Bridal Shower

This past weekend I spent the weekend up in MD with my family for a very special event - Katie's bridal shower! It was a very nice weekend and the shower was nice - even though it was hot! Here are a few pictures from the afternoon. I didn't take a ton because I was running around trying to get everything set up, writing down what Katie got and trying to take pictures. I needed about 10 hands. :) Her theme for the wedding is green, yellow and daisies - so we went with it for the shower!

Is it May yet?

Oh, the beach and vacation seem so far away! The past 2 months have been creeping like molasses...time needs to hurry up a bit! (I say that now but then when vacation comes I'll want time to slow down again....oh well.)

Time with good friends

Saturday night Mike and I drove up to Durham to meet our friends Liz and Mike at their new apartment. My friend Amy had also driven down from MD to spend the weekend in NC with Liz. So we all piled into the car and headed into Chapel Hill for a yummy dinner at Lime & Basil (or fruit &; herb - according to Liz!). We found parking, ate dinner and walked around - all before the UNC basketball game ended! Franklin St. was a zoo after the game - glad we weren't there! We also stopped at a hole in the wall (but very cute) coffee shop on our way back to their apartment. It was so nice to catch up with college friends and enjoy an evening out. We have to do it again soon, girls!

Not to leave the boys out....

5K Completed!

Mike and I ran in the Cary Road Race this morning and completed the 5K race. They also had a 10K earlier that morning which Mike is now talking about doing next year! We'll see about that one. But we did have some friends that competed in the 10K and they have all my respect! 3.1 miles is plenty for me right now! But we surprised ourselves a little bit in how well we did the run. No, we were not first - not even close but we ran the whole thing (never stopped!) and we ran it in 30 mins. and 45 secs. That is about average - a 10 min. mile! So we'll see but we are inspired now to run some more races.
