1. For those of you who do not know, we are currently in the process of training for a 1/2 marathon. Although we have both always been active people, long-distance running has never come easy for either of us. We thought this would be a good (and rewarding) challenge, and also give us much-needed exercise breaks during this busy season in our lives. Yesterday we went on a 5 mile run through our beautiful neighborhood, and with the fantastic spring weather, it could not have been more enjoyable. (It was rewarded, of course, with a visit to Sol Azteca).

2. This past week my sweet (and brilliant) friend Krisan found out that she matched at the Pharmacy residency program she applied to. While I think all who know her were not the least bit surprised, we are so excited for her and all the things she has accomplished in her 4 years of Pharmacy School. I remember the day during our Sophomore year that she found out she was accepted, and it is hard to believe in just one month she will be Dr. Anderson! Krisan is one of the most loyal friends I have ever known, and was the very first friend I made after arriving at Auburn almost 6 years ago. Since I love photos in posts, below is a picture taken of us on the first day we met, as we headed to our Pledge Retreat shortly after Bid Day.

3. And lastly, I would like you to meet our neighbor... a young, budding saxophone player. And by budding, I mean beginning (for all you Friends fanatics, picture Ross learning to play for Monica and Chandler's wedding). He practices his talent on his front porch, which is conveniently located directly across the street from our house. The noise of a saxophone travels quite a distance, and provides us with immense entertainment. One day I decided to photograph him (from inside our house so I didn't look creepy). Enjoy (and be jealous that you too don't get to experience this on a regular basis)...
Happy Sunday!!
we have adopted the Flowbee to cut Bella's. We can't take credit for this brilliant plan (props to Craig, who uses it to cut Tanner), but it has nonetheless been quite the budget saver. The blade portion (with adjustable guards) connects to the vacuum so there is no mess to clean up. Walker has become quite proficient, so please contact him if you want pet grooming lessons. The results...
