A few weeks ago (okay more like a month ago) Craig ran the KC Half Marathon. It was his second marathon this year and also my second "attempt" to watch. I say attempt, because yet again, I missed him cross the finish line. Not only that, but I went to catch him on the Plaza and, of course, missed that, too. I wasn't in the best mood because I had no idea what I was doing or where I was going, and genius me thought it was a good idea to take our dog. Schnauzers do not like random people. So all morning I had to fight Kinnick to shut up! I'm sure people on the plaza were getting so annoyed. I was like the mom in the grocery store with the baby that would not stop screaming. Only it was a 15 pound dog and his annoying bark. Anyway, since I missed the opportunity to snap a photo of Craig, I took one of these bananas. Because that's normal. Bananas running a marathon.
He did really well and beat his time from last spring. He's signed up for Rock the Parkway again next April. Maybe third time's a charm and I'll actually witness him running? Here's a pic of him after finishing.
Later that day, we went to the Lenexa Chili Cookoff. What a beautiful day for it! And a super cheap way to grab lunch. You pay $2 and can sample all the chili you want. Not only chili, but salsa and wings, too! And, of course, there is beer for purchase and a band for entertainment. It was our first trip, but definitely something we'll try and do every year!
A couple weekends ago, I had two (yes, two!) baby showers to attend in one weekend! The first was a friend from high school who also lives down here. It was fun seeing her and her family. The second was a co-worker (well, sort of) and the ex cheer coach. Between all the cheer and dance events, we got to know each other pretty well. I didn't get a pic at her baby shower, but here's a pic of me and mom-to-be Lindsay from Fairfield!
