Practice for Rebecca's wedding!

5K

Before

After

some of the runners in the front of the pack

my favorite runners

It was a great turnout. Much better than we expected. We had a couple dozen people register on site as well. We had a few glitches, but that's to be expected for our first large event. Josh and I were on the trail the whole time trying to make sure no one got left behind or lost in the dark. We had about 185 runners and about 75 volunteers!

Our 5k is this Saturday. I'm really excited. I think we will have a great turnout. It has been and will be alot of work, but hopefully worth it for the awareness aspect.

I just got our Paris photo book in the mail. It's amazing! I ordered form Shutterfly this time and got the thick, lay flat pages. I am really impressed. I've made a lot of photobooks, but this one tops them all.

I made Hannah a headboard. Trying to decide if it needs embellishments.

I am having a very hard time typing right now because 5 minutes ago I fell hard on our driveway while bringing down the trash cans. One of them fell on me and I skinned my knee through my jeans and hurt my shoulder. Stupid skinned knee burns!!

 I have to go find something to put on it...

Unplug

This post will not have a single picture, can you believe it??
I know this rant is illogical, because you can't put the toothpaste back in the tube. But I have grown tired of the constant connectivity. Don't get me wrong, I can't imagine not having answers at the tip of my fingers via Google, but there has to be a limit. For example,
I hate feeling like if I don't check all the sites every morning I'm going to miss out on something.
I hate that my husband is always glued to some device; phone, tablet, laptop, etc..
I hate that people treat you different in person, than "online".
I secretly wish the "web" would just die one day and we had to live like we used to. Back when we would just figure stuff out on our own, and communicate in person. We were so much more social then. I think technology has done a great disservice to this generation who has never known anything else.
I know I'm in the minority, but a girl can dream.

Wow

Yeah, so I just ordered these. How is this even possible? Where has the time gone?

Hannah's senior pictures

Taken by a friend of hers. These are my favorites, absolutely stunning..

Bridal Expo

Quite overwhelming, but made some good contacts.

Happy New Year!

Busy start to the new year so far. Josh painted his car,

We redid Hannah's bedroom a bit and got her a new bed,

The 3 kids were in a wedding, (Michael's dad got remarried)

and we picked out bridesmaid dresses! (No, these are not the color, but the right style)

Like I said, busy first week! Hannah started school today, Jordan starts Monday. 

I am busy helping with final preparations for our KTF 5k going on at the end of January. If you haven't registered yet, please do! Special rates end in a couple of days. I have also been planning Hannah's senior trip to Italy next summer. It is gonna be awesome, and Jordan has decided to come with us even though it's a month before her wedding. (She wasn't sure before)

This weekend is the big bridal expo we are attending, and we're hoping to finalize more of our vendors for the wedding at this event. Making good progress,  I think..
