711...

more days to complete my 101 things...

i was born at 7:11 pm. random thought.

i'm almost done with 'the kite runner'...my 4th book for #2 on the list.

i signed up for the nyc marathon. but it's a lottery system...and i found out this past wednesday that i wasn't accepted. no one i know was accepted. meg thinks it's rigged. and so, i think i'll be running the obx marathon...or the raleigh marathon. we're still trying to figure out the details. but they're both in november...so i'll be a running fool once again. and then hopefully i'll run it under 4:45...my #3.

brother and i (and possibly mom)...have decided we have to lost 20 pounds before josh and elisha's wedding. we weigh in tomorrow...and have to lost 10 by july 11th. so it's back to ww, pilates, and daily runs. and so hopefully i'll be fitting comfortably in my "skinny" jeans soon...my #4.

i'm planning to take a little vacation back to michigan before school starts...and hopefully christian will be joining me...and we're thinking of going camping somewhere in the u.p. my #7.

and maybe we'll go canoeing too...my #9.

and maybe we'll go out on the boat on indian lake...and go water skiing. #80.

i spent the weekend volunteering for the special olympics summer games. i was supposed to be a volunteer manager for athletics (track & field). although the heat was crazy hot (100 or higher) and so they cancelled all the outdoor events (athletics and softball). i was pretty bummed...and i'm sure the athletes were as well...but i suppose it was for the best. i'll also be volunteering the special olympics midsummer tournament in july. i'll be the housing manager on that friday at the dorms...and the volunteer manager on saturday and sunday for one of the bowling houses. should be fun. and so #11 is completed.

i'm in the process of reading the bible...cover to cover. i'm in the middle of genesis. i better get reading.

ok, i think that's all for an update on "things."

weekends on the boat.

christian and i spent memorial day weekend...and the weekend before...out on the boat at carolina lakes. it was fabulous! the first weekend we went fishing (#99 completed)...pics below. the second weekend, amy and craig (and toby) came down to hang out with us on the lake. we spent the weekend enjoying the sun, eating, drinking, laughing, and playing games...and chris and craig both did a little wakeboarding. more pics below.
