Busy, busy, busy

But I guess that's the story of my life these days. And I'm loving it!!!! So we came back from the Memorial Day weekend with a short week at work. But for some reason, it seemed long. Maybe it's the fact that the boss is out for two weeks (last week and this coming week) and I'm having to fill those shoes on top of my own. It's a good feeling of accomplishment when it's all over and the department has survived, but right now, it's a bit overwhelming. But anyways, so work was busy and all this last week, but today, even though incredibly busy, was very much fun!! We got up this morning at 5 am, put on our running shoes (along with some other things), loaded up Anna, and set out for Little Rock. Howard and I both ran the Dino Dash 5k!! Not together (he's way faster than me), but we both did it. It was such a good time!!! My friend, LaMonica, actually ran it with me as my coach and encourager. She was perfect in every way. It got really tough about halfway through as we turned around and started running towards the sun. And the hills.....there were some big, long hills!!! It was a hard race, but I feel so good that I was able to finish. :) After the race, we met up with Howard's mom who had Anna for us while we ran, and we headed to the Museum of Discovery. Very cool place too!!! They have a space that is just for kids 6 yrs and younger, so it was perfect for Anna. She had a blast!! Didn't really want to leave, but we had to get back for cousin Katie's 1st birthday party!!! It's hard to believe that little girl is already one!! It was a great party, but I have to tell you, by the time we got home from that, I was tired! My head hit the pillow and I was down for the next hour. That was a wonderful nap too!! So here I am, Howard has run out to rent a movie, Anna has been asleep for an hour now, and I'm enjoying a diet coke (and some popcorn when Howard gets back with a movie)!! A perfect ending to a perfect day!! Oh, and hopefully I can post some pictures of these events at some point. I don't exactly have pictures on my camera, but will try to get some from those people who took pictures. Oh my gosh, I can't believe I forgot to mention the face lift!!!! Don't you guys just love it!!! I do, I think it's amazing. Christy at Be Design did an amazing job for me!!!
