sleeeeeeeeeeep.

I slept til TEN O'CLOCK this morning! 11 hours of sleep total! WOW! I feel a lot better after that because I didn't get much sleep this weekend since I had to wake up early and run 8 MILES Saturday morning. I DID IT! whoop whoop! Afterwards, I always feel so accomplished, and I can't even begin to imagine how awesome it's going to feel crossing the finish line at my HALF-MARATHON! (which is only 6 weeks away!)

new adventure

so, my baby brother left for college yesterday. I'm really gonna miss him, but I know he is gonna do GREAT! I'm so proud of him! I LOVE HIM SO MUCH!

random fun!

so, today my brother came over for lunch, and we went bowling. it was totally spur of the moment and we had a blast! I think it finally hit him that he is really gonna be moving to Roane in a few days. I know he won't admit it, but he's gonna miss us! I hope I don't cry on Sunday!

three weeks of training...CHECK!

today's long run was 6 miles! I ran in my parent's neighborhood and omg. I have one word to describe it...TORTURE. haha. the hills were killer! I had to walk up a little on the big one, but I ran the rest of the way! I can't believe that I ran almost HALF of what I will be doing on race day. After I finished, I felt a huge wave of accomplishment. I also had a little taste of what it's going to feel like to cross that finish line and let me tell you, it felt GREAT!




so..I found these AMAZING ice cream bars in Walmart the week before I started training, and I decided it was the PERFECT treat for me. There are 10 in the box, so I decided that I would get to eat one every Saturday after I completed my long run...such a great decision because they are AWESOME!

when life hands you lemons...MAKE LEMONADE!

when life hands you lemons, make lemonade! especially when you go in to get an oil change and end up having to buy two new tires. Thank goodness I didn't find out later when I had an accident because my tires had barely any tread! THANK YOU JESUS!


Today Myrt and I had girl time and saw Ramona & Beezus, just the two of us! It was fun. I love that little girl!

check out the HUGE truck that was in the movie theater parking lot.

she looks SO LITTLE beside it! haha

just like when I was little...

We made a super fun "PIRATE SHIP" fort today.

:-)

the more I enjoy babysitting, the more I want to get my certification to teach PRE-K.
I just love the LITTLE munchkins!

Road Trip with my bro!

so Kacy and I made a bro-sis road trip to see his new apartment. We had a good time. It was nice to spend some quality time with him before he leaves in two weeks! I'm gonna miss him, but I am proud of him for getting his scholarship at Roane. I hope he loves college as much as I do!

(no trip is complete without a MONSTER energy drink! YUM!)
