weekend.

It's done! We did it. Grandma's was a lot of fun and I managed to get a personal record for myself of 2:02. My back didn't give me any trouble and Leslie completely rocked her first race. All in all it was a super great day. I really would like to get under 2 hours by fall so I am signing up for another half this August. Might as well, huh? The rest of the weekend was spent eating ice cream treats, welcoming little Liam into the world (congrats Mo!!), laying on the beach, and breaking in the guest room (I told you that map was awesome). Thanks for you all your well wishes and I hope you had a great weekend too!

Notes: I found that bird nest on my run last week, I just started Eating Animals in hopes it will transfer me back to once Vegetarian lifestyle, and sorry there's not a lot of running pictures but most were very unflattering....

Ps. I hope you all had a great Father's Day!

fathers day...

I meant to post about this yesterday, but I was swept away by chaos and family. Anyways, yesterday was Fathers Day and I must say I have one of the coolest dads a girl could ask for. My dad is a unique character. He's a typical sports fanatic who is also super sensitive, caring, a power shopper (no joke, this man shops more than I do), and is the most generous human being I know. Even though I lived almost 3 hours away from him he never missed a weekend to be with my brother and I. He would drive all the way up to Duluth just to watch a basketball game of mine and drive back home right after. That's 6 hours of driving just to watch me in a stinky high school gym for 2 hours. To this day we have remained close and I always look forward to our weekly conversations. We usually catch up on things like The Bachelorette (he's addicted, you should have seen him when Jason denied Deanna...), recent purchases, and life in general. I'm so thankful for having such a wonderful father. Thanks for being so awesome dad!
