long time

So I know it's been a while since I've been on here.  I haven't even been reading my regular blogs :/  So how have you all been?  These last few weeks have been kind of crazy.  Matt's grandma passed away right before Easter, and the next day he found out that he passed his board exams (HUGE relief).  I was working extra hours at work, and most of my shifts were starting at 3:30, or 4 am so by the time I got home, I was exhausted.  Not to mention that I basically worked 18 days straight. Last week we had to drive down the PDX (about 2.5 hrs) to meed out caterer for the wedding, and drive back in one afternoon, the same afternoon that Matt's car decided to not work properly.  THEN... (pause for dramatic effect)  WE BOTH HAD A WHOLE WEEKEND OFF!!!!!!!!!!  It was AMAZING!!!!!  AND the weather was beautiful!  We got to go to Seattle and spoil my beautiful niece, and then Matt spoiled me by taking me on a picnic and getting a pedicure :)  Such a well deserved weekend.  Then we ran.


I've kind of stepped back on my running, which means I stepped off of my writing, like a negative draws down a negative.  But, I'm back!  I think I needed to take a break and relax when I had the chance, otherwise I was going to run myself into the ground, and then keep going.  

See, blue skies!

Matt and I have also decided that no-matter-what, we are going to do something active each night/morning.  Whether it is biking, walking, RUNNING, or even going to the gym, which we ARE going to join.  Matt's started doing the P90X, which I refuse to do, but I do know that I need to work on my core, and do more (read: any) cross training.  Any ideas?


Whelp, I'm going to sign-off, I just wanted to re-cap.

my prettied-up summer toes :)
