brigantine

A few days late... but this weekend Dan & I went to Brigantine, NJ for some sun and fun.. or rather, cold and windy fun. It was mostly just us playing with the dogs and freezing our butts off but good nonetheless.

happy valentine's day!

There is a guy who is pretty important to me.

1. He loves going to Disney just as much as I do (maybe more) 

2. He takes care of me when I am sick (and I am not fun when I am sick)

3. He helped me so much with planning our wedding (he even was the one who found our photographer & convinced me to use the Philly trolley.. though this picture was not taken by our photographer but rather our MOH)

4. He was my best friend first

5. He is my biggest fan and comes to pretty much all my races & runs

6. He listens to me cry and carry-on about things going wrong in my life and does everything he can to make it better

7. He loves to go to the beach too

8. He loves me and accepts me - he loved me when I was overweight and loves me now

9. He gives the best hugs and his laugh makes me laugh... and he's pretty cute too

10. He goes along with my crazy ideas and suggestions but helps me see the practical side of things

I love you, Dan... to our 7th Valentine's day together and our 7th month of marriage. 


Happy Valentine's Day!

is it Valentine's Day yet?

Maybe I'm weird or maybe I'm just a sap but I really look forward to Valentine's Day. I just love it. I love eating our favorite foods together, buying each other presents, and eating chocolate (that's just me though - its common knowledge that Dan isn't a fan).

This week feels like it is dragging on forever yet V-Day is only 2 days away. And I can't wait to spend time with Dan for our first V-Day as husband & wife. It keeps making me think of our very first Valentine's Day together - we weren't even together yet officially but he still went out of his way to send me some V-Day love in the form of a red cuddly build-a-bear (which I still have by the way). I think that day made me realize Dan was going to be part of my life for a very long time.

Expect a long, sappy, mushy post about all the reasons I love this guy. And lots more pictures.

...

I promise as V-Day dies down and spring approaches I will post more... house-wifey things. Or rather fake house-wifey things. Life has this funny way of flying by and I get so distracted. But I promise, good things are coming to this blog.   :)

cupid's chase 5K

A couple weeks ago Dan asked me what I wanted for Valentine's Day and I replied, "chocolate... lots of chocolate. and Peter Pan on DVD" (we all know I'm a freak for disney movies). But then I was REALLY thinking about it and told him I changed my mind and wanted him to run in a 5K with me...

and he agreed!

So with some fast thinking on my part, I found one in Philly near the art museum that seemed fun and Valentine's Day related - the Cupid' Chase 5K.

Maybe I thought too fast though because it was COLD. Windy. Freezing. and hard to find parking. But we managed.

 

 

 

 We did not run the whole thing but I am very proud of Dan for finishing and participating with me. Definitely one of the best Valentine's day gifts he's given me.

As for the actual day, we are going to go out to dinner after work and spend time together. Usually after work Dan is working on wrestling things or doing homework and I am at the gym but we're going to put each other first and just relax and enjoy dinner.

...

It's Monday morning... Mondays aren't fun but I plan to have a good day anyway.

snowstorm! or not

So this hyped up snowstorm was basically a dud. Yes it snowed and yes the roads got a little wet but we really did not get that much. Once we got out of our apartment complex this morning, the roads were perfectly fine.

But I did manage to grab some photos late last night so we did experience a little bit of Nemo.

It's Saturday. Dan & I ran in a 5K together this morning (I'll post about that next!) and he is off to wrestling for the day/night and I plan on doing absolutely nothing except snuggling with my dog and only getting up to change the movie in the dvd player.

Happy weekend!
