Roughin It

We just had the best weekend!  It was so nice outside and we wanted to do something outdoorsy so we borrowed my parents 4-wheelers, invited some friends, and hit the open road! ...just to 5 mile pass :)  We rode around a little and then shot clay pigeons.  Except we forgot the pigeon thrower, so the boys had to do it by hand haha.  Brooke took a little spill...but other than that, it was a fabulous summer weekend!  We finished the night off with pizza by the pool.  ♥ Summer Nights ♥



running = ♥

I'm loving this active me.  I took a break from my running last night and went on a 2 mile walk with my trusty steed, B-dog.  It was so warm and peaceful.  I got to thinking about how I used to hate loathe running or walking fast or even walking period.  I remember in middle school gym class when we'd have to run around the .1 mile (or something like that) gym and I would just about cry every time.  I'd run one lap and have the most awful sideache and just knew I was being tortured.  Then, when I hit real maturity as a Jr. in high school, we had to run for basketball and again, I was planning my own funeral.  Anyway, the real point here is that I am really starting to enjoy running and walking and exercise in general.  I'm pretty upset that I didn't find this new joy sooner in my lazy life.  This reminds me... I need some new running shoes and these have caught my eye...

CUUUTTEEE huh?  I've been feeling so pink lately.  Anywho...they're a pretty penny for a couple o' broke people newlyweds.  However, I think Dave missed my half birthday present this year so maybe he owes me :)  Plus I feel like I could run further and longer and jump higher and ... let's just say they'd be worth it!
