Memorial Weekend

We began our weekend with a date! It was our 12 year anniversary on the 27th so we went to Market Street Grill to celebrate. Chelsie was kind and offered to babysit our kids. We had a wonderful time at dinner. We've been dieting for months now and it was nice to take the night off and eat whatever we wanted. I sure am one lucky girl to have met such a wonderful guy back in Jr High School, who would have guessed we would fall in love and get married?

On Memorial day we attended the Race for Grief for our little Miss Allie. It was our fourth year going to the race and I feel motivated and I push myself harder while I train for the 10k. I want her to be proud of us and it pushes me to do better and be a better person. This year Benton and I ran it together and we finished in 61 minutes. I was proud of our time and I am lucky to have him running by my side. A BIG thank you to all who came and supported us! And I know there were others who couldn't come but sent us well wishes and we appreciate all that we received! We sure do love and miss you Allie!

Afterwards we went and visited her at her grave. I know I've said it before and I know I'll say it again but I wish cemeteries were always filled with flowers like they are on Memorial Day, it's just a beautiful sight.
