513..Night out with friends 7/28/14

Stephen and I met up with some friends at a local pub called 513!  We hadn't seen Rashad or Christina since we moved back so it was one of those "shot" nights!!!  Had a great time with great friends!

Bix Weekend in Iowa 7/26/14-7/27/14

I was not able to make it back on Friday night for the Jr. Bix, but my twin nieces ran the race well. Grandpa and Grandma are always there to support.

Saturday morning Braxton, Melisa Wassmer Zaehringer and I got up and ready for the Bix. Stephen Dale Johnson, Richard Wassmer and Karen Wassmer were there to take pictures and support us. This was the 40th anniversary of the race so they expected a lot of people...didn't hear what the numbers were though. With Braxton, we ended up just running the quick Bix which was plenty for me!! So excited we got to see some old friends celebrating at the Bix later that night.

I forgot, Boyfriend had his teeth cleaned Friday 7/25/14.  He was a grumpy old man and wasn't very happy with me.  He traveled well to Iowa and enjoyed all the attentions from everyone!!









Before we went home we had to stop by my favorite place to eat...Sanchos!  I always get a double serving of Chili Conqueso!!! We had the Zaehringers, Graverts and the Wassmers stop by for a unforgettable lunch!!!
