July 4th weekend...late I know :)

This summer has been full of fun! I can not believe it is here already. We had such a great fourth of July weekend. We started the weekend off with my birthday on the 2nd. My parents took the kids for the night and Brandon took me out on the town. He took me to dinner and then we went shopping! I bought some clothes and some accessories for the home, (He knows what I like). Saturday we woke up early and Brandon and I went and ran our very first 5K!! It was soo fun. We have been preparing for this for a couple months and wanted to beat our best times. We have had a lot of fun having something we can do together. He finished before me, and instead of resting, he came back and ran the last bit with me. It meant so much to me to have him pushing me that last bit. He has been a great supporter and I love him so much for that. To rewind a little bit, 5 years ago I had corrective surgey on both my feet. I couldn't put any weight on my feet, so I spent 3 weeks in a wheelchair. Since my surgery I haven't been able to feel completly secure on my feet. I have 10 pins and screws in both feet so I dont have the full flexibility I did before. To run in a 5K was such a personal accomplishment. It gave me such an adrenaline rush. I beat my time and came in at just over 36 minutes. Later that night we had Brandons cousin Chris and his wife Hydee, and their three kids over for a barbeque and some fireworks. We are thrilled because in September their family will be moving ino our subdivision. We are looking forward to many more nights like this.
