I know this is now a month over due, but that is how I roll. We got adventurous and took a road trip back to VA last month. We decided to make it a tradition to run the Ukrops 10k every year in Richmond. Its a fun race and a good excuse to see friends and family, so we packed our bags and headed north. The drive was long, and as soon as we arrived Makenzie and I decided to drive a little further in order to see our old friends in DC.
It was so good to see everyone and to catch up. It was great to see Makenzie play with her old friends who she loves and misses so much. She keeps telling me "mom I want to play with my old friends." I think she will look forward to our yearly trips to VA, just so she can play with her buddies. Thanks to all my great friends for feeding me, housing me, meeting up for dinner. I had a great time and miss you all so much. After 20 hours in DC we headed back to Richmond for some family fun. We had a great time going to the park, eating all of great grandma bohj's wonderful cooking, celebrating Kenzie's birthday,
and running our race. I shaved 2 minutes off my time from last year. Lee got knocked out of first place by Jimmy who improved by like 15 minutes from last year (unfortunate foot problem last year). All together we all did better than last year and had a great time. And everyone was walking after the race this year. Lee will probably come back with a vengance next year, it almost killed him to get beaten by his younger brother. Thanks for the great times guys.
I try to treasure these special moments, because honestly most of my time is spent "being a mom and getting things done." I love those "make me smile" moments. I'm trying to treasure everyone of them.
