We did it!

Good news! I got 700th place!!!! I'm not kidding.
I am quite impressed that the four of us lovely ladies ran the whole 10k. I was only up to 4 miles before the race, but I somehow mustered up the capacity to run the whole thing. I'm sure that it was a lot easier with the gorgeous view of the ocean and chatting with friends.
After the race, we headed to Melissa's beautiful house which over looks the ocean. We celebrated with some mimosas and yummy yogurt. We kept talking about how we cannot wait to do out next race, so hopefully we'll find another one soon (Bay to Breakers is just around the corner).

Later that day, we headed to downtown Santa Cruz to do some shopping and grab lunch.

All in all it was way more than I could have ever asked for. Thanks for hosting Melis!

Skips

'Tis the season for outside dinners. I love that the weather is getting warmer and we can head to Skips with friends for a fun dinner out. The weather was perfect last night, so we had a blast watching the McGee and Willis kids run around and play on the jungle gym. Cheryl, Ellie, Paris, me

Ellie is such a model baby. Everytime the camera was in her face, she would put on a huge smile; too cute!

Cooking Club

Well, last night was a big night for cooking club.
In a nutshell:
I did slim to no chopping, cutting or cooking. We went on a wine run. We ate some yummy chicken curry. We had a candle passing. There were tears. I got home a little after midnight (a cooking club first for me).

I believe that we need to change our name to wine club.

CHEERS!

Santa Cruz 10K

Well, this sounded like a great idea in January when I was setting all of my New Year's resolutions. Unfortunately, it does not seem like such a grand idea any more.

I know that some people are born to be runners, or at least have the body stature to run with ease. The truth of the matter is that most of these people are not 5' 2" and that's pushing it for me.

My first 10k is this Sunday. I'll let you know how it goes... Wish me luck!!

Happy Easter!

From our family to yours!
