Saturday morning we spent hours at a wholesale nursury doing some tree, shrub and plant shopping for our yard. Not exactly exciting, but we got some good ideas and learned a lot! Won't this grafted peashrub look nice in our yard? And who even knew such a thing existed?? The rest of the day was spent running errands and visiting with friends.
Sunday was a big day...beginning with a 4 a.m. wakeup! We headed downtown for Jeff's 1/2 marathon which started at 6:00-crazy. Anyway, I dropped him off at the start and went to see him at mile 5 1/2. Unfortunately, he was so 'in the zone' that he didn't even see/hear me yelling his name! I mean, you can hardly miss me these days; but to his defense, I wasn't planning to cheer him on until the finish so he wasn't watching for me either. Nicole, Rocco and I walked to the finish to see this: Jeff finishing his first 1/2 marathon in 1:40:45! Awesome.
Joe finishing his full marathon in 3:07! Awesome.

After bagels and fruit in the warm sun at Joe and Nicole's house, Jeff got to enjoy a beer on the newly finished patio! Finally, some enjoyment after all the hard work he put into it. And, to top off the weekend we had friends over for dinner on Sunday night-more relaxing on the patio.
This week it's back to the doctor, more dinners with friends and hopefully we'll be finalizing our landscaping plan with the designer. As you can tell, I'm still feeling good. By staying this busy, the time goes fast-only two more weeks of work left!
