Run, Forrest, Run
Monica ran in the Shamrock Half Marathon yesterday and boy, is she sore today. I can’t imagine running 13.1 miles, but her friend Krystyn and her managed to do it in slightly less than two and a half hours. It was a bright and early start as we had to be there at 6 am,…

47 Days and 13.1 Miles
47 days. That’s all I have left to go in nursing school and I can’t wait to be done. I have been going to school full-time for 3 years now and I can almost see the end. This last semester is harder than I expected and time management has been an issue but hopefully I…

This and that
Things have been moving pretty quickly since the beginning of the year. It was really difficult getting back into the swing of things at work – very tough when you’ve been off a week and a half. I really enjoyed our time off, so it made it that much worse to have to go back…

We were walking through the lobby when we saw a woman holding alot of bags waiting for an elevator. Monica: “Isn’t that…” Me: “Sissy Spacek?” It totally was. I haven’t seen too…

Sharing their special day as well as spending the weekend with old friends was a true pleasure. The weather was…

So much to say
So, yes, it’s been awhile since I posted on here. Not sure why, but I just haven’t felt like writing anything. Sometimes I used to feel like I had to write these mini-essays about whatever was on my mind, and at times I wrote some really stupid stuff just because I thought I had to.…

We spent yesterday with friends in Charlottesville (Hi, Samples!), and ended up staying the night with some friends in Richmond (Hi, Steve and Tanya!). Congrats to Jeff and Jen on their new baby boy, Jeffery Connor.…

Turtles and Sharks and Horseshoe Crabs, Oh My
We went to the Virginia Marine Science Museum today with our friend Laura who is visiting us for the weekend. We saw lots of turtles, sharks, various fish, and other sea life. We even got to touch some sting rays and a horseshoe crab. Nothing like some good ol’ fashioned museum fun, with some learnin’…

Hot Tubbin’ in the Burg
This past weekend was Fall Alumni Weekend for the fraternity, and we had a blast. Went down early on Thursday night, then got up Friday morning to check out the downtown area and eat some lunch at one of the old hangouts. It’s really changed since I graduated. The highlight of the afternoon was seeing…
