through the lens of my phone v.1

i've been doing a lot of the same old same old lately. i practically live at this place---->

and i spend a whole 'lotta time on this bad boy. but hard work pays off, so i guess i could be hanging out at worse places. 

even though we've been spending a lot of time at the gym, we've gotten to do some really fun stuff in the past couple of weeks.

riley celebrated his 5th birthday!

we were given 2 tickets to go see sheryl crow at the biltmore estate. the biltmore does a concert series every summer and they get some really great artists to come in. this was our first time going and it was an amazing night. watching the sunset on the terrace and listening to music that i've loved for such a long time... perfect!

 riley's been doing some yoga with me. or supervising at least.

i signed up for RUN THE BLUEGRASS!!! can't freaking wait.

 my mom and dad came to visit this weekend. the boys went golfing while mom and i got crafty. we each made UK wreaths and together we made her a beachy one also. the two UK ones are huge. i like the smaller size of her burlap one better and i'll make any future ones in that size.

do you ever do any projects you find on pinterest? 

if you have pets do you celebrate their birthdays?

six random things...

• i ran my first 20 miler on saturday [2 mile warm up, hot chocolate 10k, ran back to my car, then did the rest on the treadmill] and it went surprisingly well. i thought for sure i'd hit the wall because i ran the 10k faster than i should have, but i didn't. now i'm wondering if it's because i didn't run it all together? there was about a 30-45 minute break in between me running outside and running inside.
• today was my first run since saturday and i had no idea how dead my legs were! they aren't sore but they have no energy!
• since i've run out of netflix episodes of gossip girl i've had to find another form of entertainment for the treadmill... and now i'm addicted to sons of anarchy. with gossip girl at least i just watched while i was on the treadmill, now i'm watching SOA episodes every chance i get. MUST STOP. 
• brad and i have also started trying to catch up on homeland. so every night we watch one or two episodes before we go to bed. it's an exciting life we lead. 
• the weather here today is amazing. i actually washed my car and 'cleaned up' after riley just to have something to do outside. 
• then i did some crafting for february:

do you like to make stuff?

is there a tv show you're addicted to?
