Recovery Sunday

You'd think I'd be recovering from a long run that was supposed to take place this morning, but no. I refused to get up and do my 14 miler when my bed was so very comfy...it'll take place Wednesday now...hopefully :)

Friday afternoon Matt got home at 4:30ish and we finally made it out the door around 5:45 to head to Ridgeland for all the birthday celebrations. The birthdays for September are Darin, Mr. Hal, Conner, Matt, and Brandi, so doing them together made it super easy. Conneris really into Batman and Superman right now, so the party was superhero themed. Conner LOVED opening his gifts and was so very excited for every gift. Kids are so fun! We had pizza and cake with ice cream...all was delicious. We stayed and chatted and played with toys until 9ish before we headed home to crash.

Yesterday morning we awoke to Matt's phone ringing...two minutes before my alarm was set to go off. Yale was calling to see if Matt wanted to take Macie to do something or other with birds. So he took off for that and I did my 4.25 mile run (at a fairly decent pace). Then I rushed around/sat and read my book while I was supposed to be getting ready for Megan's baby shower brunch...though I was actually the first to arrive! Very unlike me these days. Brunch was at the Cottage and they did not disappoint; breakfast was yummy. 

After brunch time, I came home and read a little more, washed a load of clothes, and unloaded the dishwasher. I picked up some nuggets from chick-fil-a for the kids and boys, picked up BBQ from Bluffton BBQ, then picked up Megan before heading back up to Ridgeland for Molly and Craig's shower for Miss Emily. I'm running out of words that describe delicious foods, so I'll keep using it...the appetizers the girls had prepared were flipping delicious. I enjoyed a few too many, plus the BBQ at halftime. Ah yes, halftime. We watched the UGA v USC game together...4 Georgia fans against many a South Carolina fans- it was intense and I loved every minute of it. Matt and I were planning on staying the night, but since the game was over at a decent hour, we took off for home. Probably why we slept so good and long, since we were in our own bed.

Today has been sleep, Belgium waffles, church, grocery shopping, lunch, relaxing, cleaning, the gun range (high anxiety for me- I'm terrified of guns), and ice cream and wine for dinner. I'm ready for the work week! 

Above are my last 5 shots...Matt says I'm not too bad.
