Thursday night a couple of us kidnapped my friend Amber, blindfolded her, and took her bowling for a mommy’s last night out kinda thing. She’s due to have a sweet baby boy in just a couple of weeks. It was a lot of fun, minus the fact that my bowling score was like a 56. I did the worst out of about 10 girls. It was pretty embarrassing especially since I thought I would at least suck it up at an average rate. That didn’t happen. We all had names and I was Kaboom Kelso. It’s my new favorite nickname. Isn’t Amber such a cute pregnant lady?! I love it. There was about 4 pregnant girls that night. Maybe some of their baby magic will start rubbing off on me soon!

Tomorrow I’m going to start training to run the Mayfaire 5K in May. I know a 5K is only 3 miles but I’ve yet to be able to run 3 miles straight without having to stop. I’m going to try and stay consistent so in 2 months I will be able to run in with no problems. That’s the plan! I hope I stick with it. I’m good about making big plans and not following through with them. I truly dislike that about myself. My friend Anna is going to run it with me, so that should get my butt into gear. Knowing I’ll be running with someone who ran the Chicago Marathon is a little intimidating!

Saturday we rode our bikes to Barnett Park for Layla’s 2nd birthday party. She was an absolute doll! She was such a girly girl with her pink tutu and pink converse. It was the best! Ian and Heather have done a wonderful job raising such a sweet little thing. It was a beautiful day and we were glad to be outside. I love living so centrally located to things that we are able to ride our bikes. I wish we did more often.

Today was church and lunch with friends followed by a long nap and grilling some tuna steaks. Although I don’t actually “work” anymore, Sunday evenings are still a little sad. I love all the time I get to spend with Kevin on the weekends, then Monday comes and steals him away. Pity me, I know!
