This last weekend was full of accomplishments. We finally painted our bedroom on Saturday. When I say "we" I really mean husband, although I was available for moral support throughout the painting process. The color we used was a warm mink and it makes our room look twice as big, which is always nice considering the sheer tininess of our apartment. Next we'll be finding some shnazzy nightstands and getting some art on those walls.
On Sunday morning my husband ran his first half-marathon. My favorite part was seeing folks holding up signs for their friends saying "no one made you do this", which is how my husband felt around mile two. At mile eight his IT band got a wee bit injured but he pushed through. This photo was taken shortly after crossing the finish line (note the advil):
That studly man inspired me to take a running clinic this summer, in hopes that I could join him on all the wild running adventures he seems to be having these days. Here's an awkward photo of us. It appears I don't like being hugged by sweaty men. Sorry dear.
As for Father's day and my father-in-law's 50th birthday party, all I can say is yummm! Is it bad that my favorite part of any holiday/celebration is the food?
I am not a big fan of sweaty men either so the awkward photo is fitting...I have to agree about the food thing during holidays, but I also add a touch of major OCD about the decorations to that...
ReplyDeleteUgh, running is sonot my thing so I give major props to your hubby for doing the 1/2 marathon, and to you for doing the clinic!
ReplyDeleteAnd the best part of any holiday is the food!
cheers to your husband for doing the half marathon :)
ReplyDeletei really like the color of the walls! and i can barely walk up two or three flights of stairs without getting winded, so many props to him for doing the half marathon.
ReplyDeleteyou guys are so cute :)
ReplyDeleteI think you have mastered the perfect effortless-looking wavy hair. If it is in fact not very effortless, all the more to you!
ReplyDeleteP.S. Congrats to your hubby! We are on temporary running hiatus after training for a marathon this past winter and spring and then realizing that it's a huge commitment. (Um yeah). Hoping to recommit this fall, probably for a 1/2.
thanks ladies! this crazy man just signed up for an upcoming marathon in the fall. I guess I'll be seeing him after that since all he does is run now!
ReplyDeletekayla, I hear the half-marathon isn't as bad, but then again I never actually ran one, sooo yeah.
