Weekend recap: Monster Mash Race and so much more


My Husband is a genius! He brought home his sim card reader and I not officially have photos uploaded! WOO HOO! Problem solved. In case you have no idea what I’m talking about. Go here.

So lets weekend recap it…

Saturday morning, bright and early, we’re talking 4:45AM, hubs and I head out to the Monster Mash 5K…

It was so cold! So I threw together a “costume”…

I was a “Tree Hugger” :)

It was so cold that morning and cold-front just came in and the air felt so thin, while running it felt like my throat was closing up. Awful. By the middle of mile 2 the random cold throat thing went away. I brought my camera with in my SPIbelt :)

After this huge loop we were coming up to the finish line… hubs and I were in a friendly competition to see who could beat each other… since he’s faster than I am, I was determined to win this one (he’s beat me on all the other races we’ve done together), we saw the finish line and started sprinting towards it, I was giving it all I got. and WOO HOO! I WON! I beat Hubs by ONE second. Can you believe it? So nice, so nice.

Afterward we went home, and took an hour nap before headed out to Carters Country. Hubs wanted to go…

Good times had by all.

In other news, last-last weekend Hubs and I went to take “After-session” wedding photos with our photographer, here’s a few she sent me:

Whatcha think? I love them all :)

I had this thought and posted it on twitter {because thats what you do with twitter, you randomly think and post it}… “Wondering what would it be like if I never blogged again?”  Hmm… all you bloggers, have you ever thought that?

Where’s my cord!?


So I wish I had today’s post all ready to go. I took so many awesome pictures this weekend. Sigh. The problem you ask? A missing camera cord. I cannot find the correct one for the life of me. This is so frustrating! Oh well…

I’ll just have to weekend recap it later. But I will tell you, the Monster Mash 5k was fun. I brought my camera with me on the run and took a few pictures during the race, the agenda for the race was “HAVE FUN!” :) Hubs was such a good sport, he was so cold, but ran his heart out. My mission was to beat him, he’s much faster than me… and as we were getting to the finish line we both started sprinting to the finish… and… I beat him. :) BY ONE SECOND! Ah, it was awesome. I can’t wait to see the official pictures from that! More to come later…

In the meantime… HAPPY NOVEMBER Ya’ll! How’s everyone’s November starting off? Mine is fantastic! I LOVE the time change, “Fall back” is such a great time. Gaining an hour of sleep is A-OK in my book. I went to bed at 9:30 last night because I couldn’t keep my eyes open and woke up this morning at 6AM no problem. Love it. How’s everyone adjusting?

Hopefully tonight I can figure out this camera situation by either finding the cord or figuring out another way to get those pictures onto my Macbook.

Have a great Monday ya’ll!!
