Running Frustrations

I took a little break from my running while I had a sinus infection a couple weeks ago. Couldn't even think about running with my head throbbing. Now that I am feeling better I need to jump right back on that horse again and start training. My next LONG run was supposed to be the 10 miler. I guess a week of no running really confused my body. 4 miles about killed me. This week I have good health and but no motivation. I missed running on Monday because of a schedule change (it was raining anyway) Tuesday I was lazy and slept in until it was time to get ready and be at work at 9. Today I just can't seem to get out the door. It is a beautiful day and could be a great run, I just have NO motivation. I even thought about scaling back to the half marathon in the Fall. HELP!!!

15th Anniversary in Charlotte

I keep forgetting to post some pictures from our beautiful weekend in Charlotte. So here they are.










































































(this is my dream house we found in the cutest neighborhood in Charlotte)

15 Years of Wedded Bliss

Fifteen years ago I married my Prince, my soulmate, my Eternal Companion.
Matt, thank you for being my best friend for 15 years. I love you and the beautiful family we have made together. I hope someday our girls will find someone that they love as much as I love you.

Camping

The best part of camping is playing with the fire.

The worst part of camping is the restless night of sleep. Our tent was an orchestra of snoring.

Camping food is pretty good too. Matt is an expert at making the perfect batch of early morning hot chocolate and scrambled eggs.

Kaylee and I took the dog on a mini-hike through the forest. We saw an eagle's nest out over the water.
Matt took the opportunity to practice his kayak rolling skills on the lake.

Everyone tried fishing at the campsite (which was conviently located right on a nice little alcove of the lake.) But, only Gabby actually caught anything. I am pretty sure she had some assistance from her dad.


















The little girls were crazy enough to swim in the freezing lake.

A trip to the zoo.

Another break from school, another trip to the zoo. The girls love a day at the zoo. Even Kaylee still loves to see the animals and she has informed us she is too old for just about everything. We made the Tracy family tag along and we all had a great time. It was a long day but the weather was great and we made it home alive so, I'd call that a success.

Oh yeah, we saw some animals too.

Easter Family Pictures

Look at our beautiful girls!
If we could only photo shop Matt into this picture OR. . . . .
