That pretty much sums up my weekend. Don't get me wrong, we had a fabulous weekend, I'm just still wiped out and its Tuesday. Never fear, we are slowly recovering and gearing up for another of the last few remaining weekends in StL! Before we get to that, a recap of the past weekend.
I was so very, very excited to see these two crazies this past weekend! I'm only sad we didn't have the opportunity to spend more time together! However, we did still have a blast! The introduction circle that they did was entertaining. They asked for a story...which I think we were all frantically searching for a family friendly story! Lol! Something Steph said really is true. We have indeed come a long way since the pirate party that resulted in the cops pulling us over...and then letting us off the hook because we were smart enough to get a sober driver...and that's all I'm going to say about that story as the people reading this already know the full story and for those that don't, well too bad... :) Anyway, I was very sad to leave on Saturday. I think Rachel and I talked for another 30-45 minutes from the time I said I was going to go to the time I actually left. This is what happens when old friends get together and can't seem to leave...too much reminiscing to be done. :)
Then there was the other part of the weekend: the marathon relay/half marathon for Garrett. I had all the shirts set out and ready to roll on Sunday. We woke up at 5 AM and Garrett sleepily said to me, "Who's idea was this again?!" Uh that's right...YOURS! LOL! By the time that Abby, Cyle, and Cameron arrived, we were very much awake and it was a good thing too because they sure were.We all suited up and took off on the adventure 3 months in the making.
It was dark when we left, but it was light in no time at all. Abby took the first leg for 6 miles, Cameron took the second leg for 7.5 miles, Cyle took the third leg for 7 miles, and I took the final leg for 6 miles. Abby and I decided a long time ago that the boys were going to run the long legs. :) Sorry guys! (But not really!) In the picture, Cameron had just finished the longest stretch and was still good to pose for a picture! Typical of Cameron! Can't wait to spend 24 hours in a car with this guy in June. Evidently Cyle was like gimme the belt, gots to go!
Our trusty photographer was ready to take a picture as we ran by towards the finish line. My only thought as we ran towards the finish line was, "is it me or is that line not getting any closer?!" Finally, we all sprinted through the archway and were officially finished.
Team Huck: Relay Marathon 2013...Finishers.
"The Family Huck: The family that runs together, survives the zombie apocalypse together." ~Garrett Huck (He really wants to get shirts the next time we do this together that says this.)
After the big run, we headed down to Cyle and Abby's house to have some fun with the kiddos. We had a lot of fun but we were quite exhausted after our crazy day. I ended up switching my Friday off and took Monday off again as I was so sore. Garrett and I spent the day on the couch playing Lego Lord of the Rings and then finishing up season 2 of The Walking Dead. Garrett was all ready to buy Season 3, but I vetoed that idea since I really did want to sleep last night. It was a very chill day for us and we did need it!
On the agenda for this weekend:
Friday: Dinner with my grade school girlfriends
Saturday: Les Miserables night with Sarah and Rachael
Sunday: Who knows?! Maybe a BBQ
Until Next Time!
Lots of Love!!

So sad that I missed seeing you girls this weekend!
ReplyDeleteWay to go on your run! I definitely would not enjoy running that much ;)
Love all your photos and we really have come far since the pirate party days! Great job on running in that marathon relay because I certainly couldn't do it and please get those shirts made about the family and the zombie apocalypse.
ReplyDeleteHeart on fire!
