Weekend Recap!

I know its been awhile since I've done any other kind of post besides my weekly updates so I decided to recap our weekend! We had a busy Saturday and a LaZy Sunday!

Daniel talked me into doing the Color Vibe 5k that came into town this past weekend with some friends and honestly I was dreading it! I just had no excitement for the thought of waking up early and walking/running through a bunch of colored cornstarch! I figured it'd be the typical 5k with a bunch of super in shape runners that makes you feel like a slow snail whale!!

 However, fortunately I was WRONG! I am really glad I participated and we had a GREAT time! Daniel even stayed with me and walked majority of it! It was so not what I expected and had tons of families participating with their little youngins (some of them were not happy towards the end! lol) I even ran into my OB doctor during the 5k! He mentioned that I probably was the only 7 months prego gal out there and said he was proud and it was good for me! WooHooo! Now lets see what he says about this past months weight gain next week! Ha!!

Once we finished the 5k we had to get our butts into gear and head to Tallahassee for the FSU vs Syracuse game!

We received tickets from one of the vendors at work at the last minute and I just couldn't pass them up! They were great seats and we had a great time!

(Love the creeper in the back!!) 

Daniel is a FSU graduate and still has some friends living in Tally so after the game we headed over to his best friend's house for some of the BEST homemade Chicken Alfredo I HAVE EVER HAD! OMG it was divine! Once we stuffed our bellies and hung out for a little bit we headed back home!

Sunday we slept in and missed Church, I was feeling the aftermath of all the extracurricular activity from Saturday (holy moley HIP pain!!!)  I felt like what I imagine a 110 yr old would feel like and did not move for hours! Eventually Daniel and I decided to go for a little stroll with Killer around the neighborhood to help with my soreness. Its amazing what movement will do for ya! We then headed to the cheapy movies to see Riddick which in my opinion was not all that great! The popcorn hit the spot though!

Next weekend hopefully will be home improvement weekend and we can start painting the house!!
