New Look

I am working on giving the blog a new look, I'm not sure if I'll stick with this or change it a bit. Hopefully once I get that all done I can get back on here and update more often. I've been really bad about it :o(

Bday Wishes

Today is my dad's birthday :o)

Happy Birthday Dad!!

2 months down 2 to go

This Saturday we did 15 miles! WOW!! I can't believe I cactually did it. Life has been a bit hectic and Olivia and I have only managed to do Track Wokouts on Tuesday and our long run on Saturday's but somehow we are doing it and feeling pretty okay. Phil and Sandra were out there with us as well this weekend and they too kicked butt. I am really proud of our little group.

I have to admit though that at 14 miles I wanted to quit but Phil would not allow it...THANKS PHIL!! I was tired and I was also having some knee/hip pain. I pushed through it though and it felt great to do it and be done.

:o) YAY US!

Reyes Family Reunion

Last weekend we were in Arizona for the Reyes Family Reunion. Why Arizona in July you ask? Well because the uncle hosting it lives out there. The family reunion rotates between Arizona, San Diego, Concord and Daly City. Next year we head to San Diego.

The family reunion is always on the 3rd weekend of July. Rocky's grandparents started this and now his parents and uncle's have kept it going and eventually the responsibility will be passed down to our generation.

We have a great time and it's nice to see the rest of the family we don't see often like the cousins in Oregon and Maryland. It's also very cool to see how close the little ones are. The nieces and nephews look forward to this all year and seeing everyone.

I've Fallen and I can't get up

Okay, I didn't fall under a tree but my poor car did. I arrived at work yesterday around 8:30 and my co-worker around 8:40, he said "um, you might want to go check out your car, it's stuck under a fallen branch" YIKES!!! The good news is that there was no damage to my car just a few scratches. The other good news is the branch fell after I had gotten out of my car or I really would have been stuck under it.

The property owner felt really bad so he took my car to get washed and polished til all the scratches were out. It looks pretty now :o)

Running is going okay. Our schedules have been a bit busy so Olivia and I have managed to do our track workouts on Tuesday and our Saturday run's. This weekend we have a 15 miler and I'm pretty nervous about it but I know we'll get it done. I can't believe we only have 2 months til our race.

Birthday Dinner Pics

I've been celebrating my birthday for a few weeks now :o) and one of the celebrations was my birthday dinner with some of our family and friends. We decided to have it at Petar's in Lafayette because there is a guy there, Diamond Dave, that we wanted to see. It wasn't til later in the night that we found out he was on vacation :o( but we still had a great time. Thanks to everyone who came out and thanks for all the b-day gifts :o) I had a great time.

Also THANK YOU to all my friends who have taken me out for individual dinners and will be taking me out :o) very sweet of you. I think I'll officially stop celebrating August 5th, haa, haa. One whole month of celebrating sounds good.

I think my mother-in-law took more pictures of the fun evening so I'll post those pictures when I get them form her.

Ensenada by Pictures

These aren't in the right order but blogger is too much of a pain and I don't feel like turning the pictures around from bottom to top :o(

Rocky, Olivia and I took a 3 day cruise from Long Beach to Ensenada on 4th of July/My B-day weekend and we had a blast. We also got to see my parents while waiting for our flight in Long Beach so that was nice also.
