Yea, well maybe a boring title but wait til you see what happened this month.....
I went to Vegas....
I finally traveled to this desirable bachelorette party destination and loved it!! Looking back I can even say that I loved experiencing my worst hangover while there! Why, you ask? Well let's see, I was alone. With no children. In a glorious hotel room bed.
I regret to say that this particular hangover was nowhere near the one you may think of from the popular movie, but more so one like this.... I stayed in bed alllllll day, was almost late for a $300 massage Mike got me for our anniversary, attempted to eat lunch with the friends I was suppose to be spending time with while there but instead quickly returned to our room when my stomach could just not brave ANY food. The porcelain goddess was my closest friend that day. By nightfall I showered for the second time that day and weathered the awful storm I was still feeling and went to the show 'Zumanity.' I miraculously felt better once there and enjoyed myself to the FULLEST! The show was everything I expected and loved. One of the hightlights of my trip. Needless to say, I am not as young as I once was. Vegas proved to be everything I imagined and I cast no judgments. I would love to return to Vegas under different circumstances (aka not a Bachelorette Party)

| A Zumanity character...he was an animal....seriously! |
My next trip was the VERY next weekend and one you would not expect to follow a crazy trip to Vegas with. One may think more recovering would be required but alas, the girls and I traveled to Nags Head for me to run my 1/2 marathon! Go Me!

| it's just a morning run gals...right? |
The run was FANTASTIC!!! The course was beautiful and the weather was the best running weather you could ever ask for! We had great spectators who cheered us on the whole way which always makes for a better, easier run. This will definitely be a run I do again. Dare I even say a 26.2 is on my mind? We shall see....
Did I mention i LOVE the beach in the fall??
It makes for great photos
Next stop in November....
We take another trip down i95 south to our state capital, Richmond to see my good friend Meg. In tow, my two girls, my friend Heather and her baby Emma (shown), and my friend Kate. All these lovely ladies I have worked with at the Fax and we had a girls night with Meg at her super cute house. My super cool minivan came in use for our roadtrip. Without it we would have been a caravaning down 95 instead of carpooling,
Oh, also in November, my girls get cute.
REAL CUTE!
With Molly almost one, I can hardly believe this time has passed me by! She crawls everywhere, babbles a lot, and is hands down the happiest, most smiley baby I know! Her eyes and sweet grin could light up any room. I can never pass up an opportunity to snuggle this sweet babe. She loves being close by Lily and I can foresee a 'monkey see monkey do' in the Molly girl. Her eating habits come close to mimicking a pig who missed a meal of slop. Although she only has 4 teeth, there is nothing Miss Molly cannot, or will not eat. She loves blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, and strawberries. She loves, bread, crackers, pasta and cereal. She loves, okay okay, you get the point right?
Lily, well she is almost THREE! What?
Yup, almost three and acting every bit her age! This is all very good and bad some days. She has her way with me and Mike! She is enjoying preschool and all her new friends she has made. Lily is a jokester and makes Mike and I laugh. I could not ask for a better big sister in her. She loves, protects and helps Molly. Lily gives the best hugs and kisses and it melts my heart when she tells me how much she loves me! She has her way with words and has come very close to getting me in trouble for repeating the not so nice things. She loves when I put chapstick or lipstick on, she calls it her 'lipschap'
This is me saying 
RIGHT
IN!!!!
YUM!
