T-Rex Ninja!

I couldn't help but share this today.. mainly because as I push onward in the garish path that is marathon training [on purpose, I know... ], I could use some motivation.

And a good laugh. Ali, there is still hope for us!

Oh, and just because I went to high school with Amber, I thought I'd share this because seriously, her journey is incredible, and I'm proud of her for her commitment to this. This was a while back, but it was certainly under-celebrated. Now, if only I could dig up some archives of us singing together back at Chapel Hill.. haha.. 
Kacy Catanzaro may be getting much of the ANW glory [& rightly so, don't get me wrong!], it's the everyday people like Amber that really tug at the heartstrings for me. 
Anyway, I hope that inspires some of ya'll out there!

Laney's Birthday | Fearfest

There is nothing better for me than to wake up on a Friday to this:

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

^ And I just realized her pj pants read yolo. Good grief, really? *sigh.... oh well. In her case, we'll let that stand for, "you're only little once," and leave it at that. Anyway, with or without stupid phrases on her pants, this little girl made my entire day just by being there when I woke up.

And then.. I realized today is...

LANEY'S BIRTHDAY!!!!!

eeeeiiiii!!!! happy birthday, laney!!!!

I hate when I can't be around to celebrate my friends' birthdays with them.. but this gal knows I love her bunches and will absolutely make a cheers to it the next time we see each other [which, who knows when that will be.. she's in Oklahoma!] Happy, HAPPY... HAPPY birthday wishes, to you, L-Bug!! You deserve the best.. keep making those dreams a reality and being that example of how hard work PAYS OFF! So proud of this girl & can't wait to see her again soooon!

And thennnn.. after work - which let out a half hour early because my bosses are amazing - it was home for a quick change and then off to Mason for a night at King's Island's Fearfest with some of the other Express folks from the other offices.

We had a blaaaast. I am definitely glad I went.
