Just Living the Life...: It's Been Awhile...

since we've updated our blog! It's Leigh again - taking over the keyboard. While we haven't been up to much - seems like we've still been busy. A couple weekends ago we had a night on the town to celebrate Dana's birthday. 3 couples in total - us, brad/dana & adria & mike went to the hip part of our side of town - sugarland town square. We dined at an italian restaurant and went through our fair share of wine which made our story telling more animated and loud and we are definitely sure the people around us wish they sat further away. We ended the dinner with a round of shots - which I smartly didn't take mine and matt went against better judgement and took both :-). We ended the night with loud music listening to soulja boy on brad's patio - which we actually got a call from the neighbor to turn it down - I guess we are still trying to act like we are in college.

My folks came to visit last weekend and we had a great time. Riley loved seeing her Gigi and Deks and it is always entertaining to see Dad and Matt challenge each other to the wii. Mom and i lunched and shopped and just really enjoyed being together.

I am still sad I can't run the marathon - I went back to the doctor for a follow up visit and my fracture is healing - albeit i tried to run yesterday and it was a mess. I am still in pain and the dr said that the moment I feel it - i should back off as it will only make it that much longer to heal. I reckon i will be cycling away on the stationary bike for quite sometime while my leg continues to heal. We are going skiing with brad and dana at the end of February and I am hoping my leg doesn't give me trouble. But hey - if it does, dana and I can hang out at the warming hut while the guys tackel the mountain :-)

We are preparing for Riley's 2nd birthday - we can't believe our little angel is already 2!! We are planning a Shrek themed party as that seems to be Riley's favorite character. She is constantly asking "where's shrek? donkey? princess?"...let's hope i can pull it off and get all the party supplies in time!

This past weekend I was due to go to Arlington for my sister-in-law's baby shower. I was SO disappointed i couldn't go - i came down with a cold and I took riley to the dr the day before our travels and we decided it was best not to risk us all being too sick and getting my folks sick as a party favor for our visit.
