O!!!!

Last Wednesday I took a day off work(yes it was a personal day!) to go with my three best NWI friends, Bridgette, Hilary & Vicky to see Oprah. talk about fun!

The day started out with a 7:30 alarm instead of a 6:00(yippee), then a trip to Starbucks to pick up everyone's special request followed by a road trip to the city with Vicky as the DJ(it felt like we were back in High School!!). We had MANY 'clothes' conversations leading up to this day so it was a success in itself that we made it out of the house and to the city! The day was full of lots of laughs, stories, a Oprah show and TONS OF Oprah crazies! What is an Oprah crazy you might ask...well how about the crazy lady that was sitting in front of us that kept yelling and waving at her like they were best friends, or the crazy lady that sat beside me that agreed VERY LOUDLY with everything she had to say, or the crazy lady that tried to walk back behind the set after the show was over or last but not least the crazy lady that was popping pills before the show and ran to push everyone over when her seat number was called.... those are Oprah Crazies and we saw plenty of them!
The show was not the best topic(it was Peter Walsh- the de-cluter guy) but it was still lots of fun and we finished off the night with a stop to get Garretts popcorn!
As we drove home we all decided that we really think we could handle more of those days- sure was fun.

here is Hilary....she was doing her 'mom stuff' in the car! What a tropper.


I am so very thankful for such wonderful friends!


On Saturday I told you we, along with mom, gavin and katy went to the Pacers/Celtics game. Nathan has never been to a NBA game is it was really cool to see his excitment too. We had a BLAST! 14th row, center court... as we walked on the floor to our seats I was in such awe that I looked like a little kid on Christmas morning. I was sooo excited I didn't know what to say. Those guys are HUGE! I didn't take my camera but got a shot from my phone. Pacers pulled an upset so it was a very exciting game.


As for this week- well my mom has been here(YIPPEEE) and Nathan had to travel on business(booo). Tonight is the first night we have had home together in a while so it will be nice to enjoy dinner and maybe catch a bball game or two. Thanksgiving break is just a few days away and I couldnt be more excited. I have already started the Christmas music and have slowly been getting a few decorations out at a time. I can't wait!!!!!
Last but not least the running has started again. After about a month off(I was really burnt out) I am ready to get started again. We registered for the Indy Mini on Sunday night so...let the training begin. I have tvoed(sp?) a few new shows to help start the process again. :)
gotta get a run in before Nathan gets home- I sure like saying that. I can not imagine what it like to have a husband that travels all the time. Another great blessing that we have together.
