Friday Fill In and Happy 3rd Birthday Jake!
Dont forget to head over to Wife of a Sailor and link up!
1. Which was the best day of your life- Wedding day or Homecoming day? submitted by Pink Champagne, Gatorade & MREs
(^Hey thats me ).... For me it was Homecoming day. My wedding was great and I loved every second of it, but I already knew I was going to spend the rest of my life with him long before May 15, 2010 (yes our anniversary is coming up!). When I saw him get off that plane it was such a wave of emotions that I will never forget.
2. Were you a part of the joining the military question or did you sign up for the relationship when your man was already in the military? submitted by Cammo Style Love
No he wanted to join ever since he could walk pretty much ha. But he does discuss reenlistment with me etc. I can't keep him from something he enjoys so much.
3. What is your favorite Disney movie and why? submitted by Raising Roscoe
I have not seen any of the recent ones but I guess my favorite The Little Mermaid.
4. What is your favorite family activity to do on the weekends? submitted by Destination: RN!
Run, travel, or cook things together.
5. Where do you secretly wish you could be stationed with you/your SO’s line of work (realistically speaking, not everyone can be stationed on NAS Fiji)? submitted by Wookie & Co.
He is national guard so we do not get stationed anywhere besides tropical and sunny Pittsburgh, PA lol.
Our pup Jake turns 3 today (or 21 in puppy years)! Here he is through the years:

The date is October 9th. Registration is open now for military members and opens up for the public on May15th at midnight. It sells out FAST- I'm talking in a few hours. If you would like to run it sign up at midnight with me!
It is one of my favorite races and its a great feeling to be around so much Army and hear Hooah 1 million times ha. If you are planning on running it let me know and we can meet up! If you are thinking about running it- think no more and just do it!

Happy Cinco De Mayo!
Two years ago I sent Dan a Cinco de Mayo package while he was at a very small outpost in Iraq. It was one of his faves! They had the day off and were able to enjoy "near beer".

Lincoln National Guard Marathon Half Marathon Recap!
So every year the hubs has to go to the Lincoln National Guard Marathon in order to qualify for the National Guard Marathon Team. So thats where we were this weekend! Warning this post is a little bit "rah rah PA and rah rah Dan". I am lucky to have a husband who makes me so proud in so many ways! (Ok whenever you are done puking in your mouth please continue to read).
We got to Lincoln on Friday morning and our friend Sean drove from Chicago to meet us out there. He is now at Ft Riley if anyone knows any single ladies- hes single (and also took all of these pictures) lol! We went to 2 wineries this weekend and brought home 6 bottles of wine yum!
The PA Team had to work the booth at the expo and here they are in all of their glory!
Soon enough it was time for race day!
The race for me was meh. It wasn't my best and it wasn't my worst. There was strong headwind during the last 4 miles and my legs hurt like crap from almost the second I started running. Oh well I will try again for a PR!
Dan finally got the PR hes been wanting for almost 2 years! His chip malfunctioned though so they timed him at gun time with a 2:54:43. His Garmin read a 2:54:36 so he was a bit frustrated- good thing he didn't start hat far back! Dan also managed to get 5th in his age group overall and 1st in his age group in the Guard competition.
An airman (airwoman?) ran her first marathon EVER and got 2nd woman overall and 1st woman for the Guard competition! Her time was 2:54:13. Congrats Emily!!!!
The PA team got 2nd place overall in the Guard competition and swept the men's 25-29 age group awards. In fact all but one person on the team got a personal award. Congrats!!! The PA team came leaps and bounds over the last 2 years and I am super proud to be from PA, married to one of its runners, and to be friends with the rest! The people on the team were really nice and funny annnnnd they didn't laugh when I told them my expected finish time ha.
PS please bare with me while I am trying to do some editing to the format of my blog.
