Great Weekend

August 21st, 2006

I see that my dear hubby posted a fun blog earlier today, but I’ll do our updating from this weekend. We headed home for Danver’s Days (a little celebration in the town where my sister-in-law lives.) We stayed with her and her family for the weekend…which was a much needed getaway from Greenville. We got to spend time with 2 of our nieces and with most of Jared’s family. (Once again showing us how much we miss being close to home.) There was a carnival, arts and crafts booths, fair food, a parade….and my first EVER 5K run! That’s right…this weekend I ran my first ever 5K run…thanks to motivation of my husband. It hurt a bit…not going to lie…but it was worth it to do something that Jared enjoys so much. We certainly didn’t win…but didn’t end up coming in last….and we finished….so I was pleased. As a reward and motivation….we bought new running shoes from a running store (not just some random shoes on sale at Value City). Anyway….we headed back home late last night….and now we’re back in Greenville….eagerly awaiting the arrival of 1,000+ students in the next coming week. I love my life!

just to clear some stuff up…

For the record, our two cat’s names are Maxwell and Eleanor. We would prefer that everyone calls them just that instead of say “Max” or “Elly.” Maxwell and Eleanor are just “prettier” sounding.

You wouldn’t call Abigail “Abby” and you wouldn’t call Johnny “John” would you?
