Whew, Busy Weekend

We started Saturday with a Easter Egg hunt in Zanesfield. Olive didn't remember doing this before and she was really excited! Esp when she found out what was inside the eggs.

Me: "Olive, the Easter Bunny left eggs in Zanesfield and we get to go hunt them! Do you know what's inside an Easter egg?!"

Olive: "Uh,...........chickens???" 

Bahahahaha. Omg. So funny! 

Later that day we got to babysit Obi while my sister and Ryan got to meet up with their newly adopted son for the first time.  He'll get to come home with tthem in June when school gets out for the summer.

Sunday morning i got up and out extra early. I was on the path by 7:30am. Sun was just sunning up, birds were chirping and it was about 65°. Perfection!

So behold, my new distance record. 8.5 miles! This run was not without a few (2 to be exact) surprises. GI distress. Let's just say I'm thankful for the numerous potta pottys Zanesfield has to offer. 

After my run I freshened up and we headed to Marysville so Brad could help Randi and Ryan get some bigger things moved out of the house. They officially move into their new house this Wed! 

Newport at the Levee

I've spent several hours this morning trying to figure out why I can't upload pictures to the blog. All of my post for the last several months have been done from my phone for this reason and that works fine if I've taken the photos with my phone. However this weekend we went to Cincinnati to visit the Newport Aquarium and I had taken a few pictures with my actual camera that I'd like to share. Not working out :( 

So, I went to my FB page and stole a couple from there.

We had a really nice time. Got there when it opened and were out the door before the giant Spring Break crowds all got there. Perfect timing.

Wish I could show you more.

Big Announcement!

I'm gonna do it!

 I'm going to stop making excuses to why I shouldn't, couldn't and can't because I CAN and I WILL. I think all I really needed was someone to believe I can and want to join me so my brother in-law Ryan and I decided to be a team. We're going to pick a training plan and encourage each other to stick with it.

I wanna feel what it's like to cross that finish line and I'm really excited

 (and a bit scared too)!

I just realized this kinda looks like I registered for the full marathon. Let's be clear, I did not. I am not that crazy..... yet. I registered for the Nationwide Columbus Half Marathon on Oct 19th.

If your interested in joining us please do and if you just want to come and cheer us on please make one of these super funny signs. I'm guessing humor might help when i feel like crying. Lol

Why My Friend Is THE BEST

I came home from work Monday to THE BEST surprise. A gift came in the mail from my  friend and this is why she's my bestest bud...

1. She knows I love coffee and I'll drink it from this mug everyday and therefore I will be reminded of how awesome she is daily.

2. She knows my fav color is green (didn't even need to ask) and she chose that for my heart color. Orange is hers. Isn't this mug the cutest!?

3. She sent me this gift for no reason. Just because she loves me ;)

I have exciting news to tell you about later this week and NO we are NOT adding to our little army!  LOL
