I ran in a half marathon in downtown Kansas City! It was probably one of the hardest courses I've ever ran, but I was able to finish under my goal time. 1:57:48!
Here are my fellow runner friends: Jaclyn, Lindsey, me and Kelly! Everyone did so great!The same weekend of my race, Jeff got to go to his own kind of race... Nascar that is! I surprised him with a trip to go visit his college roommate Brett and go to a Nascar race in Charlotte, NC!
Here's a picture of their tailgate before the race!
Here are the cars! They are going so fast that you can't even get a clear picture. :)
We took a little day trip to Weston, Missouri, just north of Kansas City. It's a fun little town with a lot of history! We ate at an Irish-style restaurant and then got to walk around and explore!
Our parent's would be proud...we took our a little time for a little history lesson: Weston was the boyhood home of Buffalo Bill.
Aww... look who it is? A picture break as we walked around the town.
Before we headed home, we made a stop off at Weston State Park and scouted it out for a possible camping trip next summer.
Sadly, we also had to say bon voyage to our friend Stauffer! He shipped out to Enid, OK in November to start pilot training! Here's a little family picture with Stauffer in the middle.
Just the boys. Jeff, Stauffer and Mike.
Oh, and we got to see Mizzou beat kU with a group of friends! Always a good time!
We also had the honor of celebrating my grandma's 80th birthday with her in St. Louis. Such a fun time!
While we were there, we took advantage of the beautiful weather and went and saw our "engagement" spot! Almost 2 years ago...
And look how far we've come...about to celebrate our 1st anniversary!It's been quite a year... thanks 2009 for all the fun times. Here's to a great 2010!
Until next time from Kansas,
