The past two weekends I have gone home to visit my parents and to take care of a few different things at home.
This week is our last week at home before we go on vacation!!! I can't wait! We have a lot to get ready before we go, but that's my job this week. I have to pull out all the camping gear and get the food that we are taking. Since we made our list a few weeks ago, this year it should be more organized and flow smoother than our normal crazy way.
I am so excited to get out there and go hiking. I love the trails that are in the park. Also as this park is know for butterflies, we will be keeping an eye for them. There is something so peaceful about connecting with nature by hiking and camping.
Mostly, I am looking forward to spending time with Hubby. He recently switched jobs with his company, and we have had some more time to see each other then when he was at his old job. However, with me going home the past two weekends, we haven't had a day off together in a while.
I have lots to do to get ready!! Tomorrow is going to be busy too!

Festival Time!
Yesterday, Hubby and I went out to see the Lilac Festival. It is one of our favorites to go to. The weather was very warm, but a little rainy. However, we managed to have a great time as always!
We did some Christmas shopping ( we start early, but mail them out too late!) for friends over seas and we also found a few things for ourselves. I found a glass tree necklace ( I get one from this shop every year), and two bracelets made out of trees. Here is one of the bracelets:
Here is the tree necklace:
As always, we had a great time walking around, seeing the sights, the fashion, and eating some food. Hubby and I love festival season! Now that the weather is finally nice, we can get out enjoy more festivals!

Happy Mother's Day
Today is Mother's Day!!! I am not able to celebrate with my mom today, but I was able to see her yesterday!
Yesterday was my Brother's girlfriend's graduation party! My hubby, mom and I went together to party. We gave gifts to our mom's before we went to the party. It was a great. Hubby and I both got our mom's flowers for their gardens. Both mom's were excited by their gifts.
The party yesterday was great. I had a lot of fun and it was so nice to see my family even for a few hours.
Today I already called my Nana to wish her a Happy Mother's Day too. She is being taken out for dinner and drinks by my uncle and aunt. I'm happy that she has someone there to take her out. My grandfather would have taken her to breakfast, but as he is no longer with us, she has to wait to go out until dinner.
Enjoy the day that we celebrate Moms!

Fun Times
Today I was working at a school that I worked at a few years ago. It was amazing! What an easy day I had!! It was also nice to be back with people that I know and enjoyed working with.
After school, I went for a run with my buddy. We are getting ready for our race in June. I'm happy about that! We are slowly getting faster and able to run more.
With the nicer weather, I have been spending more and more time out in my garden. I'll have to get picts of it up soon!

A New Day
It's a lovely new day with lots of knitting on the schedule! I feel like life has taken over again, and I've had no time for crafts.... well, life and a good book or two might have something to do with it!
Which brings me back to my pink shawl... I know that if I put in more time, it will be closer to done. However, my short attention span is starting to wander. I have a few other projects that are slated to be finished, but I am forcing myself to stay on task! This is why I have so many projects started! I get a rush when I start a new knitting project... it's very exciting to see a ball of yarn slowly transform into something so much more!
I also get a rush crossing things off my list! It's one of my quirks. So, as much as I want that new project rush (and I really don't have any lined up right now.....scary!) I am working on that crossing the pink shawl off my list for good!!!! IT IS TIME!

Running Away
My running buddy and I are back at it! We are starting to get into a routine. Well, ok, we only did two days so far... but that's more than we've done in a while! ^_^
We have officially scrapped our plans for the 10K in May. We are thinking to work back up by getting our speed up for 5Ks. There are a few coming up that we'd like to do, so, we are going to get going on that plan!
In other news, this weekend is not only Mother's Day, but also graduation for many people. My Brother's Girlfriend (who went out to the Goth club with us) is graduating! I am so happy for her. She has been working hard and she has earned it. Hubby and I are going to go visit them for the party on Saturday and celebrate with our mom's that weekend too! Should be fun! ^_^

Running
Well, with the nice weather and my ankle all healed, it's time to run again! My running buddy and I were out for the first time in a month. It was great! I really missed it!!!
My new shoes also helped a lot with my ankle. I need to pay more attention to my shoes and how much I wear them out!
This weekend has been great. Hubby and I went out last night with some friends and today has been nice and enjoyable. I'm kind of enjoying laying around today. It's nice to have days like that sometimes!
This week my running buddy can't run too much, so I will go solo. We are not going to do the 10K in May that we had planned on. We are looking into a 5K and maybe some longer races once we are back into it.
Oh, I finally got my shirt from our 5 mile race that we did in March!!!! About time!!! It's like a badge of honor that I earned! ^_^
