Weekend Update

Hi Y'All,

I am practicing that :) 

I have been computer-less for about a week, so sorry for the lack of posts.  Last weekend we had a fabulous time in CT.  We got to hang with my 93 year-old grandma and her sister and lots of family and friends.  We also got some relaxing in at the lake.  Thanks to everyone who came to see us.

I am ashamed to admit this, but we never ate the top tier of our wedding cake on our anniversary.  Good thing I wasn't a "blogger" then.  We just never remembered to bring it back with us and didn't visit CT around that time of our anniversary so there it sat in my parents freezer for almost 13 months.  I think my Dad was ready to start charging us rent. We used this visit home to finally eat our cake in the presence of our friends.  This may be the few glasses of wine talking, but it was pretty delicious.  Still moist and fluffy. 

Reenacting the big day

The next day I was able to check something off my Moving Bucket List (more on that in another post), and ran around entire lake.  Our cottage is on a lake that is 7 miles around and my friends and I would always run attempt to run around it during the summer when we were younger.  We would make it a mile then decide to visit people we knew who would usually give us cookies and then we would either keep going the rest of the way around mostly walking or turn around and walk the mile back. Either plan ended with eating 3D Doritos in my boat.  We always felt like we earned them because of our run.

Since I started running longer distances it has been a goal of mine to tackle the lake.  It is very hilly, but was a fun little run with awesome scenery. 

 

We spent the rest of the day relaxing by the water and it was just glorious. 

Bye for now.
