Yet another busy weekend and I can tell you next weekend will be just as busy.

Friday night I did my long run so that I could get everything I needed to get done on Saturday and be rested for a 5K race on Sunday. However, I did not anticipate 85+ degrees on Friday or a thunderstorm that started while I was 5 miles from home.

Saturday I spent most of the morning running errands, cooking and baking for my sister’s 10th birthday party!

My family has had an outdoor cookout/ pig roast for 10 years now for my sisters birthday. This year it decided to rain 😦

Also this year we had chickens on the spit instead of roasting a pig 😦 I missed the roasted pig. Sadie was the pig from last year if you remember.

Bodhi of course made friends with the big dog.

Probably because my Mom’s dogs were ignoring him.

The kids were playing a game where they spun each other really tight on the swing and then let go.

Lisa was spun so tight that she was dizzy and fell off the swing and into a mud puddle and was sick for the rest of her party. (I’m pretty sure the same thing happened last year so maybe we’ll work on that whole getting wiser with age thing.)

I asked her to show me how old she was and this was all she could show me.

Don’t worry she rallied for cake and presents.

Sunday we raced the Stroll & Roll 5K, recap coming tomorrow but also my college friends all came to visit!

I love that I’ve stayed friends with them all since we graduated college. I’m also glad that the farthest ones is only 2 hours away. I don’t know what I would do without all of them. I still can’t believe that we are all married and some are having kids already.

Even Bodhi was wiped out after all the visitors. He actually fell asleep while playing with me.

How far do your college friends live?
