Twin Cities Marathon 2008

After celebrating our friends marriages the night before we went to cheer for Chuck run his second 26.2 mile journey!! The Twin Cities Marathon...the most beautiful urban marathon in the world! Baby Meyers wore her special shirt for him too! Sadly, my dad could not run it this year. It was a very hard decision to make, but with the pain he has been having for over a year in his achilles tendons, it was probably the wisest, best way to go. Once he is done with his therapy, I know he has another marathon in him!
GO CHUCK GO!!! It was a very rainy cold run but he did so well!! He finished in 3 hours 36 minutes! We went to Chili's afterwards to celebrate with some burgers, then we took about a 3 hour nap!!

30 Weeks Preggo and Two Weddings...what a night!

After 4 and a half years Katie Ream and Paul Riddell tied the knot!! It was a beautiful day and a beautiful outdoor wedding at the Outing Lodge Bed and Breakfast in Stillwater, MN. Now, this picture was turned the right way when I picked it out so I don't know what happened to it on the way to blogger but oh well!
Here is the pregnant bridesmaid Amy and her wonderful hubby Chris! Thanks Ashley for doing my hair! After the ceremony we had appetizers in the cabinlike reception hall and watched the newlyweds' first dance and the father daughter dance.
We couldn't stay all night though because we had another friends wedding to get to! Megan and Pat also got married October 4th, 2008. Their ceremony and reception was on Summit Ave. in St. Paul at the Germanic Institute. To end the night the newlyweds performed Wild Thing together with Megs dads and a friend of the couple. It was a blast!
Okay so this picture should have been with Katie's wedding...here is Lorissa, Katie(the bride) and Amy...friends since 7th grade!
More friends since 7th grade dancing the night away...Aliya, Melissa, Megs (the bride) and me!

CONGRATULATIONS to the happy couples!!

31 Weeks!

















Here we are at 31 weeks!! I am in love with these new maternity jeans! I am still feeling great and getting more and more excited to meet this little lady. We have finally set up some childbirth classes which will start this week. Chris and I went to Chuck's this past weekend where Chris successfully painted the changing table! YAY! So that is up in our nursery. The crib needs one more coat of paint and we need to find a dresser and we will be on the way to having a complete nursery! With three showers coming up we will get lots of other goodies to fill the nursery with too.
