Happy Birthday, Mom!

As we are all celebrating Memorial Day today, my family is also celebrating a very important birthday today... my Mom. (And roommate). Brad and I met my mom, Morgan, and Tabby at Joe's Crab Shack. The staff sang to my mom and Brad was forced to wear a bib while eating a large portion of crab legs. I actually think I still have pieces of crab in my hair from him breaking the crab open in search for the meat inside. It was very entertaining. Poor Brad had to spend the rest of the afternoon stuck in the corner of his apartment studying for his boards.

Happy Birthday, Mom! Thank you for everything you do. I am so fortunate to have a roommate who laughs at my jokes, helps me with my homework, pays my rent... even if I am going on 25 years old this year. Now, that's LOVE!

This week I'm prepping for the Dam to Dam which is in T-4 days! Last Thursday I ran 10.5 miles. Felt great. I'm ready to go. Ready to rock. Ready to run. Can't wait! The down part (aside from the 12.something miles I have to run Saturday morning) is the race starts at 7am. Which means I have to get up at, like, 5:30am. Seriously. And I'm also celebrating Brad's 26th birthday in Kansas City Saturday night... it's going to be quite the weekend! I'm looking forward to it!

I can't sign off without leaving a few pictures from this Memorial Weekend at my home base. Just so you guys can fall in love with my adorable little niece as much as I have the past 5 months!
