We MOVED!!!

David and I have spent the last few days packing and moving into our new apartment but we are finally done!! Well, actually we still have to clean the old apartment, but then we will be done. I'll post pictures of our new place soon. It is so nice to acutally have a bedroom and unpack wedding gifts. Last night was our first night and we have a ton left to do but we are so excited. Our new apartment is on the 15th floor and it has a fairly large patio. We sat on it last night with my glass of wine and David's glass of whiskey, smiling that we were not in a basement anymore. Yipee!!

Hugs for Children's Hospital

Here is a picture of Jacque hugging Slacker from 105.9.

Here is the gang hanging out in line, waiting for the burgers.

Today, most of my co-workers and I went down to the Hard Rock Cafe and participated in Hugs for Children's Hospital.  Slacker and Steve, from 105.9, were trying to break the world record in hugs over an hour and they did it!  All you had to do was donate at least a dollar to Children's Hospital and give Slacker and Steve a hug.  And because we donated, we got free burgers from the Hard Rock Cafe.  It was a sweet deal.  

Yea!!! A new season of the...

HILLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Last night, Julia and I went to our favorite place...Benny's!!!! Then we moved it on back to her place to watch the Hills and it did not let us down. However, the episodes are much shorter then we remembered. It felt like it was over as soon as it began. But in the short period of time, there was plenty of drama. It looks like we have a new Monday routine!

Sundays...

Sundays consist of me contemplating when I am going to do my long run.  Then I think all day about the run.  Finally, once my run is over...I lay on the floor until I think my legs can work.  This is the first time I have trained for a marathon.  It is harder then I thought it would  be.  This Sunday was 16 miles.  It was ok.  That is all I have to say about that.  

Happy Birthday Scott!

Monday was Scott's 30th Birthday. We celebrated it Stuebens. However, Ricky was out of town for it and his 30th birthday is today; so when he gets back, we are going to be throwing a much larger party for both birthday boys. David and I tried to find something fun to have Scott wear, but we found NOTHING but some beads. oh well. Happy birthday Scott and Ricky...it's a big one!!!!!

10 more weeks to go...

Today marks my 7th week of training for a marathon. Thankfully, Mondays are rest days! Yesterday, was one of the first days that I questioned if I am going to be able to make it. I had a 15 mile run yesterday. Wowsers!!!!! I am still feeling that one today. I still have 10 more weeks of training, and I guess if I keep it up, I will be able to make it. But right now, the thought of adding 11 miles on to what I did yesterday seems impossible! For the last few weeks, I have been getting up at 5 am Tue-Thur for my training because of the heat. It actually has been really nice to way to start the day. Tomorrow morning, 9 miles total of intervals. Hopefully, I will make it to the end...

The little guy is here! Roman Jacob Stotts!

Roman was born on Friday afternoon. He is 8 pounds and 4 ounces, 21 inches long. The whole family is doing well and heading home today. Can't wait to meet him!

Festival

This weekend, David and I met up with Jess, Jim and Cooper, along with some of their friends for a block festival.  I can't remember what the festival was called, but it was at old Pearl Street area.  Great music and great beer...couldn't ask for too much more!  Jim and Jess just moved here from Indiana.  It is so nice to have more family out here!  Cooper has grown so much since last time we saw him.  It is going to be so nice to have him so much closer and to see him grow! Also, I ran into some old co-workers for a brief moment.  It was nice to see them.  

Waiting...

Colette, my sister-in-law, was due to give birth to my first nephew over a week ago! The doctors broke her water this morning and now, I am patiently waiting to hear news!!!!!

Mt. Elbert

Awhile ago, actually over the 4th of July, most of my church and I went camping and hiked Mt. Elbert. It was quite a hike, but we had an amazing time! Over the whole weekend, the weather was amazing.

Leah's wedding!!!

Leah, my step-sister's, wedding was a few weekends ago. It was held in Ankeny, IA at this beautiful park. Leah looked amazing! I will have to post pictures of her when I get more. David and I had a great weekend visiting family and friends. It was our first wedding that we went to as husband and wife. I liked it!
