Wordless Wednesday

Happy Birthday to my amazing sister, Lisa! She is not only my sister but my best friend. :) I couldn't have asked for a better sister.

Also, congratulations to our good friend Shane who was promoted to SSG yesterday! Kyle and I were happy we could be there with Shane and Britt to celebrate.

Happy Wednesday Everyone!

Photo Session

Last Friday I received the disc of all our photos. All I can say is WOW!!!! Jax did an amazing job and we are so thankful that we had the chance to work with her.

Have a great day!

What A Weekend!

This weekend was one that Kyle had been looking forward to for months. He was finally able to see his alma mater, Washington State University Cougars, play football (he hasn't seen them play since he graduated in 2007). We headed up to Tucson bright and early Saturday morning, the weather in Tucson was gorgeous and made for a great game day.

We sat in the visitor section with all the other Coug fans. The game came down to the last play in the last few seconds and the Cougs defeated the Arizona Wildcats 24-17. Our section went ballistic, and the team came over to our section and we all proceeded to sing the fight song. It was awesome! Before the game I was a fan by proxy, now Kyle says I am an official Coug fan haha.

After the game we headed to our hotel to check in and head off to dinner at the Cheesecake Factory. Since we don't have one in El Paso we always have to go when we find one. Kyle ended up getting the s'mores cheesecake for dessert (tell me that doesn't look amazing?!), he was in love haha. We ended up walking around the mall for a while and I found my dress for the battalion ball, eekk! It looks even better on.

We got home yesterday after and spent the rest of the day doing laundry and getting ready for the week.

I also want to take a moment and wish the cutest 7 year old in the world a very Happy Birthday! Our niece Kylie is so special to us and we can't wait to see her soon! We love you sweetpea!

I hope you all had a great weekend!

I Do It For Me!

Oh how I needed this today!

I have always made it very clear that I run for no one else but ME. I will never be the fastest and I don't want to be. Running for me is therapeutic, it's my zen place and it's where I feel the most free. 

I appreciate the support and encouragement I've gotten, it means the world to me.

Time to go lace up my shoes!

Have a great weekend everyone.

Fun Finds

I can't believe that we are 2 weeks away from Thanksgiving! This year is flying by, it seems like we just celebrated New Years.

Part of me is itching to decorate for Christmas because we won't be in our house for it this year. I am holding off though at the request of Kyle (don't worry I have decorated for Thanksgiving so I'm not skipping that holiday at all). We will decorate the day after Thanksgiving and leave everything up until we get back from block leave. I am however done Christmas shopping so I am somewhat ahead of the game haha.

Thanks to Target, we picked up a few more boxes of lights, ornaments and this awesome outside decoration, how cute is this?!

I even got some new coffee mugs, bought a set of 3 for $10. :)

I can't pass up good deals!

When do you decorate for Christmas?

Wordless Wednesday

I'm not a very creative person but I decided to take all of our race bibs and photos and make a scrapbook! I figured it was better than keeping them in a drawer somewhere. I think it looks pretty good so far.

Happy Wednesday!!

A Long Weekend

Another long weekend has come to a close...I feel like it was a perfect balance of relaxing and running around. 

Friday we had planned to head back out to Hueco Tanks to hike instead we both decided to work on stuff around the house. We cleaned out some closets, went shopping for some storage cabinets, and enjoyed a quiet night at home. Speaking of Hueco Tanks, we got a small glimpse at our photos:

We are in love with them so far!!!!! :) Can't wait to see the rest.

Saturday, we got up bright and early for the Desert Dash 10k. It was held in Las Cruces at the Chihuahuan Desert Nature Park. It was gorgeous!! It was a true trail race and my legs are hating me because of it. We had a great time though.

Sunday, we headed off to White Sands National Monument. It's only an hour away from us and well worth the drive. When you first see the dunes it seems like you are looking at snow. It is so white and beautiful. You can go sledding as well as camp, we have plans to do both on our next trip. We ended the trip with lunch at an amazing hole in the wall mexican restaurant.

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend!!!
