What I've been up to...

Okay. So, I totally did not realize that it had been so long since I've posted anything!! I kept meaning to do it and show everbody some pictures to go along with it. Well, I'm totally stressng because my camera is MIA after this weekend... if anyone has seen it, let me knw, will ya?

Well, the last weekend in March Joy, Raegan, Stephanie, and Lindsey and I drove up to Jacksonville to see Beth Moore. It was awesome. It was a great opportunity to get to know each other a little better. We learned about apprehending that for which we've been apprehended. It was great fun! We were gone Friday morning into Saturday afternoon. That night was Lindsey's bridal shower. Yet another show of solidarity as we pulled the whole thing off in about a week and a half. We called the guest list to invite them... the joys of quickie weddings.

The next weekend was Lindsey and Jeff's wedding. It was a gorgeaous weekend! It rained cats and dogs ealier in the afternoon, but by the time the ceremony started, it was absolutely perfect. They were married in one of Jeff's cousins horse barns. As you looked through the barn, you could see the horses running in the fields. The breeze picked up to keep everyone cool, and it smelled like flowers everywhere. We had a great time at the reception eating barbecue and mac and cheese and baked beans! We even danced a little!

The next weekend I went with some of the girls from work up to Gainesville to see "Chicago". It was awesome! I'm a huge fan of the story. I own the movie and compare every role that Catherine Zeta Jones is in to her role as Thelma. I also have the soundtrack of the original Broadway production. It's sad when you can sing along to the play... It was neat to see everyone all dressed up in someting other than scrubs! :-)

The next afternoon mom called me and said that she and Dale and Michael were heading to Tarpon Springs. So, I tagged along too. Greek food=YUMMO!!! We went out on the little boat and watched the sponge harvesting. Those guys are so strong! The suits way nearly 150lbs to keep them on the ocean floor.

This past weekend, however, is what I am most proud of. Mom and I ran in the MinnieMarathon weekend 5K race at Epcot. We have been training for about 3 weeks to do this. We were so afraid that the little old men in golf carts were going to come and pick us and take u s to the end. It was an unfounded fear since most didn't finish in under an hour. But we did!!! Mom, the outside runner, finished in 38 minutes, and I, the treadmill runner, finished in 41 minutes.!! I was so proud of us. We've never done anything like this before, so just the shear facet that we finished is enough of an accomplishment to us...

I think that brings everyone up to speed. Sorry for the shear length of this thing, but I've been such a slacker lately. Hopefully my poor little pink camera will resurface somewhere and I'll be able to post the pictures that go along with everything.
