So many things are happening! I haven't had a chance to really sit down and write down some thoughts. Yesterday Tara and I ran the John "Bad Dog" McCormack 5K! This race went through downtown and finished on Beale Street. Tara has never ran a 5K before so it was sooo much fun to do this with her. We have been running consistently for the last couple of months and she has been on fire! We have been running/working out every day after work. I'm so proud of us. This is the fastest 5K we have ever ran. The best part is that we left with medals! I got 2nd place in my age group and she got 3rd for hers. How awesome are we? No, really. We are sooooo happy.
But the best part of the day was when we were reaching the finish line and gave each other the best high five. The reason for this is because EVERY SINGLE TIME that we did a high five during our runs we would NEVER get it right. Talk about awkward high fives.
Also, I have finally finished paying off my school loans! Can I get a woop woop???? I always hear about people talking about paying off their loans 20+ years after they graduated. I'm glad though that I was able to make this a priority in my life during this time so early after graduating. DEBT FREEEEEEEEEEEE.
And we finally bought our very own washer and dryer! I never knew how wonderful this concept would be. Gone are the days of hauling my clothes across our complex. Gone are the days of making special trips to the grocery store to get quarters. Gone are the days of devoting TIME to do our laundry. Now, all I do is pop it in the washer ANY night of the week (not just the weekend) and TA DAH! Clean clothes! I'm in heaven, what a wonderful idea.
These next few weeks are going to be extremely busy for us. We are looking for new place to live. J will be working 12 hour shifts every S I N G L E day for the next 6-8 weeks. I guess we will just need to take it one day at a time. Bless it.
