Baseball Season

Beautiful but windy day out

I look like a bug with my sunglasses on(ha, ha)
Classic Wolfpack Sign *
Yes its that time of year again! Baseball Season!! And I don't mean professional baseball season - because I still have yet to go to an actual baseball game in the new Nats Stadium, I mean NCAA baseball season and the NC State Wolfpack!
This past Saturday Kent, Nichole, Carnell and I all ventured North to College Park to see the Wolfpack in action @ UMD. The drive north was quite an experience, but we got there in time for a mimosa and beer before the game started!!
The Wolfpack won - OBVI and we had a lot of fun! I do still think Nichole is mad at Kent and Carnell for dippin' on our NC STATE pic with the flag- those losers :)

Baskin Robbins Blasts


So all throughout High School (well definitely starting sophomore year) I became obsessed with Baskin Robin's Blasts. What is a blast you ask? Well it is a cup full of yummy goodness that includes ice cream and coffee flavorings and yes lots of sugar!! :) I have been craving one for the past few weeks and tonight decided to go to get one. Baskin Robbins are not on every corner as I remembered them in H.S. but I found one right in my 'hood.
Tonight I got the Cappuccino Blast and unfortunately was a bit disappointed!! It was too icy and I was sucking real hard (thats what she said) to get the goodies through the straw!! Guess I will be sticking with Starbucks Frappuccinos!
So weird how things always seemed different in H.S.!!

My Bests

Look at Em in the background -' hottie in lipstick'
my weekend in Denver of blueberry vodka and sprite- love it
Um yeah I am scared of heights! BIG TIME!!

So I have decided to do little shout outs to my bestests = best friend; fav; soul sister; etc - so these will be periodic - and as you all know since I stink at keeping up with my blog it could be years til I actually do more of these - hehe

It may just be because so many of my bests live far far away and after Kent was in Denver all week for work and he got to see one of my bests TWICE in one week it made me think about how much it sucked I couldn't be there as well :(tear!

BTW Benno - Kent says you all are boys now and even hug - um just remember you love me more! June 5th - so close!!

Sara beth - I got your invite in the mail today and it put the biggest smile on my face - Your Day is almost here and it is going to be wonderful! I have been thinking of so many memories with us over the past few months and they all just make me smile!! You have been such a great friend and I have been through so much with you!! From freshman hate-mates (ok we didn't hate each other but ha ha you know what I mean) to BFFs!! Even though you seem so far away and we don't get to see each other all the time I want you to know you are always close to my heart (ok that was corny but its true!!)

Counting the days to stand at the alter with you!! I love you!!

Cherry Blossom 10 Miler - Check







On Sunday April 11th I ran my first long race of the year and first long race really in over a year and a half! I was definitely was not sure what to expect for this race, as I have been having all these lovely nagging injuries over the past few weeks that haven't been the best for training.

However on Sunday I simply put it all aside and for the first time in a while- really 'raced!' I ran over a minute faster than I thought I was in shape to run so I was so excited about my race! I heard people shouting and cheering for me all over the course - so thank you to all who where there to cheer me on (Kent and Nichole) and to everyone else who did cheer me on - it was so helpful and gave me a glimpse of what I hope Marine Corp Marathon will be like :)

19th women overall - I am getting there - October 31st will be here before I know it!! Just got to work on that last 400 meters - yeah not only could I not catch the Olympic Champion in front of me but I was literally crying as I finished! haha
