These last few days have been really busy! Thursday night I held my first coffee as the battalion senior advisor at our home. It was a huge success and I am so happy everyone had a good time.
While we were enjoying a good time Kyle was upstairs putting our new bed frame together. I love it! Yay for not sleeping on the floor anymore.
Friday was spent running around finishing errands and working on 2 papers for school.
Saturday, we headed up to Las Cruces in the morning to pick up our race packets for the half. While we were there we took advantage of the farmers market and enjoyed our favorite burritos and kettle corn.
After we got home I headed off to Payless to find shoes for the ball, I lucked out and found these. Not bad for $15!! I love them.
Sunday was the big day! We headed off for the Biggest Loser Half Marathon. It was a gorgeous day (in the 70's) and the course was a lot of hills but worth it. I started to have some ankle pain after the turnaround but I toughed it out and we still finished well under 3 hours. It may not have been my best race but I still felt enormous pride as we crossed the finish line and completed my 4th half and Kyle's 3rd.
We spent the rest of the day relaxing and working on school work. Now we are in for a crazy week of work, FRG, and school. Capped off by the BN Ball on Friday. Can't wait!
Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!
Your bed looks great! We're still looking for the perfect frame that we love, so for now we're stuck on the floor. I love those heels! Gorgeous! $15 is a steal!
ReplyDeleteHave fun at the ball! My husband and I opted out of his ball this spring -- it was too expensive to travel to the location, pay for tickets, pay for parking, buy a dress... so I'll have to live through you!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Yeah we unfortunately didn't have a choice of not attending haha. It does get expensive though.
DeleteYou go girl on your 4th Half Marathon!! PS, LOVE those shoes!! :) Youre going to rock those with your dress for the ball. :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like your weekend was a busy one. Congrats on finishing your 4th half! Our local track club brought in Bart Yasso to speak yesterday and he really inspired me to get out and push myself. However, it's minus 40 below with the windchill here and about a foot of snow on the ground making it a little difficult to get in the right mindset to run outside.
ReplyDeleteLove your shoes! They will look great with your gown. Hope your week goes well.
Thanks Chris! Oh wow that is some cold weather, yikes!
DeleteWe always get kettle corn too, when we go to a farmer's market, so funny. Love the new bed, and shoes!
ReplyDeleteI hope your ankle is starting to feel better! I love those shoes and you can't beat the price either. :D Have a great week. xo
ReplyDeleteLove the new bed!!! Congrats on your race!!! I am still deciding about scheduling the next half. I have only done one... and it might have been enough to last me 10 years or so! HAH!
ReplyDelete:) Thanks! You should do it!!!
DeleteThose shoes are gorgeous! I am a lover of sparkles and shoes, so I think you nailed it. Congrats on your race finish!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on another race! I love the shoes and the bed frame: gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteLove the shoes and congrats on the half!
ReplyDeleteYay!!! Sounds like it was a great weekend!!! :-)
ReplyDeleteYay for having the bed all put together! It looks great!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad that your coffee went well! I seriously can not wait to get involved with FRG and the unit again. I've been stalking with no luck, and my last option is to go to the FRSA and find out what's up with the FRGs around here.. LOL
Love the shoes!
ReplyDeleteI hope you've been able to get some rest for your ankle.
ReplyDeleteOtherwise, hurrah for successful coffees, bed frames, husbands who put bed frames together, new shoes, and a successful race!! Lots of good news here today, high five to you. :)
Love the bed. Love the shoes. Love the half. Good weekend indeed.
ReplyDeleteHoly cow, you are amazing!!! Another half!!! I loooove your bed frame, too!
ReplyDeleteOoo those shoes are hot!! We're still sleeping on the floor. haha One day!
ReplyDeleteLovin the bed!!! And you guys are some marathon running super heroes, I don't know how you do it! It is pretty awesome.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on another race completed!
ReplyDeleteI am glad you have your new bed, and I love the shoes! Congratulations on finishing the race! I am always terrified of hurting myself during a run and not finishing.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful bed and glad you had a good run. Sorry to hear your ankle was hurting. hope it gets better. Oh, brrrr, Phil just came in from his walk and put his cold cheek on mine! Laugh! Your shoes are pretty. I have such a hard time finding shoes that fit my feet any more. Friday I'm going to go shopping for shoes cuz mine need replaced. I realized my left shoe was crooked....no wonder my foot hurts! Have a good week!
ReplyDeleteGreat job on the run! And those shoes are so cute!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great weekend!
