So Saturday I ran a 5k! Not only did I run it, but I ran the whole thing without walking. I was (am) still sick so I went into it convinced that I'd have to walk/run but I didn't. My time was 34:40 seconds, so not at all bad for a first time. I think what kept me going was the fact that I was running with my friend Patrick. If he hadn't been there I think I would have stopped and walked so I'm thankful to him! Ben, my mom and the girls came to cheer me on and it was nice to have the support. The run was beautiful - it was next to the river and over bridges and with the fall colors and gorgeous weather it was an absolute perfect morning.
Saturday night we headed up to our friend Matt and Meghan's house and went shopping at the Albertville Outlet mall for Christmas photo outfits and on Sunday we did our photo shoot. We had a fun time and the pictures turned out great! I am really excited to do cards this year and am happy that we got it done so early when the leaves are still colorful.
Tomorrow is Maia's first speech therapy appointment. I'm thankful that Ben can get off work to watch the girls while Maia and I go and I hope that she demonstrates the stuttering for the therapist. We'll see how it goes.
Next week Ben is leaving me a single mother as he's headed out to Delaware for the work week. I hope I can maintain my wits and my sanity and keep my head from exploding! :)
Oh, I signed up for a cake decorating class! I'm really excited because it means I can get out of the house one night a week for a month so hopefully I'll love it. It starts in November.

I'm so proud of you I could burst!
Let me know if you need a break next week or want company. You know I understand what its like to be a single mom for the week (and I only have one to keep track of)!
