thoughtless thursday 5-26-11

I love going to watch my husband play on our church's men's softball team. He gets so into the game; he's sad their season is quickly coming to an end. And so am I, I like to sit amongst the other proud wives cheering on our men!

I saw Wicked recently and it was pure AWESOMENESS! Sure it was a little distracting when an older gentlemen sitting nearby kept tooting but it was still a wonderful show.

Aloha!

We're back from a lovely weeklong stay in Maui for our very delayed honeymoon! It took us nearly two years to get there but it was well worth the wait. I couldn't have dreamt how perfect this trip would be, but we seriously had the best time!  We spent our days lounging on the beach and doing tourist-y things like visiting the aquarium, attending a luau, and probably my favorite was a sunset dinner sail cruise.  A few photos from our stay...

Happy List 5-2-11

My happy list this week is all about BLOOMSDAY! This year we were expecting sunshine and warm weather, and yesterday did not disappoint. What a great blessing after having bizarre weather leading up to the event.  I was nervous all weekend with my "what-ifs" worrying about my injury but my husband did a great job smoothing over my fears. My childhood friend, Sarah, came from out of town and joined in on the fun.

 There were SO many people!

I didn't get as many pictures this year because I was so focused on trying to finish the race and not giving up to walking the entire route. I didn't do much training for the race, hoping I could minimize any inflammation in my post tib tendon. And I definitely felt the lack of training as it was so hard to keep a jogging pace.  But I definitely pushed myself like I've never pushed my body before and although I didn't do as great in my time as last year, it was so rewarding seeing that finish line and knowing I didn't give up! And Hallelujah - no falls this year!!

370 days until Bloomsday 2012!
