Denial

You know you are in denial about gaining weight when...

1.  You attribute your jean tightness to the fact that you "just washed and dried them"

2.  You believe those extra pounds on the scale are from "all that muscle your building."

3. You think your scale is suddenly inaccurate.

4.  The doctors office scale "always weighs heavy anyway."

Computer CRASH!

Computer crash.  That pretty much sums up why I have not been on facebook, blog or e-mail. 

Who Says Norfolk is Ghetto??

Joel took me on a date to Botanical Gardens.  Here are some of my favorite flowers.

I pretended to be a highschool senior.  The rock just screamed highschool senior pic.

Joel striking a pose for me!  It took me 15 tries to get the lighting right

Apparently, if you walk around this entire pond holding hands with your friend-you'll be friends for life.  Joel and I skipped this tradition...we already know we'll be friends for life!!  Hope you had as good of a holiday weekend as we did!

My Little Family

Aren't they they cutest?  I love how fuzzy Maddie is in this pic.

I Want Them ALL!

Check out the bags my friend from church makes!! She's really good at sewing!  Barefoot Bags.

I Wish I Knew You Then!

Chicago Marathon, 2005

Last night after a long day at work, I noticed an old photo of me on our kitchen table.  I was gathering my race gear for the Chicago Marathon.  On the back Joel wrote "I wish I knew you then!"  Isn't Joel the sweetest?!    Anyway, here I am after 26.2 miles of running...(I tore a ligament in my foot at mile 19...hence the pain in my expression :)  Maybe if Joel had been in the picture then, I would've stretched after I ran or something healthy like that:)

All Time High!

Yesterday, Virginia REALLY is For Lovers!!,  received a record number of hits.  I am rather surprised,  since it was only about an Olan Mills picture of my parents and I.  I truly thought the photo of the family on the tree branch was much funnier!  The overwhelmingly positive response to the picture posts has thus caused me to think about adding picture posts to our blog more often.  Anybody have any funny pictures of Joel out there? I'd love to see them...and apparently so would the rest of the world!!
