Justin's Niece

This weekend we went to a company picnic with Justin's mom's work.  J's niece Natalie (2 1/2) went along and J took some really good pictures of her playing.  I guess he's practicing for kids of his own someday!!  :)  The dog in the pictures is his dog from his parent's house.  
















Mum's the Word

Justin took the time this weekend to take pictures of some of mum's in our backyard.  He took some good ones!

My first race

I signed up to run my first 5K today.  It was 3.11 miles and I have never run that far without stopping before.  I did pretty good I think.  My friend who runs marathons told me to shoot for 40 minutes, and I made it in 36.  The person who won the race ran it in 16 minutes...guess I have more training to do!!  The race was to "stamp out hunger in dayton" and was hosted by Panera Bread.  After the race we got free sandwiches and bagels from there which really hit the spot!  J came along to take some pictures for me.

Glee Movie Premier

My friend Ashleigh had some tickets (and a whole grab bag of goodies) to see a special showing of the Glee 3D Concert Movie before it officially comes out to the public. Ashleigh had her wisdom teeth removed and still wasn't feeling well the day of the showing, so she offered the tickets to me to take Megan to see it. (Just FYI...Megan is the granddaughter of someone I work with in the office. She's 10 years old and actually one of my best friends here!! We love to do things together!) The experience was a lot of fun! We showed up early and waited in line all decked out in our Glee stuff. Megan tried to embarrass me by making me walk around the mall wearing all the glee stuff...it was so fun! If I had thought about it earlier, we would have worn the Glee shirts we made for our slumber party, but we didn't think of that until it was too late. There was really no need to wait in line because there were all of 30 people there to see the movie and the theater was not full at all, but it was all part of the experience! Here are a few pictures (taken from my phone) of us waiting!
