Racing and Relaxing

I was really grateful by the time Friday rolled around this past week.  It was a good week at work, but certainly a long week as well.  Mathis gave me the gift of doing absolutely nothing on Friday.  I was exhausted, y'all!  He went to a few picnics that we had been invited to before bringing dinner home for us to eat on the couch in our pjs. :)  We tried a new bottle of wine that evening from Amrhein that was very good!  I'm pretty sure I was in bed by 9:30 that night.

On Saturday morning we got to sleep in before heading out to run the 8K Race for Hope.  This race benefits our local Pregnancy Resource Center, and it's a race that I've run before.  I got to run this race with a new friend, and she really motivated me to keep on going.  I am a little out of shape, but hopefully I'll start running more now that I'm getting settled into my new work schedule.

Mathis also ran the race, and afterwards we headed out for breakfast at our favorite place in Blacksburg. Kim and Hannah joined us, and it was a fun way to celebrate finishing the race.

That afternoon Mathis and I took a nap and relaxed around the house.  We went on a double date with some friends that night to The Palisades, and it was sooooo good!  We got to order a bottle of our favorite wine, and enjoyed the feeling of getting away for a little while.  The sky was really beautiful as we left dinner.

This morning we decided to stay home from church to have some extra time together.  We had blueberry pancakes for breakfast and enjoyed the beautiful weather outside.  Mathis is studying hard for his upcoming prelim exams, and I'm working on running errands, cleaning, and getting myself ready for the upcoming week.  Hope y'all had a great weekend!!
