTIDUE!) He has lots of friends...true sign of a great guy! One of his biggest strenghts is that he is always finding ways to do for others! So pretty much, I'm a very blessed girl to be married to such a great guy!

I love you Mr.! Happy Birthday!

Tired. Drained. Sick. Overwhelmed. Stressed.Emotional.

These are all the words that describe me right now. Nothing positive at the moment.

I hate being/feeling all of those.

I want to be happy.

Not trying to be a downer...but that's all I'm feeling right now...down.

What we did this weekend!

First of all....
HAPPY 50th BIRTHDAY TO MY SWEET MOTHER-IN-LOVE!

She is one good lookin' 50 year old!

I'm so blessed to have such a wonderful mother-in-law. She treats me like one of her very own. Always there for me and gives lots of good advice!
I love you MIL!
We had a fun weekend!
We headed to PTC to celebrate birthdays and Valentines, run a 5K and eat yummy food!

Friday afternoon we headed there right after school.
Of course we stopped for a snack
Not sure why I can't get the picture to turn...but these new Skittles are tasty! :) 
Lucy rides in her tent...but Ethel doesn't like to be in her tent...she would like to explore in the car and sit on Mr.'s lap!


Saturday, we all ran a 5k...and when I say we...I mean all 10 of us!! Yup, that's right! I was running this 5k and mentioned it to my MIL and she said she would love to run it too! So it ended up being a family event that was so fun!

All 10 runners!
(P.S. It was 22 degrees at the beginning of the race!)
My cute Mr.! This was his first 5k ever!
All of us after the race! 3 of our runners placed in their age divisions! WHOOP WHOOP!

After the 5k...my mom made her FAMOUS chicken salad, banana muffins and crescent rolls! SOO yummy! She had Mr. and I over for lunch with my sisters!
 It was so fun to hang out and eat yummy food!

She also gave me my Valentines presents!: 
My mom made me these AWESOME socks!!! I love them! She is so talented! 
 Then my mom took me and my sis B to get our nails done! But it's a new things...
GEL polish by OPI!
Have you head of it?!?! It's supposed to last a long time! And it's not like normal polish. I love it! I hope it last a long time!
While we were at my mom's house my MIL and family took all the dogs to the dog park! Can you spot Ethel?

Saturday night we went to dinner to celebrate, my MIL's 50th birthday, my brother-in-laws gf's birthday, and Mr's birthday! Lots of February birthdays!
Sunday was filled with church, school work, cleaning, baking and getting ready for the busy week ahead!

What a fun weekend! How was yours?

My Valentines!

I have 3 Valentines!
Well one special one but three all together!

#1: The Mr.

#2: Lucy Elizabeth


#3: Ethel Bernice

I'm such a lucky girl! Valentines Day is my FAVORITE holiday! Who doesn't like pink, red, hearts and yummy candy! (I know some people don't, but they are no fun!)

I made cupcakes for my students, homemade Valentines for my friends at school, and bought something for the Mr! (I'll tell you what it is later...he does read this sometimes, and he hasn't opened it yet!)

What is your Valentines Day like?

Happy Valentines Day! I hope it's filled with LOTS of love!
