Week Off

My week off of work was fantastic! I can't believe I haven't written over here since before that! Oops.

I spent 2 nights in Virginia visiting one of my favorite people - Kristy. She and her wife recently had twin girls and I was able to meet them and spend some time with the new family!

The rest of the week was spent just relaxing around the house, catching up on various errands/stuff, and (hooray), being sick on Friday. that part wasn't very exciting!

On Saturday I will run on a Relay Team in the Akron Marathon. I'm only running 4.8 miles, but it's the longest I've ever run, so I'm pretty excited. I've been training and it's been going really well, and I really look forward to my runs on the days that I do them (three times a week), so I'm not sure what I'll do with myself now that it's over (and getting a bit chilly outside to keep running). I'm sure Il'l find something else to do!

I'm actually almost-caught-up on my photo editing, but of course I'm very far behind in posting over here, so I apologize that these photos are from May/June:

It's about thyme!
This picture cracks me up because our thyme plant is now 500 times larger than this


garage! done!
Organized garage! One of the BIG tasks on our 2012 House Projects list was to re-inforce the roof of the garage, hang the old kitchen cabinets in here and organize the garage in general. It's all done now and even though this was a project John was more excited about than I was, I have to admit, I really like the final product!
