Warrior Dash

3.28 Miles... 12 obstacles...  We are WARRIORS!  with a medal to prove it! :)

I go through phases where I try to be a better runner.  So, when my Sister-In-Law told me about a groupon for the Warrior Dash I could not pass it up.  We all four jumped at the opportunity and I am so glad we did.  We all had fun, even Shawn.  He HATES running.

We enjoyed a nice cold beverage afterwards in our souvenir mugs.  Well deserved! 

Indulging in the food as well.  Nice turkey leg

Shawn and I both donated our shoes after the run.

Since I went with the intentions of donating my shoes, I unfortunately did not wear my good better ones.  I paid the price... at about mile 1.5 I felt a blister brewing on my right heal.  Each obstacle the pain got worse and worse.  At some point I decided to just run through the pain.  Likely slowed me down a little but nonetheless I'm just glad I didn't hurt myself more. I would post a picture of the blister but it is just too hideous.  Now, I am not hesitating buying some body glide, new running socks, and shoes.  My poor feet deserve them.  I am doing more runs starting the end of May so hopefully I will be more prepared.  

Our little warriors.  Thanks Tia for watching us!

Thirty Five 13

(Our new house #)

We LOVE our red door!

Home Sweet Home!  This past Friday Shawn and I finally closed on our home!  The past four months struggling to get into our home has absolutely consumed us!  It is such a relief to have what we worked so hard to get!  We both look forward to the days now when we don't have the title company or the lender or the builder to deal with on a daily basis.  The best thing about our home in my opinion is the location.  We are so excited to add our personality and make our house a home.  I'm sure a lot of posts in the future will be our improvements and my pinterest inspiration.

TWO Year Anniversary!

Wow!  Can not believe how fast it has gone by.  Being married to Shawn is the very best thing!  (other than my two angels).  Shawn keeps me grounded when the world around us seems to be caving in.  I love him more deeply than I have ever believed was possible.  I could not imagine my life without him in it!  Even though we have been married for two years, since we have been together life has taken in us a direction we never imagined.  The past four plus years we have had 4 vehicles, lived in 3 homes, had 2 babies, got married, and most recently just bought our first home TOGETHER.  I'm certain not many can say the same. It's been fun but CRAZY!

This year our anniversary landed one week after the girls birthday and one week before we closed on our home.  Nonetheless it was a low key celebration.  We decided to try out Brio for dinner.  It was good!  If I were to return I would only get the bruchetta.  That's how amazing it was!

I love you Shawn and look forward to growing old with you!  Happy Two Year!

The Willy

My Father-In-Law recently bought a Willy.  Shawn is just as excited about it if not more!  They have spent a lot of quality time working on it.  This will be a huge project!

This was taken after some destruction has already started but you the idea what it looked like "before"

Fortunately Stacy and Dylan live close by.  The boys needed the extra strength to get the shell off. 

Driving with a beer and no car body... Redneck much?!

Finally done for the day.


Afterwards Kelly and Kenny came over for a nice dinner.  The girls wanted to play in their walker. 

When they're done for the day... they're not really done!

Happy Birthday Ava and Adisyn

Today was the Girls' Birthday.  We had planned to go to the zoo.  Unfortunately, the girls (Adisyn mostly) were not feeling well.  Adisyn didn't even play with any of her new toys.  Poor Adisyn.  We all three snuggled on my bed and watched Cars.  Adisyn finally fell asleep so I needed to get Ava out of the room pronto so she didn't wake her sister.

poor baby

Ava and I came up with an idea...

We made a card!


We later mentioned ice cream and the girls were not sick enough to pass that opportunity.  So we finished their Birthday with a nice treat from Froyona. 

Happy 3rd Birthday To My Beautiful Angels Ava and Adisyn.  

Mommy and Daddy love you too much!
