MILES! I ran 4.5 miles all at one time! I am very excited by this. It is the farthest I have ever run, EVER ( so far). It took me 50 minutes- BUT that means I ran for 50 minutes at one time.
That is AWESOME. I am proud. I used to tell myself that I had to stop at 3 miles because otherwise I would throw up or get injured or both. Needless to say I did not throw up or hurt anything....I don't even feel that bad. I have one little blister.
So I am going to sign up to run the 5K in my neighborhood again this year and I actually looked up the Army ten miler because as Steve says - 'it is just like 3 - 5K's in a row'.
Thanks,Steve. Love you too.

Wedding Time & Hotel Info!
THIS JUST IN: The mass time has been changed! Our Wedding will be at 3PM on June 28th, NOT 1PM!
This makes me feel so much better. The scheduling of events for the day was getting a little out of hand.... what time for the photographer and the DJ and how long is cocktail hour and when do we eat and transportation and what do we do with family and will it all end at 7 if it starts too early-and do we have a break or not a break... DONE- the voices in my head have stopped. I am now just thinking I don't have to set an alarm and can enjoy my coffee that morning! Thanks, Steve for suggesting we check on the time change! ( I love you, baby.)

Look Who's All Grown Up!
I am doing a blog shout- out.... This is for Tracy: look who I got to see and spend time with at a conference in Texas- yes , our Neil is a doctor!
Neil is one of my best friends. We met in Philadelphia at Temple Podiatry School- and the rest is history. I hadn't seen him since 2001 and we end up attending the same diabetic wound care meeting in Ft. Worth Texas. Wow it was great to see him and catch up. With Neil, it is always a good time. This still holds true and crosses state lines. The last night of the meeting he told me get ready, we were going to hit the town Texas style. We did! He knew about this place called Billy Bob's Texas ( the largest honky tonk in the USA). It is in the old stockyards of Ft. Worth- very cool. We missed the live bull riding by minutes. ( yes they have live bull riding in the bar) I had a long neck shiner in my hand within seconds and while RANDY TRAVIS sang live, I danced the 2 step on the dance floor under a rhinestone saddle !!!!( instead of a disco ball) Thank you, Neil for a great time. And as the saying / song goes 'God Bless Texas' ( and Neil!!!)

Welcome Madeleine!
On March 3rd, 2008 weighing in at 2 lbs. 9 oz. Madeleine Eva Bushey joined our family of friends! Yes, she was early. Brent and Kirsten are parents! and doing a damn good job of it. Madeleine is definitely demanding lots of attention at a very early age, but she is beautiful and she's a fighter. She is so famous already. She has her own blog:
http://madeleinekirstenandbrent.blogspot.com/ She has rocked our world. She makes us count our blessings everyday. She has taught us how to be better friends.

THE CITY
We went to The City - NYC a couple of weeks ago to meet our photographer. He was great. I really like his style. We had a great weekend. We went to a lot of great clubs and listened to fantastic live music. We ended the night at Small's- this hole in the west village that has unbelievable jazz. They kick off the night at midnight with the first group. They had 4 acts the night we were there- it was amazing. We ate great food- Sarabeth's has the best breakfast in the city! ( and of course the slice at 2 AM is always good!) I heart NY!

Excuse me , there is a baby in your fridge!
Saturday morning we visited Steve's buddy Danny and his family in Connecticut.
Isabelle is a very beautiful, happy little girl. She has to be refrigerated though, or she might spoil!
Fruit
WOW- what an amazing weekend! Friday night was a treat . Wine at our favorite wine bar in DC with our buddy Adam. It was so great seeing him and catching up. He is so computer savvy. He was showing us stuff ( applications) on his new MAC that were pretty darn cool. I have MAC/ Apple envy big time. Apple technology just defines temptation in my mind- I wonder if that is why it is APPLE?
