What on earth....

...was I thinking?! Larry has been a part of the Rodeo Run since he's worked for Conoco and he signed me up this year! Each year Larry tries to beat his previous time...so his goal this year was to complete the 10k in under 50 minutes. My goal was to cross the 5k finish line without EMS assistance. Well, we both succeeded! He finished the 10k in a whopping 47.40 minutes and I finished the 5k in 36 minutes. It felt great to finish my first run yesterday...but today...I wish the toilet seat was just a little higher. haha I'm hurtin' pretty good but it was worth it.

Driftwood cross

Leslie's mom was telling us about the crosses she was making and took us to a great bead store on Harwin St. Larry and I collected the pieces of driftwood down in Port O'Connor over Thanksgiving. I think I went overboard on the beads compared to Karen's but it was fun making them.

Bingo

We had so much fun playing bingo last night with the group! Larry was being grumpy bear though and wouldn't look up for a picture (to the right). I guess he was being shy.


But then he changed into his lucky Hawaiian shirt, won, and got really excited (below). Not sure why the camera put so many years on him.

The next Beckham??

It's not very often I get to watch Larry play soccer. But today was one of those days. Of course, since I don't know anything about soccer, I think he's the best player on the field. Look at those skills. At the very least, he's definitely the best looking :)

Valentine's Dinner

Valentine's dinner Saturday night with Les and Tim. Larry wants to mention the pineapple. They have delicious brown sugar glazed/grilled pineapple. Great food, great company!

Ruff day...

I may be a little bias but I really do think we have the two cutest dogs on the planet!!

Antique earrings

Not sure where I'll ever get to wear this or one other necklace, but they were fun to make. The left over earrings made for a cute framed display.

Sweetbuddies

Larry and Higgins just relaxing while watching t.v. We don't have the big screen yet but hopefully soon. It took several months for Larry to finally pick and order the one he wanted...waited another week only to receive a damaged t.v.! He swears I kicked the screen in, but I'm blaming the one man delivery service.

The Ladies' Man

Soooo cute!

Gotta love high school. Both of us were good little Catholic school students. Larry was probably making all A's though :)

I'm not sure on the age for these two pics. Maybe somewhere in the third-fifth grade area.

Through the years...

Rachel and Larry in Kindergarten. I think we would have made a cute little couple even way back when.

Oldie but goodie

This was one of my favorite projects. I saw a few similar magnets in an antique store and tried them out. Just stack a few antique buttons and glue to a magnet...pretty easy. It makes for a cute addition to any fridge or chalk board. Larry loves these little guys. :)

Larry and I went on an 8-9 mile bike ride through Hershey Park on Saturday. It was a great day to be outside. Somehow we got off the trail a bit and ended up dodging cars on Memorial. It was fun though. First exercise I've gotten in the past year! lol
