HAPPY EASTER!

Happy Easter everyone! I hope you all have had a wonderful day.

We are having a great restful drizzly day, here in the Little Apple! We are getting a nice steady rain today! I keep thinking of all the folks that have family in or the little girls in the Easter dresses! However, the rain is wonderful!
Arturo had to go out and check babies this morning and they had six this morning! Six little Easter babies! I stayed here and did my normal Sunday morning stuff, balance our checkbook, pay bills and start laundry. We also made it to the 11:00 Mass at our church this morning. It was a nice service with BEAUTIFUL music. This afternoon Arturo has been watching baseball and I have been working on Accounting I homework. Arturo is cooking us the best smelling pork loin for dinner and my contribution is the corn bread and deviled eggs. You just can not have Easter without deviled eggs.

Well, I have made the leap and registered for my first FULL MARATHON. Can you believe it, I am going to run 26.2 miles on October 17th. Me...the one that made manager for the 8th grade basketball team, the girl that always got picked last. The one that would have been voted most nonathletic in school if that would have been a category. Yes, me...I am going to do it! My training will begin the first week of June, however I am going to continue running my average 12 miles during the work week and then do a longer run on the weekend such as 6-10 miles. Yesterday, I ran 6.67 miles and next weekend I am going to try for 7 and then keep working up until I get to 10 miles, before I start training. I think that this will give me a good base to start training. It is going to be an interesting ride...I plan to keep you all posted on my runs and how I am doing on my training program. So if you care stay tuned!


I am still knitting and still working on Arturo's sweater vest. It is taking FOREVER! It is going to be great once it is all done. I am ready for it to be done, so he will have it, but mainly so I can move on to the next project.

Here is the back of the sweater



And this is the beginning of the front...I still have a long way to go!
We hope you all have a wonderful blessed Easter Day!
LOVE YOU ALL!

Couple of things:
I definitely watched a lot of little girls run through the rain on Easter in their dresses.
I went to the United Methodist church on Pointz for Easter and the had K-State brass and the bell choir playing it was awesome.
And three I love sweater vests! That is so awesome that you are making one. I love the color and it looks like it is going to turn out great!
Hope you have a good week!
