Living in a Whirlwind!

The past few weeks have been such a blur! I'm beginning to think I know what Dorothy in OZ felt like when she got picked up by the tornado...

David and I are back at the old plow.....which is small town code for....we're both back to work and school. Even me! Back in school! Okay....so maybe it's just online...and my quite possibly even my "first day of school outfit" was my pj's.. But I am still excited about it.

These days have consisted of work, running...and then "school." Only to come back home and feel ready for bed at 8:30. What can I say.....I'm a real party animal. Did I mention I'm running my first half marathon in two days??  Yes.....that would be 13.1 miles of pure....hmmm...well I'm not exactly sure yet. I don't think bliss or happiness would be the words to use there. I am rather excited to prove to myself that I can do it. Even if I do cross the finish line needing a hip and knee replacement. Good thing I married a physical therapist! He has been doing triple time as student, therapist and trainer for me.

On a different note..with all the rain we have been getting lately.... I can't help but miss our California adventure to see Heather and Mckay a few weeks ago! Even though it was a short trip....we had a blast

Trust me. After these photos....you'll wish you had been there too!

You haven't had a real day at the beach until someone gets covered in sand.


I think this turned out to be a sand alligator protecting the castle!


I love this! I would run too....Seaweed..yikes! I'm convinced seaweed are simply miniature minions of the Lochness Monster in disguise. Why else would one get so entangled in it?


Oh how I loved the beach! Especially with these two! 


He's my favorite! Also...note the pier in the background...and the Ferris wheel. A  shout out to Heather for talking us into riding it! 


We absolutely loved all of our end of summer vacations....even if it seemed we were here, there and everywhere. We got to see just about every member of both our families!

Well. I think I have succeeded in prolonging my packing long enough. Cedar Half? Bring it on.


Until next time!
