Turkey Day

Brian and I had a fabulous first Thanksgiving together as a married couple. We decided to wake up and drive to Temple on Thursday morning because Brian had to work on Wednesday and to avoid the crazy traffic! We got to Temple around 8:30am...just in time to participate in our own little Turkey Trot. Oh and dont be fooled by the pictures, Grant was not in first place the whole time...he ran ahead when he saw the camera. :) 

Dad, Brian, Me, Lance, and Grant



The rest of the afternoon was followed with food and football. I dont think I have ever sat and watched that many hours of football in my life! It was fun being with family though. Here are some of the pictures of the rest of the day.


The O'Neal's, Bailey's, and Pattillo's



I am most thankful for him :).



Over Thanksgiving, Brian was referred to as "ladder" by my mom because he is the go to guy if anything high up needs to be reached. He was standing on a step ladder helping put up the tree so I held on tight just in case he fell. After a few days in Temple, we headed back to Dallas to hang out with Brian's family. We had fun eating, playing with Jackson, and playing cards. 



 Happy Thanksgiving!

Call me crazy...

Starting around early September Brian and I started running together. Around 3 weeks after we started running I got mono and the running stopped. I have been mono free for the past month and can no longer use the "mono" excuse to get out of running. We finally got back into the routine of running and actually ran 2.65 miles on Sunday. Crazy, I know! For those of you that are thinking that is nothing, you must not know me very well. My most fond memory of my running career was in middle school when my athletic coaches thought I should be on the cross country. I was so bad and hated it so much that my coach would run next to me (as I was crying) and offer to buy me dinner if I would just pass one person. How sad is that?! 
All that to say, I have decided to run the Cowtown 10K on February 27, 2010 with Brian. If anyone is interested in joining us please let me know.
