First, thanks for all of your comments on yesterday’s post. They are VERY much appreciated.
There is absolutely no way to fully recap what I’ve been up to for the past, well, month because Sean and I have been on the go every. single. weekend. To say it’s been exhausting would be a massive understatement. I seriously don’t think we’ve ever been this busy. And honestly, it’s showing no sign of slowing down anytime soon. We have something going on every weekend for pretty much the rest of the year. So to try and do a mini catch up without actually rambling about every little thing (well, let’s be honest, I’ll probably ramble too), I’m gonna catch up with pictures ![]()
Louie’s been sick on and off for about a month now. He’s mastered looking pathetic in the crate when he has to visit the vet. Don’t let this sad face fool you though, the vet called me one afternoon to tell me that he managed to terrorize the entire place and poop everywhere in protest at having to give a urine sample. Awesome. Proud mama right here <—insert sarcasm font.
The boy turned 27 last month. He’s getting old. We celebrated with sushi. It was delicious
Also, I feel like we might have gotten ripped off with our fortunes. I could be wrong though.
Sometime in September I stopped drinking coffee every morning and started having tea instead. I’m not really sure why. I go through phases. My favorite is the outrageously overpriced yogi tea. Mainly because of the wise advice they offer with every tea bag.
I’ve been running. I discovered a new-to-me trail on my way home from work one day. It looks like this. I love it because it’s right between two very busy roads but you once you step onto the trail you can’t tell at all. It’s very peaceful. Also, it goes on for days. I am a fan.
Here is a picture of Louie in a tiny box. If you’re wondering where Leo is, he was getting ready to pounce.
One of my friends from high school is getting married soon so we got to shower her with gifts during a recent bridal shower. She pretty much rocks. Also, I really like my dress. I got it on clearance at GAP outlet.
We’ve been hanging out with friends a lot. I love each and every one of these girls. I also will never be styling my hair like that again or wearing that outfit. The things you learn through pictures.
One of my best friends (the one standing next to me in the last picture) got married a few weeks ago. We had rockin’ bridesmaids outfits. You can’t really tell in this picture, but you can see the BEAUTIFUL Kendra Scott earrings she bought us. Also, I had my makeup airbrushed for the first time and decided that I want someone to come airbrush my makeup every day. Ironically, I am wearing zero makeup today.
In addition to running, I’ve been trying to do some crosstraining too. I’m not very good at it. Also, I am convinced that the people on the cover of Shape aren’t real. No one really looks like that, do they?
Sean has been racing motocross. Here is a picture of him dominating. Last weekend he raced twice and took 2nd and 3rd. He’s pretty much a badass.
I bought new shoes!! My Nikes had a million miles on them and I wanted to try a different type of minimalist shoe, so I decided to try out these Brooks. They look fast, so I assume that they will make me fast. Also, they were $10 cheaper than the Nikes. #priorities
To end, here is a picture of Louie in the microwave. I don’t know why he’s in there. I went to grab food out of it and while I was stirring it up he jumped in. He hung out there for a good 15 minutes while Sean and I laughed and took pictures. We have really exciting lives, promise.
And now you’re caught up, because Louie in the microwave was last night. Exciting stuff, huh?
What have you all been up to? Anyone run in Brooks Pureconnects? Any favorite minimalist running shoes?
no microwave cat!!! love the catch up, sounds like you have been having a blast
Brooks Brooks Brooks, I love Brooks. And I love the ones you got. I’ve been running around in the PureFlows and they are heaven in a pink shoe. And quit staring at my picture while you are on the workout machines, it’s embarassing.
Why’d you choose the flows over the connects? I just cant stop staring at your amazing abs!! It’s hypnotizing.
They were pink. Honestly, I don’t know anymore. I’m up for new shoes soon so we’ll see which Brooks lovelies I pick next.
I love Brooks – but I want more support than the minimalist shoes give (however, I did buy some Nike minimalist for short miles so maybe I’m a hypocrite). Where is trail you found? It looks awesome! Also, love the earnings.
my doc told me to switch to minimalist shoes, which is the only reason i did… the trail is right off highway 6 before i10 near groeschke? i probably just butchered the spelling of that. anyway, it’s almost 3 miles long and then it crosses barker cypress and continues on for i don’t know how long. i love it!! where do you usually run?
I live real close to Memorial, so I typically run there or around the Heights but my favorite trail is Allen Parkway.
i used to run memorial after work all the time at my old job… ive never run allen parkway though, i need to check it out!!
I just read yesterday’s post before this one and it’s like you read my mind. Kitty pictures!
Hope Louie is feeling better! Luna has a real affinity for boxes too and Jack likes to get in the dryer once the clothes are taken out but hasn’t tried the microwave yet.
I’m on a tea kick too. Can’t get enough of the stuff.
I love the shoes and how bright they are! I would love to try Brooks but I think they’re too narrow. Meh. Congrats to S on some great races!
HAHA I actually skipped putting a pic of Leo in the dryer laying all over clean clothes because I wasn’t sure if I had posted it on the blog before and I was too lazy to check. See, I think the Nike Frees were too wide for my feet, they were rubbing all sorts of blisters on my toes
I’m hoping the Brooks won’t do that.
yay! love this and all the louie pics!! I’m running out of yogi tea. It’s so expensive! p.s. you look gorgeous in all those pictures. and I wish I got airbrushed all the time too …
aw, thank you! it’s amazing what a little makeup could do. i was serious about the no makeup today though. and my hair is pulled into a bun. i look about 10 years younger… and when youre 26 thats not necessarily a good think HAHA!
I love all the kitty pictures!!
You look beautiful in your airbrushed makeup. I’ve never had that done!
I have the EXACT same Brooks! I love them!!!
Hi this would be the best friend your referring to above and it showed the last time I logged on was March and the first thing I did was find your blog…. You look beautiful every time I see you but you looked glowing beautiful on my wedding day, thank you for standing by my side! I love you!!
