GHS Half Marathon

Mike just completed his second half marathon in the year 2015 and his third in the last 5 months. He ran the GHS half marathon in Greenville, SC. Mike said it was a nice run but most of it was a straight line down the Swamp Rabbit Trail. He did a great job! He finished in 98th place out of 988 runners and finished in 1 hour 38 minutes! I'm so proud of him! He ran this race three minutes faster overall than the last and he improved his mile time by 14 seconds :) I'm so impressed that he can do this and that he can do it so well. He loves going running and Daniel and I love cheering him on.

Yesterday was a cold morning. I don't understand why they think they need to start races at 7:30am in February. It was so cold. Daniel was all wrapped up and had 2 blankets but since it was super windy he wasn't having it. So we watched Mike cross the finish line through the window of a CVS store :) We were still cheering really loud though along with a bunch of other people who had the same idea I did.

Congratulations sweetie! We're so proud of you and we can't wait until the end of April to cheer you on again!

Snow Day!

On February 17th we woke up to find that we had gotten freezing rain and some snow during the night. We really only got ice but since the roads were bad, especially early in the morning, the schools were closed so Mike got to stay home. Since it was mostly ice outside there wasn't really anything for Daniel to play in but we took him outside and let him experience what little we did get.

Strike a pose!!

I'm all done

When we were done playing, I got a text from Bri telling me that Craig was home from work too because of the weather so we bundled up and headed over to there place for the afternoon :) They are going to have a baby girl soon so Daniel got to use the crib for his nap (which was great!) and we also had some fun dressing him up :) Someone has to model how the hats will look on a baby! We also had him in another outfit but I didn't get a picture :( Aren't these cute though!

Daniel also got to meet Turner! I think he was curious about this furry creature that was his size but he had fun playing with him.

We had fun playing games and watching TV and just hanging out. Its fun to spend time with friends and get out of the apartment at the same time :)

The best seat in the house...he's sitting on Bri's belly :)

It was a great snow/ice day!

Valentine's Day 2015

We had a really fun Valentines Day and weekend this year. It started on Friday night with Mike and I going out. I let Mike surprise me on Valentine's Day so I never know where we're going but he does a good job. This year we went to Ruby Tuesday's (we were going to go to Longhorn but the wait was more than an hour and a half) and then we went roller skating! I was great to get out and have some alone time! To be honest, since we had Daniel I don't care where we go on a date or what we do, just as long as we get to be together :)

Our Valentine's day was busy and soooo much fun! It started with Mike going out and getting us a yummy breakfast. We had yummy blueberry and chocolate chip muffins with apple fritters that were warm and fresh. It was a delicious breakfast! So good that I didn't take time to take a picture of it :)

Mike and I don't do gifts for Valentine's Day. The only thing I ask for is a surprise date and a rose which he surprised me with on Valentine's morning. I broke the rules though and got him some truffles which are one of his favorites :) After our breakfast and hanging out at home we had to go to Walmart (such a glamorous activity). While we were out our friends texted and told us they had something to give us but since we weren't home they met us at Walmart. They surprised us with a piece of chocolate cake from Fatz :) It was sooooo yummy! After we ate, we went shopping together. I must admit, shopping at Walmart is more fun with friends :)

After we went shopping we decided to invite Bri and Craig over for dinner to continue the fun we were having at the store. But before they came it was time for a photoshoot with my little boy!

He is just so cute and sweet! I love my sweet little valentine :)

Bri and Craig came over and we had lasagna which was yummy and had fun playing with Daniel and talking and just hanging out. (I just wish I had taken pictures) They went home when we put Dan to bed so once they left Mike and I got in our pajamas and watched Leap Year and ate cheesecake from Ruby Tuesdays! It was a wonderful day and we had so much fun!

I love my two Valentine's! I'm so lucky to have a husband who spoils me and shows me how much he loves me everyday and not just on Valentine's day! I also love my newest valentine, he is the sweetest! I love when he says mama now and it just melts my heart. They're the best present I could get!
