I thought I'd give a little update on Holly...since she's little miss run lately. She ran the Baltimore half marathon yesterday in UNDER 2 hours!!!!
Erica ~ she'll be down for the 13K tower of terror run again. She wants to do the Princess half marathon or whatever it is in the spring time I think it is?

Way to go Holly!!! That is awesome!!!

That's awesome! I've been going in and out......I really want to do the Princess Half Marathon, but I think I'll skip the ToT this year. It's just too late for me! I can barely keep my eyes open at 10 pm, let alone run 8 miles........

I'm doing a non-Disney run in December, the OUC half marathon which is in Downtown Orlando. It should be neat, but I'll miss seeing all the princesses cheering me on!

Holly says thanks!! I think she is a bit sore today. I can't even imagine!!

Random and completely off-topic (Go Holly! ) but we took a drive out yonder today to visit family.
Yonder is what I call where Tom comes from. You go about an hour past civilization, take a left and go another 15 minutes.

Anyway, it was gorgeous and I had a camera so I was compelled to take pictures. Thought I'd share with the few who live in states where trees don't change colors (oh how I wish I were you!)

This one I took on the way to the WV Black Walnut Festival (in Spencer, WV) where Tom promised me carnie food.

I love areas like this, where the trees cover the whole street like a canopy!

Nothing like a WV road repair... just put a patch over it, don't paint any lines, and go on with life.

Sorry, I got a little excited over the barn and forgot to roll the window down.

Just another pretty area driving to Yonder, before you turn left.

After you turn left (A few miles from Tom's childhood home)

Right around the hill from Tom's house.

Just thought it was pretty! (I'm also hopped up on fresh squeezed lemonade, funnel cake and elephant ears. Yum!

 

[LCTsMom]

Great pictures Patsy. Looks like a gorgeous place!!

 

[PirateCutie05]

Wow Patsy, that is REALLY pretty!! Tom comes from a beautiful place!!!
And YUM i LOVE fresh squeezed lemonade!! It is the BEST at Oriole Park in Camden Yards. (For any that don't know...that would be the place that the Baltimore Orioles play baseball!! I just love my O's! Even if they are at rock bottom of the ALE... )

Tell me about it. Jeez Louis I better slow down or I might forget whats going on and what I need to do next.

I sent my brother a text that said "guess what I did today (other than the grow a baby thing, thats too obvious!)" and when he asked what I told him we bought our house.

It's super exciting. we're totally going this weekend to pick out paint colors!

Did i mention when the stick got a + on it my first thought was "Crap, mom and dad are going to kill me!"
Then it hit me we're buying a house, I'll be 22 and I'm married! I mean, crap! When did THAT happen??

Awesome, Patsy! Congrats
It is SUPER cute.

 

[Piecey]

Thanks guys. We were going to go pick up paint booklets and stuff at Lowes last night but I totally fell asleep (at 7pm!). One good thing about all this stuff going on (school, work, being pregnant) I finally SLEEP!

I'm so excited to get to design my own place. A girl at work said I'm going to drive Tom nuts though because the time we'll be moving in I'll be in mega-nesting mode and with two houses, I'll drive him crazy!

I can't wait to start picking out colors for the rooms!!!!

WooHoo. Sometimes growing up is fun!

We walked on the house. Home inspection dude called for a structural, reasoning scared us senseless and seems would deplete our savings to repair. So, we're walking.

On goes the search!

I'm sorry Patsy....but, better safe than sorry, right? Have fun with the search

Better safe than sorry!! You'll find the one that's right for you!

 

[Piecey]

Yeah, thats what I thought.

The guy said he actually wrote the paper (you know, the kind of paper us normal folk can't understand) for the state of WV that states when it does or does not require a structural inspection. He said it does not require one but he wouldn't let his kids buy the house without doing one.

So we're passing altogether.

Our wedding reception (very, very belated!) is Saturday. It's at 7.. if I can stay awake that late! *yawn*

(And my ticker is sooo wrong. According to my doctor I'm one of the lucky 15% of women that don't get morning sickness. I haven't gotten sick once. Woohoo! )

Wow really only 15% don't? My mom said she didn't have morning sickness for any of us. Although she was put in the hospital when she was pregnant with me. I forget what it was that she had... But because she was sick she got to know the gender and they told her I was gonna be a boy. My poor dad...
