Meet Me in St. Louis

Posted on February 23, 2012. Filed under: Uncategorized |

I spent my weekend in St. Louis to visit my best friend Kim, her husband, Brandon and their son, Everett.

The last time I visited St. Louis in 2008, we went up to the top of the Arch, we didn’t do that again this time, but we drove right by and I couldn’t resist snapping a quick pic, I think it is so beautiful!

However, the highlight of the weekend was for sure this guy!

Everett just turned 7 months old today. Happy 7 months to you! It was a SO awesome to be able to spend the weekend with him and his parents. Kim and Brandon have settled into parenthood perfectly and Everett is so lucky to have them.

I was able to sneak in a 10k “race” while in St. Louis. I actually switched up my mileage for the weekend. I was scheduled to do 8 miles and the 10k race this coming weekend, but I opted for the rest day on Saturday and the “race” on Sunday. I’ll tackle the 8 miles this weekend while I am not traveling.

My knee hurt, of course – I’m getting used to the pain now for every run. Lucky for me, I had some pals to keep my company while I iced my knee.

Have you ever heard of “in bread cats?” Well, I had seen a picture once, but didn’t realize it had a name. We decided it might be fun to try with Lucy (the sweet cat above). No animals were hurt during the making of this photo, but I have to admit (and you can probably tell from the photo) she didn’t really enjoy it.

Yes, we are all 12 years old!

I had such a wonderful time in St. Louis and I look forward to seeing Kim, Brandon and Everett again very soon. It’s such a treat to be able to get to know their sweet little boy! Thank you guys for a fantastic weekend!
