::last weekend, according to my iPhone::

I know it's officially "this weekend," but I wanted to share a few iPhone photos from last weekend. One of my college roommates, "Tate," came to visit from Texas. We had so much fun catching up, enjoying a girls night painting at Spirited Art, and reminiscing our college days at Tiger Tunes. My brother, and his cute girlfriend, (bottom right) were both in Tiger Tunes (hence the exterminator costume) making homecoming a little more special this year.

To top off our fun weekend, we got to take Elliott to his first birthday party for his BFF, Paisley.  Brooke did such a good job decorating for her "Very Hungry Caterpillar" themed party. (I wish I had taken more pictures.) It's hard to believe it has been a year since we were anxiously awaiting Paisley's arrival in the hospital waiting room. It has been fun to watch her grow from a tiny baby into a beautiful little girl this year.

I'm looking forward to another fun filled weekend starting in a few hours. We're headed out of town for the Razorback game in NWA, and leaving Elliott behind (for the first time!) with his Pia and Poppy. Hope your weekend is grand!

All You Need is Love!

I woke up this morning to footage of the September 11th attacks on TV. It's hard to believe it has been 8 years. I can remember that day like it was yesterday. I heard the news on the radio while driving my yellow Mustang to school. I thought it was a joke. Then when I got to my first period class (Drama Tech), Ms. Benson had the footage live on TV. I was shocked! While we watched the footage, the second plane hit... live. I know I will never forget that day. I am remembering the families who lost their loved ones 8 years ago today.

Today my sister brought me a painting she did for the salon. It's really cute! The "V" in Love is a pair of scissors. Cute huh?

Tonight Gary and I played games with my parents, Brooke and Jonathan and Brooke's parents. We had such a good time. It's neat to have friends whose parents are also friends. I hope we can do it again some time.

Tomorrow is the Easter Seals 5k race. I am hoping to finish in under 34 minutes. My last 5k race I finished in 37 minutes. Ideally I would finish in 30, but I have never run 10 minute miles, so we'll see. I hope the rain holds off so there will be a good turn out. Wish me luck!
