here and there

Well, I would say the last few months have been good to us.  The Eli family was able to have a little ocean side get away for several days, fur kids and all.  Ocean Shores is always a blast.  This time it was especially fun due to it being the off season, and having the beach basically to ourselves!  The dogs wore themselves OUT running in the sand, chasing birds, splashing in water...and Drew and I got to do nothing but stroll and hang out with each other.  Such good time. 

I also ran my first 6k!!  It was the Seattle St. Patty's day dash.  This, I am very proud of.  I kind of started to pick up running again just because, and just to see if I could run the nearly 4 miles without walking at all.  I did, and it was a blast.  I suppose the Irish music and beer post run helped to motivate just a wee bit ;)  Speaking of Irish things and "wee" things, my wee little sister started her EUROPE trip in Dublin and has started her own blog of her travels!  http://europeaneringrace.blogspot.co.uk/  Love this girl, and so excited for her experience.

Annnnd now it's my work weekend.  Working Friday-Monday, 12 hours shifts.  Hope they fly by!  I suppose the perks of being a nurse are my 10 days off on a regular basis, but sometimes I wish I wasn't working on weekends when everyone else is off work ;)  That's alright, I love my job and Drew is always so wonderful on my work weekends, by packing my lunches, making breakfast, and letting me sleep until the last possible moment.  He's a sweetheart, did I mention I love him lots?
