Night Running...and Catching Up

First things first, I know I was MIA. I would apologize, but I know it will happen again because life happens and then I'm just silly saying sorry 50 times. So anyway, I'm back.

I'll catch you up on the past couple of weeks with some pictures, but first, I'd like to mention something magical that I experienced last night! Night running! My mom and I make a habit of running most Monday and Wednesdays after work on the greenway close to her house. It's flat, safe, filled with friendly faces and easy to mark distance. But now it's dark out at 5:30 and there are no lights on the greenway, so we've decided to run through the neighborhood. Mom got us some reflective gear, so we are looking super sporty.

We strapped these babies are on our arms and went out for a two mile run. I was a little nervous. I hadn't run in over a week (my best friend was in town) and I was nervous about the dark and not having perfectly marked and flat trails ahead. But it was AWESOME. Somehow the new route energized me and it was a great run. I hadn't had one of those runs that makes you remember that you actually like running in a long time and I had that last night and it was amazing.

Ok. Now some catch up pics! This is gonna be lengthy, so grab a coffee and relax.

Always dressing. Never stuffing. 

I don't know why this makes me laugh so hard.

Delish local beer. I'm not big on pumpkiny/fall flavors (I know, please don't shoot me), but this was awesome.

I needed this today. Perfect.

Tip: After painting, just throw the brush away, don't try to clean it. I would much rather spend $4.00 on a new one than scrub away half of my skin and still have my nails look like this.

What's new with y'all?!
