Last Sunday, I hosted a baby shower for a sweet couple at our church. C & L are expecting their first baby- a boy!- in early October, and I was honored to get to help put together a party to celebrate their new arrival!
The family owns a ranch and an outfitting company, so Baby Boy is already destined to be an outdoorsy, country boy! (Isn't that the best kind?)
We kept a "cowboy/western" theme for the shower, and had a great time. It was a little more stressful that I had anticipated, but it was worth it all to be able to honor this new family!
My 5K training has taken a detour - it seems that sore knee what was bothering me has been more of a (literal) pain than I anticipated and I've been doing my best to let it heal. This means no running- which completely derails my training schedule. I've traded running outside for time on an elliptical machine, which I know isn't the same at all. I'm hoping that my time on the elliptical and time spent doing low-impact leg routines will keep my momentum up until I can actually hit the pavement again. I have to admit, the fact that I didn't just 'give up' when this little injury occured is an accomplishment in itself!
I heard this cover of Mazzy Star's "Fade Into You" today, and I fell in love. I have loved this song forever, and tend to be a fan of anything Ben Harper does, so it was just the perfect combination!
Random fact about me: I LOVE cover songs. Especially when they have a nice twist to them or are in a completely different style than the original.
I also fell in love with this kid this week:
What a vocabulary!
This reaction just made me laugh over and over again. I really wish I could remember the moment when I found out I was going to be a big sister... I was seven and had been perfectly happy as the only child, so I'm sure I wasn't too thrilled with the news, either. ;)
Have a wonderful three-day weekend! I know I'm going to!
xoxo
