carrie is getting married in a short while and one night i had the pleasure of meeting her out with some friends to go wedding dress shopping. she was such a good sport and tried on about 50 dresses. it was way fun. the best part was trying on the fascinators. i am ALL about these and so is carrie. we heart them.
side note to carrie: send me some photos of the other night or i can steal them from your blog). k? thanks.

bb stopped by one evening and brought food for an impromptu picnic.

THEN a dream came true! i have always wanted to be a runner, and a step up from that i want my family to be an active family. running together is a dream of mine. even though matt has completed a marathon, he hasn't completed a 5K. so on may 7th we ran a 5K as a family - i was so happy!
