early mother's day gift

I officially am the proud owner of a firepit! I never knew I wanted or needed a firepit until I moved up here to Canada. We had such a great weekend with our neighbors and family over Saturday night drinking sangria by the fire. Michael and Uncle Julius managed to polish off not 1 but 2 Heinekegs. It was quite the feat. The kids played for hours with their best friends, Kenzie and Parker and not once had any fights. I was a good mommy and went to bed relatively early so that I could wake up for my run in the morning. It was awesome! I ran/walked my 5K and then went on to walk another 2K. In American terms, that's a bit over 4 miles. Did I mention I'm training for a 10K at the end of the month? Well, I am. Me, the woman who used to only run when being chased, is officially a runner. I feel stronger just saying it! Michael and the boys have promised to be there on the day of the race at the finish line taking pictures of me and Aunt Kathy. Go us!
