Just say yes to students...and doctor students...
We had a fun weekend...yes, I know it is already Wednesday. The past 2 days have been a bit hectic. My brother in law and his family came to stay with us for the weekend. Kristen, my sister in law, has recently gotten in to running. She is running a 10K in a few weeks so she signed us up for a 5K to prepare. Now, let me say, I have NOT been running. I used to run and I *sort of* enjoy it. No, that is a lie. I hate running. But I LOVE the feeling I have after I run. So it balances out. But I just haven't really wanted to run and I know I can't train for a race since we are about to get to the nitty gritty of IVF. I do about 3 miles on the elliptical 2-3 days a week so I thought that would help me out for this race. No. Not at all.
It has been pretty nice weather here over the past couple of weeks but on race day it was 35! And windy! Are you kidding me? Not only do I hate running but I really hate running in the cold. Me, Lonnie, Marshall, and Kristen all bundled up and headed downtown. We left the 3 kids with my mother in law...she is a saint.

side note. have I mentioned how happy I am that my honey is rocking the full beard these days? I love it. I know it won't last much longer...
Lonnie and I coming down the stretch. Kristen took this picture because she smoked both of us!
Even though it was way too cold for me, we still had a great time. It was something fun for the four of us to do together. We will definitely run more together. Hopefully I will be walking the next one because I will be knocked up. *please*
We all came back home, showered, and decided to head to the horse races for the afternoon. There is a big race track in my town and we go a few times a year. It is a fun way to mingle, lose money, run into people you haven't seen in ages, and drink beer! Then sometimes you run into people you see all the time...the bestest! :)
That night we ordered some amazeballs Italian food to go and ate family style in my dining room. All while drinking wine and chatting about whatever came to mind. It was the best kind of time and I am so thankful to have married into such wonderful and loving family.
I leave you with this Iknowsheismychildbutthisisthecutestvideoofalltime. Blakely learned how to turn in circles yesterday. Dizzy baby.
