Weekend Update

Wow—what a wonderful weekend it has been so far, and it’s only Saturday night. I know my friends and family are getting DRENCHED in the south, but September is apparently THE TIME to be in New England. Each day has been more beautiful than the day before. Today has not been the exception! It is just gorgeous.

Nothing sends my spirits soaring like awesome weather, family and FOOTBALL!!

This morning my sister-in-law, Kate, and I went to the Crossfit gym and participated in a fundraiser for the Wounded Warriors Project. We both did the notorious “Fight Gone Bad,” which we ROCKED!! It only takes 18 minutes to complete, but as we said IT IS THE LONGEST 18 MINUTES OF MY LIFE! (Except for maybe labor, but close!) It was awesome to have Kate’s support during the work out, as she was my official counter and motivator! Jillian Michaels–watch out!!

While I was working out, Jackson had a play date with Nana, my mother-in-law. Of course he was treated like royalty and he couldn’t stop smiling the entire time he was with her. When I left, I off-handedly suggested that she teach Jackson to crawl and walk while we were gone. She took this to heart and he was crawling a couple inches when we returned. Can you believe it?!

This afternoon, I have been tidying up to get ready for the University of Louisville/Utah game. Have I told you that I am a HUGE U. of L. fan? Just you wait for basketball season!!
