Half Marathon Champs!

On Sunday Tim and I ran the Detroit FreePress Half Marathon (13.1 miles). I'm actually going to take some time to brag about Tim and me! We rocked to put it lightly!! We both had goals in mind and absolutely destroyed our goal time! Tim wanted to be under 10 minute mile pace and I hoped to be under 9 minute mile pace. My time was 1:53:58 which was an 8:41 mile pace and Tim's time 2:04:39 which was a 9:31 mile pace. In my age bracket which was 30-34 I got 53rd out of 1156 people and Tim got 253 out of 858 people. I'd say we exceded our expectations and I must say, I am so so proud of my husband for running it and getting such a fantastic time. I got a little lightheaded at the end and ended up feeling pretty nauseous for quite some time, but I think I may have pushed myself a little too hard. Three people died and I happened to be right behind two of them (within a minute). I must say I just can't stop thinking and praying for the families and the three people that died. It sure puts things in perspective!
Lastly, Tim and I couldn't be any sorer!

Laura and Jeff's wedding

Genevieve, Laura and I have been friends for 25 years! Unbelievable that we all still talk as often as we do after all these years. We've never lost contact for even a short time!

Laura and Jeff, childhood neighbors and now husband and wife!
Yeah for Tim and I getting a babysitter! It was sooo nice! We need to do it more often!

Apple Picking and Grandma Sandy's birthday!

We all went out to dinner to Italian Gardens to celebrate Grandma's birthday! Here she is with all her grandkids!
Apple picking is always a success, although there was a little scare that the wagon forgot us...he didn't!

This picture makes it seem like Jackson was quite the helper, but this may have been the only time I saw him with any apples.
