Half Marathon in Vegas

We did it! Brian and I ran the Vegas Rock and Roll Half Marathon on December 6th. It was very cold but very fulfilling. The course was the entire strip and back so it was completely flat. I was able to get a personal best and finish in 2:23 and Brian finished in 1:58. After the race was done we ordered a bunch of room service, showered, napped and watched movies until we went out and celebrated that night. Another highlight of the trip was I won $1100 in Wheel of Fortune. It was probably one of my favorite Vegas trips ever!

The love of our lives













Sonny Boy Vivaldi is the first addition to our family and we love him so much we think he is an actual child. Our lives are centered around him and what he is doing 24/7. It is like raising a toddler. He had his 1st birthday on November 8th and we celebrated with our family. We are excited for many more years with Sonny and to expand our family someday. Not sure how he will take having a baby around as he is a complete mama's boy but we will somehow manage. He will love eating their toys.

Being a newbie

I am inspired to start a blog and talk about my family and life events. Not totally sure how to do it but I guess I will start spilling my thoughts and pictures into postings and hopefully it will turn out okay. I hope that for the family that is far away it is a great oppurtunity for them to check up on our family life here in Washington.
