a little crazy

Some people might seem to think that Nathan and I schedules are a little crazy. When I tell everyone at school what the plans are for the weekend they just start to laugh- I never think too much of it but after our Saturday I might agree(just a little).
 After a 4am wake-up call, work and track practice on Friday I raced home, packed my bags(that were still a little packed from last weekend), packed up my camera and all of the goodies, helped Nathan load up some boxes that needed to be taken down to my moms, grabbed some dinner and headed out the door. We got to his parents around 10, hung out with his dad for a while and hit the sack. We had another 4am wake-up call because I was schedule to be at Purdue at 6:45 to take pictures for a benefit race that the Caner Research Center. It was awesome! Have I mentioned the I LOVE photography..well if not... I LOVE IT!! This was something that I had never done before and it was sooo different then a typical photo shoot but really fun. After about 650 photos, my arm was pretty tired but I wasn't complaining, the experience was awesome.
 After the race, we jumped in the car and drove down to moms(3 hrs) and dropped a few things off, laid in the hammock for about 15 minutes and then headed back north(3 hrs). We stopped in Lafayette, enjoyed dinner, then headed the rest of the way north. We stopped off at his parents to drop off a TV and then made it back to our house around 10:30, walked in the door and crashed! Needless to say- it was kind-of a crazy day!
 Today was a beautiful day... we got up and went for a run before church, it was such a beautiful morning we had to enjoy it! After a great church service Nathan had to run into a few stores so I got the grocery shopping done for the week. Once we were home it was time to start 'spring cleaning'. Nathan and Gavin were planning on heading to the golf course, however they got sucked into watching some crazy snake show(some guys spent 10 days with 100 snakes in Las Vegas and they taped it) then one about sharks so by the time that was over it was time to grill out! I love it when Gavin comes over...we have such a good time together and I love having him here! Dinner was delicious and the company was tons of fun!
 I just finished the final load of laundry, thats the good news- the bad news is that I still have to put it away, I think that will be a tomorrow project. Gavin and Nathan are attempting to watch a movie but I hear a few snoorzes coming from Gav so I am not sure home much he is watching! haha
 Here are a few pictures from the race...it was really cool because all of the money raised when to cancer research- what a great cause!

 this was a WOW picture for me...this lady had about 100 or so names pinned to her for people that she was racing for...she said she had about 20 more to add before her next race. very touching. 

this was a group of sorority sisters that had joined together for the day to walk for a fellow sister that is fighting cancer..she was in the middle. just shows how sisters stand by eachother- really cool.

Overall, it was a MUCH enjoyed weekend and a very productive day today. Not too pumped about heading back to school tomorrow but as my SIL Mandy reminded me last week...only 5 more Monday morning wake-ups!!! YIPPEEE. I think I can handle that. :) night y'all.
