Days 197-199 (Wednesday 5/20-Friday 5/22)

<p>Hey all!! It’s been a BUSY past few days!!</p> <p>I’m not going to do a full food recap…but a few highlights!  </p> <p>Wednesday was yet ANOTHER baby shower!! At my house too!! But since I hosted everyone else brought food! The shower was for a friend who had a little boy, Noah, about 6 weeks ago. He is just about as sweet as can be and so cute!! Boy all these baby showers are really giving me the “itch”!! <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizdDoSnmf_6k_XCTyoQ8dtMZJ2d9PMncGNViJatN4gFbAsOWikXscN89QzjDmUpxUv29CSDcaTEiSh0hlUPAC9sliKG_zkWDe1JFZJaf_R7i7DHS-w0j1MDtG2C1ppeDFF0AeCKdNcO6VJ/s1600-h/DSC02678%5B3%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC02678" border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiO3PKTzl4GMhIB1er298kAVoaSqMSDlxKbY1z8u2jf_Ev_vIWs3IXhqYx5GBHmHiGyRxi_fGkSDQy3vL-RJhhLyqBG43KACFxgftDRyqbHBoOlNL0diDpL1e6N_RNBMrxemcKM6e6voXjA/?imgmax=800" style="border-right-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" title="DSC02678" width="404"></a></p> <p>Everyone did great with the food!

It was a great time celebrating Noah and catching up with all these wonderful girls! My sister and I are the only ones out of the bunch that don’t have kids so it’s quite fun to listen to everyone’s stories!!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQYaLy2mgYbURNLSPkPHoLIq5bqferxRNEKJPtuQGSN7W-9aDZa524iADlSIgwPswmwGtix6ovOaKSgnfXl07rHoqrhtTOtnsKgJXZEBpuvHZs3HxArwyeOOQGfvkCYEp68u-3N7Ks3sho/s1600-h/DSC02709%5B3%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC02709" border="0" height="301" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgS9U54M5hPh2SvJmFgahGJDFYieI9Ba9KmWVbZf2UJRzjQi6JfIQZgsF4bICkpEkmR4D2G5LcXVHzXjB6sidEtniX41QQzoCt9hV_e8S30S85T_Po1AK6fUj7OalzVr-FJ4lkH1fECdvVv/?imgmax=800" style="border-right-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" title="DSC02709" width="400"></a>          <p>Thursday was a CRAZY busy day at work…I’m ready for work to slow down. I came home and CRASHED!! But then DH got me up and we ran 3 miles. I made him mad though because about 3/4 of the way done I say “why is this so easy?”! But honestly…I was so surpried that I wasn’t about dying…it was a great feeling…I just wish it wouldn’t have upset him!! He’s ok though…proud of me, but frustrated that he can’t always keep up with me. I tell him though that he started about 4 weeks ago and I started 6 months ago!! So I think he is doing AMAZING!!</p> <p>Speaking of running, I FINALLY signed us up for the Dam to Dam 5K in Des Moines. It’s a week from today!! I totally excited for my first race!! And that DH is going to run it with me!!<img height="329" src="http://www.damtodam.com/images/09-d2d-logo.jpg" style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto" width="350"></p> <p> </p> <p>FINALLY Friday!! Work was, yet again, busy!! And frustrating…won’t go into the details, but lets just say some people need to keep their noses out of other people’s business!!!!!!!</p> <p>We had a cook out with another couple last night. It was FUN!! We grilled out and hung out in the garage (DH has a TV out there so he didn’t miss the NBA game!). The neighbor stopped over and we ended up going out for a few…too many! ;)<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlz_ppCVD9ceTC_avnewPNxhh66I_2VGRZfZLAkU7PkUqSS3942iOPu8jHexepkGTg5qUZt5dO_wRxJ_S1HjrmGh9izZX_jO5G7Z39572UwFz8TmyJKTlTF__xMm3rSW6W59y_b3io9rlQ/s1600-h/DSC02719%5B3%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC02719" border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhcE1LA-Bl6i5wsGAND-4dSCjrvtXADWWmuDCWk3asEwH14CU-TPtEjLnVHEhOFznWdkNKnr1I1qlAcgZkNsh2tzAdWlPUqfuDpmSuOssdIAgxuJxbjeOXEorQP4i1KQVRW5vC3rJLSS_p/?imgmax=800" style="border-right-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" title="DSC02719" width="404"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcAL8j__M4URFLxlACacdmZvhi0dsoCw1vMZHnseKXlOmLDvqXEtCkdAerxiwkf2IQ86gS0YJwPV5s1wKUZLcDpuV8JO0oqCFhUFdFgL_NNGbO8OrKd4NMMmbNA3BdrmCmSuBJsMoZjnUu/s1600-h/DSC02721%5B3%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC02721" border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4sZ68EMmnkYY1Pim8XGg3WviDWSL6ppYYadBSjLehBDztgwwVIejvZRuWlKEno4cr6S0tY5EF-eMSPkZY-B2zSv6aheFElwPKBuekoItR-9c8mPlyf3sCM5IwvfW8BKcg3qMvQJhpyZA4/?imgmax=800" style="border-right-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" title="DSC02721" width="404"></a></p> <p>I am now up way to early on a Saturday morning for  being out as late as we were last night!
