11 is my lucky number – so this date is the greatest in my mind.
This past weekend I got to spend at home with my family. I had to be in Peoria for work Monday and Tuesday so I flew in Friday night and my parents drove down and picked me up. Overall it was a great weekend starting with Avanti’s for dinner Friday night. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Avanti’s. Anyone who went to Bradley or ISU knows what I am talking about. We used to get it almost every Tuesday for dinner.
Saturday I did some shopping with Mama Fritz then spent the rest of the day with my sister and her family. We took Kyla to a Bouncing Bonkers (with all the inflatable bounce houses). She absolutely loved it. And we were able to go through them with her. She wore me out, but then she helped make my bed and snuggled for awhile, so it was worth it.
Sunday morning got up to run my first ever 8k. Automatic PR – Score!!! The weather was as good as I could ask for in November in Illinois, but I was still freezing. And the wind was only making things worse. Overall I had a great race, finishing several minutes sooner than expected (esp considering the wind). I think I was cold and knew there were bloody mary’s and beer at the end. Any reason to drink at 8 AM is a good reason to run. Finally it was a girl’s breakfast afterwards with my cousin Nicole, cousin Margie, adopted cousin Jamie, my sister and Kyla.
Finished the day watching da Bears dominate the Lions at my sister’s house. My parents and grandparents both came over, so I got to spend some quality time with them.
Can't think of a better way to spend a weekend!
