Hello Summer!

Last week was fabulous! It started on Saturday when I fell in love... with a car :) Which I am still completely in love with by the way! ginger is a fan too!

Then Tuesday at WW I reached my 10% goal and got a fancy key ring!

And last, but certainly not least, Thursday was the LAST DAY OF SCHOOL and it was a half day! We watched tv, did center time ate lunch, had our end of the year party and signed beach balls. The kids were insane but knowing I would have 3 months away from them made it pretty tolerable :)


Now I have 3 weeks with nothing to do but sleep in and go on lunch dates with my bff and her too cute babeeee! Life is good!

3k...

Josie and I walked/ran the Race for Open Space.. We didn't get to run as much as we would have liked because it was mostly on a trail and through grass. We finished 78th and 79th out of 94 people in 22 minutes... they snapped this unfortunate picture at the finish line..

In love with a car?

Is is possible? Can you love a car... I think I do.
When Dad mentioned that he would be interested in helping me out with getting a new car that would be better on gas I immediately starting looking! The Xterra has be wonderful and when I found a Nissan that was smaller and that I liked I starting looking for those. It is a Murano and I found a few that were way out of the price range but when I saw one online at Shelor that was in the price range we went to test drive it.
It was terrible and obvious why it was within my price range. We went up on Saturday after the "Fishburn Festival" we hadn't planned on staying long since Dad had a poker game at 6. We drove 2 Muranos neither which were good and on our way back to the lot I spotted another one sitting in the lot. Gorgeous! We asked Austin, the guy who rode around with us if he knew details- he was super nice and jotted down a few details and when we got back to the shop he looked it up. It was a little out of the price range but Dad insisted we drive it anyway. Bad idea... I was in love right away. It has EVERYTHINGGGGG. Leather seats, automatic locks, windows, seats, you name it. Sunroof and keyless start... crazy! We drove one other car a Hundayi... no way compared! Dad starting talking numbers and the next thing I knew they were running my credit and appraising my Xterra! The Murano was mine!!!!!
Who knew that buying a car took so long though. We left Shelor around 7,then he took me to dinner and got home just in time to see the end of his own poker game. He had missed his whole game!
I loved my Xterra and was sad to trade it in but after driving the Murano for a day... maybe an hour... I was completely ok with it. As we were leaving I asked Austin what would happen to my bucking moose sticker. I wanted to make sure they wouldn't destroy it and he said they would leave it on there... I am sure it will be a selling point for the car!

3.1 miles stonger!

Elizabeth convinced me to sign up for the AEP 5k on Memorial Day weekend. I actually thought that I would be ready to run it when it came around. HA. Elizabeth was very patient and didn't leave me even though I'm sure her half marathon runnin self could have easily! We ended up running more than I thought I would be able to! We weren't the last to finish, close but not last! It took a little over 43 minutes... I'm scared to say it but I might be hooked and next year I fully expect us to finish in 30 minutes or less! And best part of the race? The adorable fan that came to cheer us on!
