Memorial Day Weekend: Polka Run & Fun Friends

A few weeks ago I decided to run the Polka Run 5k and I've been training on my lunch breaks and during the weekends.  The Polka Fest is always over Memorial Day weekend and the run is on Saturday before Memorial Day.  Before Saturday I hadn't run more than 2.5 miles at one time but I figured my adrenaline would help and it did!

Getting ready to start!

My cheering section


Emily and Matt did the 10k!



All done!  Finished in 37 minutes and 10 seconds.  Not bad for my first 5k!  

It was tough, but I did it!  Next year, the 10k is mine!

Since it was Memorial Day weekend, Lauren and Mark came to visit!  They had been in Galveston earlier in the week for a babymoon and they ended their trip by coming to see us!!


Friday night we went to dinner and I had to get a picture with my bestie!


Saturday the guys headed to the lease to do some fishing and Lauren and I went into Waxahachie to do a little shopping downtown.  We had lunch at the Dove's Nest, looked at the cute little boutiques, and went into Lowe's to see if they had a rug for Caroline's nursery.  And they did!  Success!!  Saturday night we had steaks at the house and enjoyed hanging out.  


Sunday, Henderson and I took Mark and Lauren to our fave brunch spot - Hattie's!



We did some more shopping in Dallas and then headed home to eat Marlboro Man Sandwiches - love those!!  It was such a great weekend catching up before Caroline makes her arrival!  Can't wait to meet her!!
