Fort4Fitness

Curt signed up for another Fort4Fitness race this year. This time though, he decided to try the 4 mile run instead of the half marathon he ran last year. Ben and I went along to cheer him on! We had to leave the house at 6:30 am, so it was a very early morning. Ben was surprisingly in a good mood even though I had to wake him up early. We had fun cheering for each runner that came into Parkview Field while we were watching for Curt near the finish line.

You can see Curt in the middle of the picture wearing a white t-shirt.

 He crossed the finish line somewhere in the big bunch of people. His time was 34:55.
 This is the area the runners went into right after they were done with the race to get their medal and some snacks. Curt is in the far right in the picture (wearing a white t-shirt).
 Great job, Curt! :)
After the race was done, we decided to get some hot chocolate. Ben and I were pretty chilly, so that sounded great to us! We headed to Dunkin' Donuts for our hot chocolate, donuts, and bagel.

All of this took place before 10:00! I think next Saturday we need to sleep in. :)

whew....he just made it past those 2 women. :) Great job, Curt. A leisurely run compared to a 1/2 marathon. Looks like fun. :)

Sadly, I ran next to that girl in the green tank top for the last mile and I thought I had her beat, but she sprinted past me right before the finish line!

Enjoying December

I'm glad we had time to make sugar cookies together. Christmastime does not seem complete without them. I frosted the cookies while Ben and Curt decorated.  Lots of sprinkles and chocolate chips!  Ben loved getting slippers and a robe with his "Christmas Eve" jammies. He does love to be cozy. We decided to move up our present opening a day early because we thought I might end up in the hospital on Christmas. But, today is the 27th and still no baby. So we were a bit off on that one.  Santa brought the Lewis Hamilton car that Ben had asked him for. He was very excited!  The new pirate ship has been a favorite. He has played with it a TON a last few days.  Ben also got a few more pirate dress-up things. I've heard "Aarg!" a lot lately. :)  My parents came yesterday for a visit since my dad has this week off of work. We're hoping that I'll have the baby while they are here, but I'm not sure that is going to happen since they head home tomorrow. Ben ...

The Big 3-0!

Today I turned 30 years old. I didn't think that it would make me feel old, but it kinda does. :) I had a wonderful birthday. Curt went out and got us donuts for breakfast. Then, I got to open my presents. He did a great job shopping and I love everything he picked out! For lunch we went out to Olive Garden and then stopped by the mall for a little while. We spent the rest of the afternoon relaxing at home. I hope this getting older doesn't mean that gray hairs are going to start showing up! While I got ready this morning, Curt got out his old car track. He hasn't used it in many years, so he wasn't sure if it would work. Ben loved watching the cars race around the track. We enjoyed eating lunch at Olive Garden. Ben was too interested in coloring to look up at the camera. I love cheesecake for my birthday and Curt made this one for me all by himself. It is a chocolate chip recipe that is one of my favorites. He only added one candle per decade...we didn't ...
