Happy Birthday US Army

and happy flag day as well. I am so bad about updating this blog and I really need to do better.

First, the half marathon happened and it was a total nightmare! It was so disorganized but on the other hand it was also one of the best runs I have ever done in that I ran all of it. We are still waiting on our t-shirts. I did have so much fun with Kara though. We have tons in common and it was nice going and spending time with her. She did so great on the run as well and she convinced me to run the Army Birthday 10 miler less than a week later. LOL. That run was so nice as far as organization. There were multiple water stops, and the whole thing was just nice. The course was hard though in that the next day I was really sore. Even more sore than after the half.

My birthday was the 12th and I drug my ass up and out to crossfit for the birthday WOD which kicked my hiney. It was all the things I hate. Split jumps, box jumps, rowing and burpees. Apparently my friends picked my workout for me. LOL

After the WOD my friends took me to lunch at Sherefe's. They got me some great gifts, a cake and we had so much fun together. The company and the food was amazing. After lunch I came home and had a nice treat of a webchat with Paul who got me a Garmin forerunner GPS for my birthday. I love it. I had wanted one so badly. I also got a promise of him baking me a birthday cake when he comes home. He also sent me the template of my new back tattoo that I was also getting that day. Its daisies and butterflies. I love it and he did a good job drawing up what I wanted.
After my chat with Paul I met up with Meg, Clare and Melissa to go get my tattoo. I was so nervous and really worried about how badly it would hurt but it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Dont get me wrong, it wasn't not painful but it wasnt awful either. In the end the tattoo was exactly what I wanted and I am so glad I got it. It is beautiful and I cant wait for Paul to see it in person. When we left the parlor we went to dinner at Mash House and I had the most amazing Greek salad with chicken and pitas. It was so good. They also gave me a piece of cake for my birthday which I shared with everyone. When Paul comes home I want to take him to eat there because Chuck, Clares hubs got a bone in ribeye that I know Paul would have loved.

So, that was my birthday. I had a good day!

Sunday I stayed home and cleaned the house. I also went to breakfast with Michele and then to the mall to get a new bathing suit top. I was happy with what I did yesterday since my house was filthy and i got it really clean. I also got the laundry all done as well.

Today I took off again from crossfit and running. I decided to give myself two days of rest after all the running I did last week. So anyhow today I changed my bedsheets and mowed the yard. OMG, it was sofriggenhotoutside today. I was dying. After lunch I went to get my nails done so that I have a new pedi for Puerto Rico. I got hot hot hot pink with white tips. I love it. I also got my fingernails painted white which I hate so I will be repainting them. I came home and made a good healthy dinner of marinara with chicken, spaghetti squash, broccoli and 2 oz of pasta. I was craving real pasta so I had it.

We leave for Puerto Rico on thursday. I am so excited to go. I think we are going to have so much fun. Also that when we get back my parents will be here soon after and then my sister and then, MY WONDERFUL HUBBY will be home next month. I cant give details but in about 6 weeks I should be holding the love of my life again. I am so happy.

well I reckon Ive caught up everthing for the most part. I will try to be better about updating.
