six month summary
i think it’s pretty clear that i’m never going to get caught up on this blog so i might as well just do a short compendium of what i’ve been up to the last six months and go from there. maybe, just maybe, i can get back into this. so, here’s what’s been going on:
- in the eleven holiday seasons i have spent with my hubby, 2009 was the first time we spent Christmas with my family. it was a lot of fun and i’m so glad we did it. not that i don’t love my in-laws but it was a nice change to spend such a special time with mine.
- we also threw our first real party – a new year’s eve party (hmm, i thought i had posted pix on fb but apparently not). it was wildly successful and everyone had a blast. there was tons of food, rock band, and a cheesy prom-style photo booth. it was great and i look forward to trying again next year.
- hubby ran his first full marathonat disney. it was a fun and full weekend. we went with a bunch of friends from around home and stayed at a super nice hotel together. we watched my cousin and a several friends run the half marathon in the snow, sleet, and rain. yep, snow in orlando. second time in my life i’ve seen that. the next day, hubby and a bunch of friends ran the full marathon. he hated it when he finished but i think he’ll do it again.
- i spent many, many long weeks training for my first half marathon, which is about the only thing that actually has been posted here in the last six months.
- after years of planning, we finally hiked the grand canyon! it was such an amazing experience and i was incredibly proud of myself at the end of it. way more of an accomplishment than the half marathon.
- we celebrated our sixth wedding anniversary with a day of boating and relaxing. i love my husband.
- i have become a true surf-widow. if there’s the slightest hint of surf when the work day is done, hubby is out the door. i might need to give it a try sometime this summer.
- we have spent countless weekends and nights having great times with our fabulous friends. this is by far the best place we have lived!
