Mmm mmm, leftovers!

Is there anything better than Thanksgiving leftovers on a Sunday afternoon?Check out those legs!

A day of Thanksgiving.....

What I am most thankful for TODAY....

*a new kitchen table to set

*a husband who does ALL the cooking.......everyone should try barbque turkey, best ever
*the bright idea we had to rent a jump house to keep all the cousins busy, was worth every cent

*all these people
*a sick, sweet Avery who had to stay upstairs ALL day while his cousins played away because he was sick.....he didn't complain once but wished everyone a Happy Thanksgiving from the top of the stairs. He even asked if the food was yummy. Broke my heart.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Avery and his pre-Thanksgiving feast.

Enjoy your day!

I did it!

Today was an absolutley BEAUTIFUL day to run my first 1/2 marathon. I mean if you are going to run one it is nice if it can be 67 degrees and right on the beach! All three of us that went succeeded. It was long and I have to admit there were a couple of times I wanted to cry. At the end when I saw Nate and my kids I got a little teary and considered stopping right there. But no, I had to finish! With a time of 2 hours and 4 min I was very proud. Better than I expected since there were a few unexpected hills. All in all I am glad is it over! I have sore feet and legs and a sunburned face. What an experience! Will I do it again??? You bet!

My supporters.....HUGE to have them there!

By the way, Santa Barbara DOES have cheesey hotels....

Off to the RACES........I mean race.

Well, I am off to Santa Barbara to run my first 1/2 marathon! Yikes! I have been training for a few months and the day has finally arrived. I am excited but also nervous. I certainly picked a beautiful place to run 13 miles, it is right along the beach! Tonight myself and two friends that are also running are staying at a cheesy hotel ( how bad can it be if it is in SB???) We are going to do some shopping and have a carb filled dinner. Anyway, wish me luck! I will post tomorrow and let you know how it all turned out! http://www.newspress.com/halfmarathon/
