TIRED!

Boy. We had quite the weekend. Actually most of the photographed action was on Friday so we'll start there!

We had another farewell dinner for Josh's Battalion Commander. Mexican food. It was ok. We were required to bring a dessert. So we brought Josh's favorite dessert. :) Yes, that is a 13x9 pan of assorted M&M's. Peanut, Peanut Butter, Dark Chocolate, and Regular. :)


We left a few minutes early to head back to Platte City, pack our bags, and jump back in the car to drive to Lee's Summit. Josh and Todd ran 'Night Flight' a 5K (3.1 miles) road race, at night! We got there very early...but there was lots of time for pictures and stretching. ha ha ha ha. Liz and I had a great time chatting and people watching. All the runners had to wear a glo-bracelet since it was dark when they raced...both Todd and Josh's were pink. Very stunning.

The both ran great! Josh finished 20th overall with a time of 20:30 and Todd finished right at 24:00 minutes. DANG! Liz and I had fun cheering. We walked down the course a big to where we would be able to see them twice. Apparently not many runner brought a fan club cause we were alone out there except for the event staff. Well, we're just hanging out waiting for the racers to get to us, and we hear the two staff people talking. "Here they come, now where's that bald guy we thought would be out in front....oh there he is"....And here comes Josh. Ha ha ha ha. So, moral of the story is, if you're going to run in your Army PT's you'd better bring your A-game. BUT, even more so if you are a bald army man. You are expected to dominate. There was a cross-country team running...a whole flock of 140 pound tall guys in itty-bitty shorts, no shirts, and then Josh. :) I think I'll try to get him talked into those shorts for his next race. ha ha ha ha.

Then we waited for the awards ceremony which took FOREVER, it didn't happen till about 2 hours after the race, and........ Josh got 2nd in his age bracket! Apparently there was one 25 year old skinny kid...didn't look 25 to me. But hey, who am I to say someone doesn't look their age.

Then, Saturday morning, Todd and Liz left bright and early to go to the Phillies/Cardinals game in St. Louis. So Josh and I washed the car, played with Toby, and played Tiger Woods Golf on PS3. Then we went shopping and out to supper with Ashley and Mike. Then Sunday we played more golf, played with Toby, and when Todd and Liz got back, we grabbed some food and headed back to the Platte. We had a great time with Todd and Liz, talking all about their baby on the way!!! :) WHOO HOO!


What a fun weekend!
