BUSY

Sunday is the half marathon with my sister Jamie. For those that don't know, Jamie was a Marine and a cross country runner in high school. She is a badass and is talking a big game about not being prepared but she will probably smoke me. (And look fabulous doing it.) It says a lot that I went out and purchased new clothes to look cute during my run.

And I just found out this week they have BEER at the finish line. If I ever wanted a reason to run for over two hours, I just found it.

And this weekend we're going to have family pictures taken by none other than Shealynn B!

And the best part of the entire trip is the boys are bringing their own carry ons. No more pack muleing it on flights! This is HUGE!

(Check twitter and facebook for pictures and results.)

Good luck with the half marathon. You are going to kick ass! If you can't beat your sister at the race, give her a run for her money on the beer.

Give Jenfen a hug for me.

You are going to rock that half! I hope we get to see a pic!

All the best!

"Break a leg" is not appropriate, is it?

How about, "Kick some ass!" I'm proud to know you.

Our girls pack their own bags with enough stuff and snacks to keep them busy for a while. It's awesome once that independence kicks in.

Good luck on your 1/2 marathon!

J had his own pull-suitcase carry-on for our last plane trip at Thanksgiving and it was awesome. He got a kick out of putting his own stuff through security and packing his own bag with random stuff (toys, books, a pez dispenser LOL).
