I’m Still Alive….and I’m a Lifetimer!!!!!!

Hey everyone!! Wow…I can’t believe June is gone!!! Things in my house have been SO crazy!! But it’s been a great start to summer so far!! Here is a quick re-cap of my past 3 weeks!! <ul> <li>Kyle and I went to see Coldplay for his birthday…check out the post <a href="http://bangertfam.blogspot.com/2009/06/coldplay.html">here</a>. </li> <li>Kyle’s sister got married in Chicago…check out the picture HEAVY post <a href="http://bangertfam.blogspot.com/2009/07/melanie-steves-wedding.html">here</a>! </li> <li>I maintained my WW goal weight for 6 weeks and just yesterday (6/30/09) became a lifetime WW member!! <ul> <li>Side note: I think I would still like to lose about 5 lbs more, but I really wanted to go to WW for free so I set my goal weight higher for that. I know it’s a little sly, but hey this girl’s on a budget!!! :p </li> </ul> </li> <li>Our director at work left and someone within was promoted and another person is leaving so we have to hire 2 new staff members…and there are only 4 in our office when we are full staff….so I said all that to say this…WORK IS NUTS!!! </li> <li>And finally read below to see the re-cap from the 2nd 5K race that Kyle and I ran! </li> <li>We are still training for the 1/2 marathon in October. All this running is really starting to take up my time, but I think both of us are really enjoying it! </li> </ul> Saturday the 27th of June, Kyle and I ran our 2nd race in Pocahontas, Kyle’s hometown! It was to support Congenital Heart Disease. There were only about 140 runners and/or walkers…much less compared to our <a href="http://bangertfam.blogspot.com/2009/05/dam-to-dam-5k-race.html">first race in Des Moines</a>!! Abby, Kyle, and I stayed at Mom & Dad B’s house Friday night to get a few extra zzzz’s!
