Tease

I always like to brag about the weather when it is warm here. Rumor has it February is suppose to be the worst one in years. Well, this weekend we spent the last two days outside. It's 65 degrees out right now and it's not even 1:00 in the afternoon.

I promised last year that I wouldn't write about running anymore. Josh came back out of retirement and is planning to run three races that I know of and God only knows how many other ones he signed up for. So today we hit the trail. I like to be referred as "coach" I follow him with my bike and take in the nice weather. For those who've been out here, we went to Gravely Point (where we watch the planes land) It's eight miles round trip. I just wanted to prepare you all there will be another year of photos of Josh racing!

We went to "Match Box" a restaurant in the city. It was so yummy. We had to wait a bit but it was worth every minute. http://www.matchboxdc.com/

I got kicked out of the Lab. I had some lab work to do. I went to the hospital started the procedure and when asked what I had for breakfast-I was told I needed to come back. Apparently I didn't pick the best breakfast! I'm a sucker for Honey Smacks...Little tiny sugar cubes as the guy at the clinic refers them to! So this week there will be another trip to the hospital.

Ju-Ju is loving the nice weather too! He has his friends he meets up with on the path and he has his spots he has to mark every walk!

What happened to January?



January just flew by! And I haven't wrote a thing down in this blog for weeks! I guess I will just have to do a recap. In the start of January we did a fast trip to Ohio. Josh is working on his masters and I had a couple trips to the doctors. Ju-Ju has a new favorite snack-cookies!!!


The inauguration was very exciting. The city was buzzing for days. I took some pictures when they were setting up. Josh spent many hours at work. I didn't make it to "the mall" but watched it on a big screen at the town square in Alexandria. I took a few pictures just to show you how many people were there.
This year I have started off work with a bang. Really some interesting projects and clients. We have been asked to help a novelty shop! Lately I have been laughing a lot. The drapery workroom I work with said-you got to take the jobs where you can get them! The town is extremely upset the shop is even there and we have the pressure of classing the place up! Wish me luck. Besides that we are still pretty busy it's fun to meet people, see how they live, and help them make there place a home!
Nubs got his/her picture taken again! We get the joys of doing the sonogram over. After 45minute of flips, twists, and turns. They didn't get very good pictures and asked that I come again. The tech was trying to show us the baby and couldn't even click the key board. As soon as she had it centered there was a wiggle flip whatever the baby was gone! She held the wand to my tummy very still and had us watch the screen it was bouncing all over the place.
Josh has been excited because he gets the feel the baby too! His most often asked question is "how do you sleep?"
Josh flew to a conference and had a quick return due to weather. They have been very busy. He even got to bring a sleeping bag to work this month and spend a few days in his office! Poor guy.
We went to dinner with a small group of friends. The place was empty and the staff was pushing out! It was extremely weird. We all tipped and then realized the tip was included too. So they got a reasonable amount! I wasn't sure what there rush was. There wasn't a big group waiting for a table. I still think about it!
January ended up being pretty chilly for a few days! I'm feel guilty because it's nothing compare to what my family and friends live through in Wisconsin. But we are getting spoiled the 1st of February and it's almost 60 degrees out! Josh, Ju-Ju, and I are going to get outside and enjoy this weather!
