Happy 7th Anniversary to my best friend, my soul mate, my loverboy...our anniversary was on Monday, but we were both sick with a bad cold and flu. We celebrated by going and grabbing a quick dinner at a local ale house and then came home to watch a funny movie in bed...it was nothing fancy, but one of the best anniversaries we've had...just being together, cuddling, in our cozy little home!

I promise this will be my last post on the Tough Mudder...it was quite possibly the toughest event I've ever competed in...
After months of training, it's done, I might just jump for joy shed a tear...
It consisted of approximately 13 miles of running and 23 obstacles at Squaw Valley Ski Resort in Olympic Valley, California. It has been said, that this was their steepest course of all of their courses across the world...I would second that...I felt like I was constantly climbing mountains! The obstacle shown above was called the half pipe and it took 45 minutes to get up it because of all of the people. 45 minutes was extremely too long to wait after just going through an ice bath right before it...
We made it!! The best part was running in, having everyone cheer for you! It took us 5 hours to complete with the back-up of people at some of the obstacles. It was amazing..I can't wait to do it again!
Above was one of the last obstacles before we crossed the finish line...Electric Shock Therapy...I luckily did not get hit with any voltages...thank goodness!
Me and my loverboy..I could not have done it without him!!! He kept me going the whole way...Thank God for him! Oh, and don't you love our orange headbands?? We got those and a nice cold beer for finishing...
Are you Tough Enough for the Tough Mudder??? Check out there many races to come in a city near you...
I recently saw a series on the blog, Three for the Road about Keeping the Love Alive and I loved it. It got me thinking of the ways me and Ryan keep our love alive. One of the things we do togther is run. We will have my mom watch our kiddos for a few hours so we can go on trail runs. I know, it is not the most glamorous thing to do together, but we are able to talk and push eachother and it gives us time to reconnect. We are eachother's cheerleaders! This last weekend we went on a 5 mile trail run and got to enjoy getting into the river afterwards...it was so cold refreshing!
We also share kisses, hugs and have lots of fun together being silly, which I think is truly important for our kiddos to see....
Hello on this first day of August, 2011. There is nothing I love more than a late summer day and watching the sun set among the trees in my backyard. Welcome to my little blog created by the lovely Moorea Seal. I am looking forward to this new adventure of sharing my daily life with you. Some days will be fun, some days will be happy and some days will just be right out crazy, but through it all, it will be beautiful in my eyes. Thank you for stopping by, I hope you will stay!
