Pajama Party

Why does it feel so good to be in your PJs all day?  I find myself getting home from work and thinking to myself if it is ok to get into my PJs now or after I get the mail.

After the December holiday fanfare, we finally had our friends' holiday party at 9:30am, PJs required.

PJs and inflatable mattress are now mandatory for all parties

Houston Marathon 1.17.10

It's been 5 years since our finish line proposal.  I thought we'd run it in 2010 but snuggling in bed with the Van is waaaaay better.

Getting ready for the race

On the race course just a few steps from our house

Set your volume on low because I forever will be Van's biggest and loudest cheerleader.
