Time for an update

So, as of yesterday we have been married two months! While it is all very exciting, I have to admit that very little has changed.  In those two months we've laughed, loved, and ate a lot.  We have both been testing ourselves in the kitchen and have served each other under-cooked raw chicken. We've put away most of the wedding gifts, still no place to safely store the china. And for the most part I remember to use my new last name when asked.

 Now that I am back to work we are getting use to a routine again.  Unfortunately, we do not share the same days off each week. I have normal weekends, while Pete is off on Wednesday and Thursday. That kinda sucks, because my work schedule is pretty much the complete opposite of Pete's. I wake up on week days at 4:15 and I am out the door by 5, Pete doesn't have to be at work until 10 or 11. I get a break in the middle of the day and then work again from 1 to 4ish, Pete doesn't get home some nights until almost 10. Needless to say, some days we may only get a glimpse of each other as one of us is running out the door for work.  On nights that it is possible, we do try to sit down and have dinner together, but I usually go to bed right after.

In other news, I am very excited because next Saturday football season starts! Auburn has their first game next Saturday and I absolutely can't wait to watch it. I make no attempt to guess what this season will hold, but I will watch every game and will be wearing orange and navy every Saturday for the next few weeks. So, WAR DAMN EAGLE! Let the fun begin!

I have completely stopped running again, and I haven't been able to do another 5K. This really upsets me, but I have no one to blame but myself. I hope that once we are a few more weeks into the school year and I get better adjusted to my earlier work schedule I will find some energy and start running again. I also have been fighting a cold for the past week, the joys of working with children.

I hope everyone has a great weekend!

5k Results

The official results from my first 5k. I was just over 7 minutes behind the first place finisher.

I did it!

Well, it has been a busy week. Wednesday I started back to work. It was a day full of meetings. We also decided Wednesday night that Pete would go out of town for work, starting Friday. So, I decided to register for a 5k. On Friday morning I left for work at 5:20 and then at 8 Pete left to go out of town. He will be back this coming Wednesday, the first day of school. This is only his second business trip, and I'm still getting use to having a husband that travels. That is why I decided to do my first 5k this weekend.

So, this morning I woke up just a little later than I would on a work day and got ready for my race. It was a great experience! I ended up finishing in about 38 minutes. I am so proud of myself for finally doing this! I NEVER thought I would be able to complete a 5k, and now that I have I just want to keep going!

So, now I have a few more days until Pete comes home, and I'm still trying to get back in the swing of a work schedule. My schedule is a little different earlier than it was last year, so I'm guess that it will take me a few weeks to get use to things. I am happy to be back to work though, and to have a daily schedule.

Hope everyone has a wonderful week!
