Good morning….today is Tuesday….NOT Monday!

It feels like Monday!!!!  I don’t think I can get passed that feeling today.  I had the most glorious looooong weekend!  I soaked in every moment!  I was too busy to get all my pictures onto the computer….so no pictures yet!  I was too busy relaxing by the pool!  :)  sigh….

One of the biggest highlights of my weekend was Sunday.  My very own husband preached his first sermon to “big people” on Sunday!!!!!!  He has taught youth and college many times…..but never adults.  He was invited to be a guest preacher at a tiny church in our town.  Thankfully it really is a tiny church and there were only about 20 people…..and we brought our entire family….so we added another 10 people! ha!  Very very sweet people. I was so proud of husband.  He did a wonderful job and didn’t even seem nervous….even though I’m sure he was!  And they asked me to sing also! haha!  So I did!  I took lots of pictures so I will be sure to share them soon!

Monday we relaxed by the pool and sat outside in the beautiful weather all day!  It was fabulous!  However I must not be the best at applying sunscreen because I have splotches on me…..I missed quite a few spots!  ha!

Oh and I finally soaked off my Shellac manicure last night……on day 17!!!!!!!!!!  Can you believe that?!  You could tell my nails had grown but there were still NO CHIPS on the polish!!!!  That stuff is amazing! 

Big news people:  my very first 5k race is this Saturday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  If you have been reading the blog….I have been talking about my training and such for the past few months.  I am super duper nervous about!  I know I can do it, I think I am just psyching myself out.  I just want to encourage everyone who has ever wanted to run and has been too afraid or thought you couldn’t do it!  YOU CAN!!!!!  Trust me.   I started out barely being able to run for 90 seconds!  Say what?  Oh yeah…..that is no lie!  Now I am running a 5k!  I have to pinch myself because I can’t believe I am actually doing this!  I am very proud that I have stuck with it.  I have definitely seen huge improvements in my body, health and self-esteem. 

Well, I’m thankful for McCafe coffee this morning.  (got up too late to make my coffee! boo! )  But kudos to McD’s for getting me through the drive through in under a minute!  I’m pretty sure that’s a record! 

I can’t wait to catch up on everyone’s blogs and read about your weekends!  Hope everyone enjoys this week!  :) 

Hugs!

For real, my days are all thrown off! That is so great about your husband! I really want to get a gel manicure but my nails grow so fast, I'm worried about that more than it chipping. You'll do great on Saturday! I'm hoping to do that soon!
