instaweekend love...

the weekend started off with...
a lunch date with little julianna and her mommy joana
over pad thai noodles at a local thai restaurant.
soccer, soccer, and more soccer....
over a weekend long soccer tournament....
there were lots of bonding time between the girls
over down time during lunch and dinner...
the girls did a fantastic job
and won 3 out of 4 games coming in 2nd place overall!
they really could have won first place but there were 3 girls missing
causing the team to have NO subs and after
playing two games the night before and a game early in the 
morning....
they really needed sub time.
but oh, well.  
it is what it is and 2nd place is still a great win!
dinner was over at fuddruckers and this guy ted...
feasted on this oh, so yummy humongous whopper size of a burger
and yes, he finished it!
and the weekend ended with 
my long run with meagan at the local YMCA track...
which started at dusk....
and ended in the dark.
what did your weekend start and end with?

have a fantabulous week friends!

instaweekend love....

 it's been a while since my last post but life has just
been super busy!
i have definitely fallen behind in posting family milestones
and i hope to get some extra time soon to catch up!

anyhoo....
last friday i had a very chill and quiet evening.
 i probably should have been catching up on blogging
but i ended up spending the night
 playing "draw something"
(a drawing app on my iphone)
with meagan, maddie and family from the west coast.
it's the new craze for smart phone users and it's pretty fun!
try it if you haven't!
 saturday morning i got my run on at the greenway.
what started off to be a run for 6 miles
ended up to be 8 miles.
it was a great but hard run towards the end.
i didn't have any music on...
i just spent quality time lifting up prayers,
chatting with God, listening to the birds chirp and to 
the sounds of my footsteps.
 saturday evening we enjoyed mexican food for dinner....
 shopping with my girls on sunday....
 and enjoyed a taro smoothie with boba whilst perusing the mall!
ending the weekend with our wonderful lifegroup sunday evening.

hope y'all are having a great week and thanks
for stopping by even when i've been M.I.A.!

1/2 marathon time & girl scout cookies...

                                                                              Source: google.com via Alely on Pinterest


in all of my excitment of finishing my first half marathon
i forgot to mention our finishing time
in my last post.
the goal for this race was to finish
and that we did.
the clock time as you can see from the blurry
picture below
2:49
(2 hours and 49 minutes)


but because we were in corral c...
we had about a 15 minute late start 
since wheelchairs, a and b corrals started before us.
our official chip time was:
2:35
(2 hours and 35 minutes)

i kinda wanted to get in at 2:30 
but i'll take what i got cause we finished!
there's me after running through the castle!
(pics a lot on the blurry side but you get it right?)

on another note...
our girl scout cookies have arrived all the way from california!
yes, i do know we can get them here locally 
but i had to support my god daughter!
she's a daisy scout!

we hope to make all 9 boxes last a while!
happy weekend friends!
