Catch Up!

September already?? Time has certainly gotten away from us! To catch up on things...

*Reid started med school and received his white coat
*August was filled with visits to Fargo and friends visiting us
*Archer turned 1

I'm trying to get better at this blogging thing...I feel like mine is a sloppy mess...it's something to work on...:)

Inspired!

So of course once we moved out here one of the CUTEST baby boutiques opened in Fargo. It's called Pout.

Check it out here: www.poutbabyboutique.com

Kris Noonan is the owner and has done a great job. I finally was able to stop in last February and it's now a must-stop-at when I am home!
I just ordered 2 of the cutest backpacks for some friends and Kris and I got to chatting....another runner who may just be inspired to do a FULL!

Happy Running Kris!

Archers First Trip to South Dakota

On the way home from Fargo we made a few stops to see our family and have a few "firsts"!

First taste of ice cream with Aunt Darcey!

First 4-wheeler ride with dad!

(Yes, in his new Samuri costume from Lincon!)

First time hanging out with the Wisers!

(And got the official hand-me-down of the Samuri costume!)

Glory Days

About a year ago I swore I'd never go to my 10 year high school reunion. Then, little by little I changed my mind and finally 2 days before the festivites I decided to go. So we packed up the Saturn and headed out Thursday night for the 14 hour car ride to Fargo. Archer slept most of the ride and did not fuss once until about an hour from Fargo! YAY!

Friday night we headed out for a cocktail hour with the classmates...what a riot! So funny how it had been 10 years but how everyone was still so happy to see eachother and catch up!

Saturday we had a little picnic with the kids then went over to Heidi's for some appetizers before heading to the dinner. Saturday night was filled with lots of laughs as we looked through old year books, and a ton of dancing!

It was like nothing had changed between alot of us...it was like we picked up where we left off. Isn't that the way old friends should always be?

T-16 Weeks...

Marathong Training Round 2 started yesterday. Although, I decided after celebrating my 10 year reunion all weekend, I'd take yesterday off. Oh well...it was a rest/x-training day. So today started my 16 week training for the Denver Rock and Roll Marathon. I had a 5 mile run tonight...should have been a fairly easy run...ha! Certainly was NOT especially after the weekend I had just had AND the 85 degree weather with no wind forgiveness at 6:30pm! But I did it and am ready to jump back into it all!

Father's Day Weekend

Happy Fathers Day Big Daddy!

Thank you for all you have done for us and given to us!

XOXO-K and A

Reid's parents visited us from South Dakota this weekend!

Hands down the best time I've had with them. We didn't do anything spectaular, it was just nice enjoying their company!

Reid took his dad to Mt Evans on Sunday. It is the highest paved road in North American...over 14000 ft.

Janet and I took Archer with us and shopped til we dropped! Always a good time!

To start the day...

Every morning my inbox has an inspiring quote from Runners World...

I run because it's my passion, and not just a sport. Every time I walk out the door, I know why I'm going where I'm going and I'm already focused on that special place where I find my peace and solitude. Running, to me, is more than just a physical exercise... it's a consistent reward for victory!
