The 2015 Tri-2-Beat Cancer Triathlon (Sprint)

Wooooo!!!!! That is where I’ll start. This weekend was insanity.  I ordered a new tri kit from Coeur Sports which arrived on Thursday before the race.  Talk about cutting it close. THEN, (Major TMI Warning) the ::ahem:: lady ::ahem:: came to visit me for the first time since…

An unforgettable weekend in Seattle

This past weekend, August 22-25, Nathan and I jumped on a plane and made the trek across America to Seattle, Washington.  We had been invited to the wedding of a good friend of mine and it was the perfect excuse to get away from DC for a short &#8220…

A great birthday

Thursday the 13th of June was my 26th birthday, and turned out to be my best one yet.  Usually I dread my birthday, not because of getting older but because I have always had bad birthdays.  The past couple years I have had to work late, have had some major…

Our Perfect Wedding

Photo Credit: Kristi Odom Photography Words do not describe how wonderfully perfect our wedding turned out to be.  It was held December 29, 2012 at the Fort Belvoir Officers’ Club in Fort Belvoir, VA.  Everything didn’t go as planned, but it didn’t matter.  Our friends…

Eric Church, a Pony Club Reunion, and “War Horse”

Busy weekend!  A few weeks ago I had bought tickets to see Eric Church in concert for Nathan’s birthday.  He was coming to town, and Nathan kept talking about how he wanted to get tickets, but he shouldn’t, but he wanted to, but he couldn&#8217…

Showers, Color, and Skins!

This past weekend was jam-packed. Saturday Nathan, mom, and I drove down to Charlottesville for a wedding shower at his family’s church.  We had a fabulous time, and everyone was so very generous to us!  It was a little hard, because I didn’t know very…

Hawaii Take 2 (Oahu & Maui)

Much-delayed update from my second trip to the beautiful Hawaiian islands.  This time we ventured to Maui, which was a spectacular end to the week.  Beautiful scenery and nothing but sunny days, it was as to be expected.  Seeing Nathan was a nice perk, too! Saturday, August 4 4AM…

Atlantic City Adventures

Last week Nathan took a flight home for the 4th, and stayed until the 8th.  We wanted to get some wedding things out of the way, so it seemed like the perfect time (especially considering I had the days off of work!). After spending almost four hours at Crate &amp…

Congratulations LU Grads!

Saturday I had the unique opportunity to attend the Liberty University graduation in Lynchburg, VA, for Nathan’s sister’s undergraduate graduation.  This year was especially a big one, because Mitt Romney was the selected speaker.  The weather was perfect but the crowd was insanity.  I was very…

13.1: You have been owned!!!

DONE friends, DONE. This past weekend was the Charlottesville Marathon/Half Marathon/8K/Kids Mile in the downtown area of Charlottesville, Virginia.  My running partner and I have been training for about 4 months for the Half Marathon, which is 13.1 miles of rolling Charlottesville terrain. Friday I was…
