#1. Home Sweet Home! We moved into our new house over a week ago! I can't believe it's already been that long. Time is flying by... but everything is coming along so well. Jason installed the stair runner this weekend. It looks great and he did it all by himself. Such a handyman. So why did we install a stair runner? Well, I like to wear socks and I found it rather slippery going up and down the stairs, especially when I carry the laundry. But let's be real. The real reason we installed it? So our dog can safely move between floors without slipping. Yes...our dog.
#2. Date Night! Jason and I had our first date night since the move on Friday. We needed a night to just sit, enjoy a meal, and catch up. We went to La Tolteca - a little Mexican restaurant (for sure, a Small Wonder). I absolutely love Mexican cuisine and was in the mood since we are approaching Cinco de Mayo this weekend. Our experience was great. From the moment we walked in, we were immediately impressed with the decor. All of the walls and the booths has hand painted murals. The lighting was dim and set the tone for our evening. We were also in love with the food. Jason had burritos and I have a taco salad. I'm a sucker for the tortilla bowl. And the drinks were delicious - we went with frozen strawberry margaritas. The location is also super convenient to home...we can walk there! We're looking forward to going back this summer...or this week...either one.
#3. Broad Street Run... This Sunday was the Broad Street Run. I was so looking forward to running 10 miles down the center of Philadelphia at 8:30 am on a Sunday. Honestly...I was. I love training for races - it gets me motivated to actually go outside and do something instead of just watching Lifetime movies. So when I realized about 3-4 weeks ago that I wouldn't be able to? I was devastated. I sprained my ankle back in the November which landed me on crutches for awhile. A few months passed and I still didn't feel right. I would find people asking me if I hurt myself because they would notice me limping after running, long walks, or even standing for awhile. Regardless...I didn't let it heal long enough. And in the end? I couldn't run Broad Street.
So while I'm on a short but necessary hiatus from running, my husband is on the opposite end of the spectrum. He did run Broad Street. AND he finished 10 miles in 68 minutes. Impressed? You should be! I'll brag for him. His pace was 6:49 per mile, which is just amazing. My man can run...and he can run fast. I love him dearly and couldn't be more proud of him. I'm sad we couldn't do it together this year, but I'm looking forward to our next race together.
#4. The Tomson Twins. I saved the best for last. My sister and brother-in-law are having twins! AND last week, they found out that they are having twin girls. My heart is literally bursting with excitement. I was secretly hoping the whole time that she was having same sex twins, but specifically girls. I see the relationship I have with my sister. It's something I can't describe or put into words, but it truly is special. I'm so happy that the Tomson girls will always have each other. I can't wait for September to get here so I can meet these little babies!
