Last Sunday my friend Katie ran her first half marathon. She set a goal, stuck with it despite life getting busy, and kicked it in the rear! As much as I can't imagine myself running that many miles, I do think the challenge would be very fun to accomplish. You know, as long as you alter my normal definition of fun...
Who doesn't go cheer on their friends who are running ample amount of miles while eating healthy McDonalds on the sidelines? Hey, it's a tough job, but someones got to do it!
Obviously supporting all that running wore Gary and Max out. I love the fall weather that is setting in. Being able to layer up just a little and have the blankets out, windows open--love it. Now, I will not welcome the real cold once it sets in, but for now, I'll take it. Especially this personal little heater attached to me for another 8 weeks.
The day before we spent the morning at the zoo. It was cool out, just right though, and barely anyone there. I can't remember the last time I've been when it was like that--it was also just shortly after they opened and of course starting getting busier around the time we left, but it was really fun to feel like we had to place to ourselves. We didn't, of course, but still pretty dang fun. It's a really good and easy past time for sure--love being able to go to the zoo as a family!
Later Saturday we dropped Caden off with my parents and we went to a friends wedding. My parents also had my sister's youngest, and Caden just loves his cousins, so it was fun for him to be able to get that time with my parents and Shepherd. The two are so funny together and, I think, at a fun age as well. I can't wait for them to grow up together and am so glad we get to be close to most our family so we can have that--so Caden and baby can have those relationships. Love it.
Gary and I also had a good time at the wedding. I'm bummed and can't believe we 1. Didn't get a picture with the bride and groom and 2. Didn't get a big group picture. I mean, it's not mandatory, but I do love me some good group pictures and darn it-we were all finally together! Life has been so busy, and about to get busier, so it was nice to be able to catch up with everyone that we don't normally keep in touch with or get to see.
Gary and his buddy, Drew; and me and my hot date. (That dress certainly has gotten it's use. Thank you Target maternity section. Two weddings and one gala. And I also am thinking it may be one I can wear after...depends. Sometimes when you wear something at this point in pregnancy it just doesn't seem to look the same otherwise, so we'll see...)
Just throwing a little cuteness in there. He's been intrigued with our wallets recently-which is fine, but we have to keep an eye on him. I'm nervous that I won't notice him playing with it and go somewhere to find a necessary card missing. Highly possible. And sharing oreos can be hard, but with this cute thing, it comes pretty easy.
Last, but not least, Monday. A coworker and I were able to grab lunch together on Monday and decided to go out to Whole Foods. We wanted to try Doo Dah, actually, I recently tried it for the first time (which was the best lunch date ever with my dad, by the way.) but she hasn't and unfortunately they aren't open on Mondays. So, she suggested checking out the new Whole Foods-and that we did. It was awesome. First of all they had samples, and I just love samples, but especially melt-in-your-mouth truffle samples. oh emm gee. I wanted to buy them all. So good.
We ventured over to their food area and looked around a bit before deciding out trying out their salad bar. It was the best I have ever had. I was hesitant and new to a lot of it, but it all came together and was so good. You can even see my little tofu piece there I tried. Has fresh veggies, hummus, feta, a avocado balsamic dressing...I was in love. We need one on the west side, my bank account may differ-it is a little bit more than the normal, but personally, I think it's worth it and you can definitely tell. Much more options when it comes to fresh and natural.
One day...one day I'll win the lottery and after all my ducks are in a row I will shop Whole Foods and eat their salad bar every day. I will also be perfect. Yeah, that sounds about right and totally realistic...
