Baseball and Twilight

This Sunday, Justin and I got to go to a Texas Rangers charity event. E&Y bought a table and my friend Karen invited Justin and I to attend. We had a great time! Justin was sooo excited to go and even more excited once we got there and he started literally bumping into Rangers as we walked around looking at the silent auction items. I think his favorite moment was saying "hi" to Gary Pettis as he walked by. We had dinner and Tom Grieve, the voice of the Texas Rangers, and Andruw Jones sat at our table with us. The Rangers starred in some game show skits on stage as we enjoyed dinner. I got autograph's from Michael Young, Andruw Jones, CJ Wilson, and Saltalamacchia. I got Salty's for Ashley...although I meant to get Hamilton's. They look similar...both have curly hair :) I hope she likes it anyway since it is addressed to Ashley! It was very fun event and Justin is still talking about it!

In other news, I finished the Twilight Saga, sigh. I even read the partially finished draft of Midnight Sun posted on the author's website. It is the first book but through Edward's perspective. Luckily, I do have the 2nd movie to look forward to coming in November.

I'm not sure what is so enticing about these books and what has almost every woman in the world captivated. But my theory is that the author really brings to life the feelings of falling in love. When you read it, you get the same sensations which is truely something everyone wants to experience. So for those of us older, married, Twilighters, the draw is remembering how we felt all those years ago and experiencing it through Bella's story all over again.

That brings me to a good point, all those years ago will be exactly 5 years this Friday for Justin and me. Although, I guess I fell in love with him 2 years before that :) It is funny to recall my feelings those first few months we dated. I remember not wanting to be away from him and thinking he was really hot. I guess it is also funny to think of my feelings now. I still miss him even when I am just at work for the day. 10 or so hours feels like a long time sometimes. So although it is fun to remember and to read about falling in love, I am proud to be where we are in our relationship today. He is the only person I never want to be away from even 5 years later. Wow, I'm not normally that emotional on my blog....Twilight brings it out in me!

20 Miles

I ran 20 miles Saturday morning! What was I thinking?!? It went pretty well and I felt as good as can be expected afterwards. I was a little sick to my stomach for most of the day. Not sure if I was dehydrated but it was 75 degrees and humid here when we started our run at 5 am so it is a pretty good bet. I need to try and figure out how to stay hydrated b/c there is no escaping the TX summers. My legs were tired but felt pretty good by Sunday.

After church on Sunday, we went over to my parent's house for Mother's Day lunch. My grandparents were in town so we had a nice time visiting with them and everyone else.

Nothing too exciting going on this week. I am hopefully getting new running shoes this evening. That is always an event for me :)

What I did tonight...

I updated my template tonight while Justin was at volleyball and I watched American Idol and half of Biggest Loser. Hope you like the new look!

Let's see, I'm not exciting lately. Mostly working. I have almost finished the 3rd Twilight book. Good thing I bought books 3 and 4 at the same time :) I have a 13 mile run scheduled for tomorrow which is alot better than the 18 last week! We had a great time last weekend getting to see Justin's good friend Jeff who was back on a two week visit from Iraq. We also enjoyed cheering the Mavs on to victory over the Spurs in 5 games! Who would have thought?? I'm getting my hair cut tonight after work...now that is exciting.
