Mother's Day Weekend

We weekend started off great! My brother, Perry, got engaged to Amanda. They came over to my parents house afterwards to show off the ring, which I can say Perry did very well. They told us the cute story of how he did it, here's the banner that she opened.

We are sooo happy for them and can't wait for Amanda to join our crazy family! (Ben of course pulled her aside and warned her.) The weekend continued and Saturday I got up and decided to do a 5k, Get to the Pink, to support breast cancer. My legs were super tired from the week before, so I wasn't aiming for a great time or anything. Well I surprised myself and ended up getting a new PR, 1st place, and won $150. My previous time was 18:41 and my new time is 18:27, moving on down! :) Side note, I beat a girl that's always aiming for me, which just makes victory that much sweeter! Along with some extra gas money, I recieved this...

After the race and Ben's workout we headed to North Augusta to spend some time with Ben's parents. Saturday afternoon was so nice, we just sat outside, played with the girls, and a great wing dinner. For Mother's Day Ben gave me registration to a tri, Ben's parents gave me a gift card, and the girls gave me some things they had made at school.

All and all a great weekend, despite the rain! We have a full and crazy week ahead of us. Get excited!
