Busy (Ham)Bees

We've had yet another very eventful weekend, and it's not even over yet! Last night we had some neighbors over for a spaghetti dinner, in part to "carbo-load" for the Race for the Cure, but mainly just to visit and play cards! This morning we were up bright and early so I could race (I use that term veeeeery loosely) in my second Race for the Cure. My neighbor and good friend Chastity ran with me, her first race, and did great! We didn't come close to winning, but that wasn't our objective. We finished it without stopping to walk and felt great at the end! I really like 5k's - they're about half as long and half as hard as 10k's - ha!

After the race, we went to Preston's football game. He did a good job and we really enjoyed the great weather - his game last week was called-off due to rain. After the game we went to pick up some grass seed for our back yard. Next weekend we'll be seeding the back with help from our friend Todd. We'll sod (i.e. insta-yard) the front and sides. After the "grass store," we picked up the first of our shrubs and spent the afternoon planting them. There's more of that in store for tomorrow, with a couple breaks for church and a wedding shower for my cousin Casey. We'll get to rest a week from. . . NEVER!! :)

(well, mainly me, she never looks disheveled!)

I actually did a little more than "supervise"
