waiting...

That's right, we are still waiting to see where we are moving at the end of next month. But, this is the definite downward slope of the waiting game.  Ryan takes his last engineering exam this Friday and we know he will find out sometime around then.  Next time I write, I will KNOW where we are going! Whew.

Last time I wrote, I said I was running a 10k.  Well, I did it! I ran the whole thing.  It was an amazing event--over 1100 runners! I finished in 1hr3min which was 5 min slower than I wanted, but the trail was SO hilly I cannot be disappointed in myself. Now, I am training (sorta) for a half marathon on May 20th.  It is hard for me to run a longer path because of where we live, but I am hoping to use a day off next week to go on one long long run to prove to my body that it can happen. 

This past weekend we roadtripped to Houghton, MI for Tech graduation and one last hoorah with our friends.  Now, there are only a small handful of Ryan's friends left at school so it will be our last trip for quite awhile.  It was SO nice to see our friends and reminisce about the simple life we had when we lived there.  We do not have anything complicating our life now--but living in the city adds such an unneccesary stress.

The week, my mom is planning a visit! I am so excited (Ryan is too)! So, next week I will write more on that AND I will report on our new location! YAY!

  2. I was so happy to see you! I have to pretend like you'll be back again in a few weeks so I don't get disappointed I won't see you for a while.
