Lucky Day

We had such a great day yesterday!

First we headed to the Lucky Clover Hill Elementary 5k race that our teacher friend Kristen invited us to. The weather was awesome and running around Woodlake was gorgeous. I do not consider myself a runner because I can not get my body and mind to like it and enjoy it. However, for some reason, my mind knows the difference when there is a finish line to cross at the end of a race. I was very proud of my time yesterday 29:42 :). My husband on the other hand is a natural athlete. He ended up winning the entire 5k with a time of 19:45! (Of course he said he wished he would have done better.) 1st Place with over 400 registered is very impressive. After the run our friends Shawn, Sarah, and their little girl Mady came out to post activities. Clover Hill had face painting, tattoos, a magician, chick fila, flying squirrel mascot, and much more!

                

After the race we rode up to Magnolia Green with the Rupperts to check out their new house! Well, they are building it so we got a tour of the same model house. We are so happy for them and can't wait to see them in their new home this year!

Richard won some Lucky Foot money so we decided to head to their store and pick out some running shoes. I guess you could say I felt inspired after the 5k. Since I have a small foot the store had to order my size 6.

After some R&R, lunch and showers we met up with some friends at Hardywood Brewery. The weather was great in the sun so we grabbed a pitcher and sat on a blanket listening to the tunes of 1. the pimp van and 2. the Atkinson Band. It's crazy how Richmond seems so big to me but all day long we ran into people we knew! What started off as hanging out with 2 couples ended up hanging out with 4!

Quickly, the sun was set and the temperature dropped! The Reynolds tagged along with us and we had dinner at Thai Diner Too. Ok, so God wasn't done with us yet. During dinner we ran into Phil's boss. Richmond.. getting smaller and smaller. Dinner was so yummy but my mouth was burning even from the medium heat! Anyone who knows my hunny, knows he got his dinner 'Thai hot', crazy boo. When it came time to pay, we were consumed by generosity when we found out that Phil's boss paid for the whole table. How nice is that!? This man didn't even know us! Small acts of kindness seem so big to the receivers.

Since we didn't have to fit the bill for dinner we all took a vote and Cold Stone Creamery won. We all splurged and got the Love it size. I recommend the Peanut Butter Perfection :). As we were sitting there a group of 3 guys came in, gathered our attention and told us they were about to try out for the XFactor. They simply said, if you like us clap, if not just go back to eating your delicious ice cream. Man, they were really good. I tried to whip out my handy dandy iPhone but only caught a little bit of the serenade. You can find them through Facebook or YouTube: vathegroup.

Overall, it was a fabulous day. Filled with memories that I will never forget. My heart was happy by the end of the day. I credit that to the abundant blessings from God.
