Success!

Well I successfully completed my first 5k! It felt great! I ran with nine other people that I knew, including Keith and John, so it was fun to be able to support each other. For four of us, it was our first 5k. John came in before me, but I informed him that it wouldn't happen next time. :) I don't know my exact time, but it was somewhere around 43 minutes. It would have been better if I hadn't stopped to use the restroom along the way, but it also would have been worse if my friend hadn't come back to run with me after she finished. She kept me motivated to keep running until the finish. I really appreciated it! Overall, I was pleased with how I did. I am excited for the next one!

Tea Party

Right before I left to attend the Tea Party on April 15th, I was on a local news website and found a video from last year's Tea Party. I am in it for a short time as I walk past the camera that was filming people holding up their signs. Keith did end up going with me this year, but checked the local newspaper online as soon as he got up the next morning to see if his picture was in it. It turns out that we were in the pictures, but they were taken from a distance and you can only see the back of us. I guess he's safe. ;) My favorite signs were "I got tired of yelling at my TV, so I came here" and "An angry mom is worse than an angry mob" held by a mom who was there with her kids.

Tax Day

Well today is tax day. That means I will be attending another Tea Party. I tried to get Keith to attend with me, but he is afraid he will end up with his picture in the paper. Since he works at "the heart of the Devil", he doesn't want to stir up any controversy at work. I think it would be cool to have my picture in the paper. We'll see what I can do. :)

I finally mailed in our taxes yesterday. I stayed home from work until I got them done. We are getting a pretty good refund back. I took a day off of work in February to work on them, but just never was able to get them finished after that until yesterday. We have decided to buy a laptop with our refund. I am really excited. Hopefully that means that I can blog more often? Let's hope so!

Another tidbit about today is that Keith and I kissed for the first time 18 yrs. ago. Also, he proposed (for the second time) 17 yrs. ago.

A lot has happened since I last posted. I will try to update this blog soon, but I am out of time for now.
