A great way to spend St. Patrick's Day with great friends, beautiful weather and good Irish food at the end of the race.

The Roaring '20's

A 1920's Murder Mystery was how we spent our twin friends 40th birthday! SOOOO FUN!

40 for 40 (a friends running journey)

A friend and running buddy of mine turned 40 on Saturday, and to celebrate she ran 40 miles (yes, you read that correctly...40 miles in one day)!  The neatest part of her journey was that her husband had arranged all her friends, coworkers and family to run different mile markers with her to celebrate. 
Thank you Elizabeth for sharing your special day with so many and continuing to be a running inspiration to me!

School Valentines

(and pictured here is Piper trying them out).

Weekday Ski Trip

Sometimes a fun day trip up to the mountain with a girlfriend is warranted!

Communion Dress Shopping

without much success...the hunt continues.

This weekend was spent at Great Wolf Lodge with some great friends for Paige's birthday!
