Jess & Jarrit's wedding!
I wanted to put a picture of the happy couple here, but none of the pics karen got of them did them justice. (They were both beautiful!)
So basically I grew up with both of them, but they didn't know each other. Jess has been one of my best friends since 6th grade and Jarritt was one of my brother's best friends since I think Jarrit said 4th grade. Here's the catch. They didn't meet through us. They met on a blind date and before it happened Jess asked me if I knew him because she thought i did. I
got very excited because I most definitely did! So there's a clif notes version.
Monday night we were talking about kids and Jarritt was saying he hopes I don't have to work with any kids like he was when he was little. Then he said, "you know how i was when i was little." =)

The wedding was wonderful! It was perfect and I could definitely feel the love.

The wedding party. Yes there were 10 bridesmaids and groomsmen. It's kind-of like where's waldo. I'll give you a hint. I'm on the right.

and we took a hayride from the church to the bolduc to the reception. (maybe 15ish miles). I would say it rained the majority of the time, but it was mostly light only hard for a couple minutes and no downpours. I think we lucked out! And once we got to town the weather was beautiful for the Bolduc House pictures. So everything worked out. Jess was under so many layers you wouldn't even know she was there, but she stayed mostly dry, which is what was important. Most of the groomsmen ended up drenched so they were happy to start drying out at the bolduc. It all worked out though.

Speaking of weddings watch this I LOVE IT! No this is not Jess & Jarritt's wedding and this didn't happen there either... but it's on the topic of weddings =)

I've had my fill of gravel roads (although they all contained memories), reunions at country mart, etc.
now... i'm leaving on a jet plane won't be back for quite a while...

Fall Fun!

We could not have asked for better fall weather this weekend.  70 degrees.  Sunny.  We just wanted to be outside the entire time.   We went for runs and decided we needed to spend even more time appreciating the fall foliage, which apparently will peak in two weeks.  So two more weeks to enjoy!  We checked out a new to us restaurant.   Then we took a trip to Grant's Farm, which neither one of us had been to since we were kids.  And neither one of us remembered.  Capping off another day spent outside. Monday I hopped on my bike to get to work and my body felt tired from the fun of the weekend.  I looked out my window at my desk and saw so many beautiful leaves, I took a photo on the walk back to where I park my bike. P.S. Yes, I got a new job!  Hooray!  A more detailed update is coming.

26 miles in 26 days

So the title isn`t exactly correct, but I ran a marathon yesterday and it was Melissa & my`s one month being here. But Caro helped me come up with the title and I thought it was catchy. So marathon #2 and a completely different experience than the one I ran last year in Chicago. Lisa Rottler Chamberlin is the name I ran the race with...I tried to sign up as Lisa Rottler, but it forced me to enter mom`s maiden name or i couldn`t continue with registration. the first difference I experienced this marathon in a very different way. In Chicago I was competitive I would say. It was on my mind since February of last year when I signed up. I was didigent about training and very serious about it. This year I signed up like 3 weeks ago and it was very last minute. Although, I ran like I was training for the marathon this summer in Chicago-that was 2 months ago. Last year the weekend of the marathon I rested. This year Friday night I went to my first quinceanera and got home at 4 a...

Lake Recap

Yep, it's recap time from the week my family and I spent at the Lake . My parents rented a house and a boat for our family for the week.  We were around mile 24 for those of you who've been there before. Dad, Mom, Jeff, Greta & Charlie all slept in the guest house so that meant... Karen & I had the whole main house to ourselves.  ;)  (If only we didn't disagree on the temperature so much. I like it warmer than her).   That might be a bit of an exaggeration.  We had the whole place to ourselves, unless someone wanted food, hang out in the living room, do laundry, etc. We pretty much relaxed the whole time we were there.   We were out on the boat at least once a day. Karen & I are ready for a day on the boat! We got in some tubing and skiing.  (No pictures exist of tubing, but it happened.  My scabs from the cloth burn just came off at the end of last week.  And just ask Karen.  She was sore.  We all were.) ...
