night owl

this is pretty much how i find my son every night as i head to bed…sitting quietly at his desk playing with an assortment of toys- actively engaging his imagination!  i love how he can get lost in his own world sometimes.

looking in

i had dinner with the ladies down in pacific grove.  i don’t get out often by myself at night, so i decided to take advantage of being alone- and yes, spy on people!

our someday…14 years later

not the most technically correct picture, but it is still very meaningful for me!  my husband and i celebrated 14 years of marriage!  i’m not going to say it’s always been easy, but i will say it has been worth it! i am looking forward to what the future has in store for us! here’s to celebrating our someday today!

trapped

i almost went to bed without taking a picture…needless to say, i was very excited (and grateful) for the full moon and one of my little trees…love the feel of this one!

asleep

no, this is not my son crashed out one night…this is how he looks when we wake him up in the morning before school, and we lug him down to the couch…still asleep! thank goodness for bacon- it seems to wake him right up!

just run!

my daughter participated in her first 3k.  she ran with her dad- for which i am extremely grateful!  we were estimating a around 22-25 minutes…she smoked it!  she ran a 15:19!  i think we have a runner on our hands! proud of my fast girl!

marathon complete!

i set out to run the big sur marathon again this year.  last year, i was in awe of the course and somewhere in the middle of it decided i should run it again this year…so i signed up!  unfortunately, my training was not quite up to par with the previous year’s training, and allergy season was horrible!  around mile 13 (after i told my running partner to head on without me), i had a “come-to-Jesus” moment…for the next two miles!  a lot more walking than running during those parts!  however, i made the decision to keep going.  i won’t lie, it was painful, but i reminded myself of all of the things i should be grateful for in my life, as well as repeating the cliched “pain is only temporary” phrase.  i managed to finish (with the promise of beer, sausage, and velveeta cheese post-race)- and even sprint in with a smile on my face and friends and family waiting for me across the finish line! it doesn’t get better than that!
