BIRDIE!!!

This weekend was our anniversary trip to Kohler. We had big plans of golfing, eating, drinking, enjoying the spa...and just having a great time together. The weather interrupted some of our plans, but the weekend turned out better than we could have planned. We got to nap on Saturday afternoon because of the weather. While we would have enjoyed being able to golf, a nap, room service, and a bottle of champagne turned out just fine. Sunday was beautiful weather, so after breakfast in bed we went golfing. Now, I hadn't golfed in over a month, so I knew it would be ugly...and we were golfing at Whistling Straits on the Straits course, so even on my best day, I'm not good enough for that course, but wanted to get out there and have fun. While I played horribly for most of the day, I GOT MY FIRST BIRDIE...EVER!!! It was AWESOME!!! I've never even gotten a par...went straight for the birdie. A co-worker of Alf's told me to just quit golfing now...it doesn't get any better than at birdie at Whistling Straits! Today is back to work and back to only seeing Alfredo in passing! :( At least we had the wonderful weekend!! Now we get to look forward to Mexico....only 2+ months away!!!

Update

At my new job, which I LOVE, I am blocked from sites such as this, hence the long break without a post. Lots of fun stuff has happened though. First, I met my final summer goal....a fifth event. I did the Dousman Duathlon on Sunday and it was AWESOME! It was a 2 mile run, 20 mile bike, 2 mile run. I was hoping for a time of 1:45 - 2:00 and I finished in 1:40!!!! My first 2 miles were under 15 minutes...I was THRILLED! I think my brother may even do it with me next year. Pictures can be found at www.imagebyfuad.com, going to public galleries, Dousman Duathlon, and searcing for Bib 424.

We got our new furniture, so we have a completely furnished apartment! Now all we need are pictures, some tables, and GOLDEN TEE!!! We're not sure when, but we will be getting a Golden Tee for our place. Alfredo and I got to hang out on Sunday....an unplanned date night. Drinks, Golden Tee & Dinner together are so much fun when we haven't had a ton of time to hang out together.

Yesterday was our 3 year anniversary! We can hardly believe it's been that long. This weekend we are heading up to Kohler to celebrate. Golf, spa, breakfast in bed...it will be WONDERFUL!!!

I DID IT!!!

My last major goal for the summer was to finish a half-marathon. I want to complete five events total for the summer so I still have one more thing to go, but today was the summer's major goal. 13.1 miles and I FINISHED!!! I didn't walk and I even did it in a good time. I was hoping to average no more than 10 minutes miles and I finished in 2 hours 1 minutes. My legs hurt like nothing I've ever experienced before, but seeing that sign that said mile 13 and then Alfredo waiting with the camera...it was AWESOME!!! I'm probably going to be sore for a few days, but it was totally worth it. I'm so happy I achieved this and even did it in less time than I hoped. Hopefully some day he'll be running with me...but until then, having a cheerleader is wonderful as well!
