Emily's wedding...it only took 11 years...

So the Pictures are a little backwards and mixed up, for some reason blogger is not letting me move them around this morning...

Emily was one of my teammates in College, her and I were the only 2 that made it through to the end together from our class . Her family is like my other family and Nate and I were so excited for her to finally get hitched. Emily and Eric have been dating for 10+ years so its about time!! :-) Plus, all my other MSU girls flew into town so it was a blast! Emily (the new Mrs Schubert) with Clay and Erin......

Who is preggers with TWINS :-) can't wait to meet them!

The one picture I think I have of Nate on the dance floor...

The Bride dancing her tail off... she did fall a few times too...blame it on the slippery flip flops!

Nikki and I

Not the best pic, but one of my few with Christie

Brooke, myself and the bride

Watch out SRHS....this is your coaching staff this fall...TROUBLE

Sean, Ian and Nate.... Nate kept calling Ian Ethan all night...haha then informed me that they both start with an E, that's why they are so confusing.... The hubby is always good for a laugh, gotta love him!

Fire Pit

Nate built a fabulous fire pit in the back yard. I am finally getting around to posting the pictures. It is finally nice out here too so we can actually use it! We have had the rainiest spring ever!

Here it is after taking the forms off, it still needs a skim coat of concrete but I am so excited for BBQ's this summer!

Bathroom Window shelves..

We have been slowly working on small things around the house...the list never ends! Nate built me 2 shelves to put up along the window mullions in the bathroom so that I could finally put out some of my blue/green glass bottle collection. I also added a couple of succulents and some shells I have picked up in my travels. I am SO ready for a beach house, can't you tell??

Roller Derby!

Emily, Amanda and I went to the roller Derby! It was pretty fun to watch, it probably would have helped if we knew the rules though. Someone finally explained how you score points etc which made it more fun. Up to that point we were sort of just cheering when everyone else around us was :-)

BMO Vancouver Marathon

2010 National Breast Cancer Marathon

The 26.2 With Donna

Jacksonville Florida

February 21st, 2010 These boards where there for everyone to sign or put a message on. They had them along the course as well and then they are going to blow parts of them up to make Billboards to advertise the race for next year.

It was FREEZING at 530am before the sun came up.

Still looking a little sleepy and jet lagged in this picture..

Our shirts had a picture of Randie in her pink wig and read: "Running for Randie's Ta Ta's!"

Some of my other favorite shirts people had were ones that read "Saving 2nd Base" or there was a marathon relay team called the "Rack Pack". I thought those were pretty good :-)


We were lining up here for the start. The sun was just coming up so we were starting to thaw out..

It was really amazing to see how many people were running for someone they loved. People had costumes, tutu's, guys wore pink running skirts...one guy even ran the whole way with these huge pink angel wings attached to him.

After finishing....

It was a beautiful race, we ran along the hard packed beach for a few miles and then through these amazing old plantation neighborhoods which were nice and shady. The spectators were amazing, dressing their houses up, bands playing, setting up extra water and orange slice stations... Then the last 7 or 8 miles were along the freeway back to the Mayo Clinic with no shade and it was HOT! I thought I was going to melt into the pavement. I guess we forgot to put sunscreen on too...We ended up with some great farmers tans/sunburns..ha!

Post race, off to find our free beers!!

ahhhh....found them....

Nate's Post race Nap :-)
