We’ll see just how much of a running post this ends up to be because this past week has been all about #1 Daughter and her wedding. \u00a0Running has taken a back seat the past 10 days because:<\/p>\n

#FamilyFirst<\/p>\n

#Always<\/p>\n

MFH, #1 Son and I set out at early o’clock August 5, 2017 for a two day drive to Colorado. \u00a0We had dropped off the animals at our local vet to play with the other animals while we were gone so we didn’t have to worry about them.<\/p>\n

That first day was kind of rough driving. \u00a0We hit Tennessee,<\/p>\n

\"20597068_1410228522430613_6727235329752453176_n\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Arkansas,<\/p>\n

\"20638745_1410228532430612_6394892716071853441_n\"<\/a><\/p>\n

and finally Missouri.<\/p>\n

\"20597152_1410276652425800_1370571943506928147_n\"<\/a><\/p>\n

By the time we reached Missouri, the sky had clouded over and it wasn’t long before we saw some threatening clouds!<\/p>\n

\"20663721_1410334592420006_5824271635023915092_n\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"20663810_1410334605753338_3364505079988289240_n\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The weather deteriorated from there and we drove through some pretty ugly weather the rest of the day. \u00a0We stopped for the night just over the Kansas state line.<\/p>\n

\"20620786_1410556465731152_6535993170022629382_n\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We had been driving a solid 12 hours and were worn out.<\/p>\n

The three of us grabbed some dinner and I went down to the hotel gym for a quick 5k. \u00a0It felt terrific to move after sitting in the car for 12 hours!<\/p>\n

\"20597440_1410985342354931_1854310621215047295_n\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The next day, we loaded up the car again and with fresh optimism, continued west towards Colorado.<\/p>\n

Along the way we saw a few interesting things. \u00a0This tire impressed me. \u00a0That was one BIG tire!!!<\/p>\n

\"20622011_1411212878998844_7828190356153481011_n\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Finally: \u00a0Colorado! \u00a0YAY!!!<\/p>\n

\"20621912_1411466368973495_7724834870406460451_n\"<\/a><\/p>\n

That next day, #1 Son and I drove down the road to a local “Y” for a little gym workout. \u00a0He likes to lift. \u00a0I just wanted a TM. \u00a0Outside the “Y” they had a huge dinosaur cutout. \u00a0Of course, I had my pic take with it. #RunsWithDinosaurs #DinosaurWhisperer \u00a0I ran a quick 4 miles and #1 Son lifted a little while then we went back to the house. \u00a0I had a Bachelorette Party to get ready for!<\/p>\n

\"20638322_1413193482134117_5264533214120447855_n\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Maid of Honor asked me to arrive a little early and help decorate. \u00a0I have to admit, I’m pretty pleased with how this decoration turned out! \u00a0 *pats self on back*<\/p>\n

\"20708306_1413862765400522_78815685881699242_n\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The party was a smashing success!!!<\/p>\n

\"20637984_1413600818760050_4170266168411058890_n\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Seeing as it was such a successful party, we’ll just say:<\/p>\n

\"20638721_1413854715401327_7708700018397530767_n\"<\/a><\/p>\n

‘Nuff said.<\/p>\n

We had the wedding rehearsal the next morning. \u00a0There were a few people who had been at the party the evening before who were not feeling so spiffy at the rehearsal. \u00a0LOL!!! \u00a0The rehearsal went great and we were ready to go the next day for the real deal!!!<\/p>\n

This guy was soooo ready to get married!<\/p>\n

\"20728812_1414850171968448_2796626461141349958_o\"<\/a><\/p>\n

*BTW: \u00a0#1 Son took a lot of pics at the rehearsal and the wedding. \u00a0He did a fabulous job!!!<\/p>\n

\"20708360_1414084888711643_3360634285459822576_n\"<\/a><\/p>\n

MFH and I practiced our dance moves after the rehearsal.<\/p>\n

\"20664635_1414030812050384_1782361099459963600_n\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"20664038_1414030828717049_381533273931713080_n\"<\/a><\/p>\n

FINALLY: \u00a0It was Wedding Day!!!<\/p>\n

\"20729554_1414768218643310_8895815607710772330_n\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It was a beautiful morning for a wedding so I did what came naturally, I went out for a quick 4 miler. \u00a0I turned right out the driveway of the house we rented and one block later was hopelessly lost. \u00a0LOL!!! \u00a0I had a terrific run, though, and got home just in time to clean up for the wedding.<\/p>\n

\"20664561_1414903835296415_7631763004485352600_n\"<\/a><\/p>\n

MFH and I drove up the canyon to the wedding site. \u00a0It was a beautiful setting for a wedding!<\/p>\n

\"20664158_1415043751949090_7891070211594205338_n\"<\/a><\/p>\n

MFH and I changed into our wedding clothes. \u00a0MFH looked pretty doggone handsome!!!<\/p>\n

\"20638931_1415041201949345_7141378951462021833_n\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I had some super pretty flowers. \u00a0They came in handy because they hid my Garmin tan line perfectly! \u00a0*it’s the little things…<\/p>\n

\"20770170_1416855731767892_7335533185927703458_n\"<\/a><\/p>\n

#1 Son scrubbed up nice, too! \u00a0Funny story: \u00a0He needed a tie for the wedding so he raided Paxton’s box of unused neckties and “liberated” one for the wedding. \u00a0It looked great!<\/p>\n

\"20750726_1415636665223132_1392292161_n\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The wedding went off perfect! \u00a0They were pronounced husband and wife. \u00a0I cried. \u00a0*I do silly things like that* \u00a0We all cheered and then we celebrated!!!<\/p>\n

\"20728145_1416028435183955_5018737251665026493_n\"<\/a><\/p>\n

#1 Daughter and #1 Son. \u00a0I have two fabulous kids, you know that!?! \u00a0#ProudMama<\/p>\n

\"20768110_1415622811891184_3923434603506681213_n\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I guess I have three fabulous kids now: \u00a0#1 Daughter. #1 SIL and #1 Son.<\/p>\n
