Races and Showers

I'm alive!! Tom and I have been so focused on baby, nursery and other stuff recently, that I rarely (honestly) sit down at night anymore. And the recent weekends have been awesome but not exactly relaxing. Then there's the issue of having two computers, but one is unreliable 5+ year old laptop that neither of us wants to use so we take turns on the good computer, but if it's my turn then I have pictures to edit and photography things to work on..............I suppose I should get used to being so busy, huh? *smile.

Two weekends ago, I left Tom at home to meet up with Liz, Max, Anna, her mom and some other family members in Mankato, MN on Friday night. Her (amazing) mom, Renea, was running a half marathon the following morning along with her cousin, Wendy, and aunt, Rhonda. We had so much fun!! I just love that girl and her two adorable kids (and her entire family.) Our time together is always short, but well worth it and I'll take what I can get. Renea came in 3rd in her age group! So inspiring. Now I have the half marathon itch...........................may be good post baby motivation?!
Wish you could have seen her adorable ballerina pj's. I told Liz to keep them for me if we have a girl.
Go Renea!!
Go Rhonda!
The running crew - amazing job!!

And after a quick lunch at Noodles & Co, we were both on our way to our next destinations *tear.
From Mankato, I headed to my hometown for a baby shower of one of my high school girlfriends, Megan. First stop - my aunt's house so Laney could meet Hannah. You haven't forgotten about Hannah, have you?! Well, Laney and Hannah got along great. Laney thought she was pretty big stuff leading her around...
Pure joy in that little girl. It was so sweet.
High school friends: Libby, Amanda, Megan, Whitney, Tara and myself. Love those girls.
Lib is due at the beginning of May, me at the end of March and Megan in December - I always wanted belly pictures with my friends *smile. I love it!
So that was one weekend....ISU Homecoming and nursery updates coming soon!
