Under the Banner of Heaven

I went to Houston this past weekend to watch Astros vs Red Soxs. Whenever I am visiting my in-laws I am left very often by myself inside since I am the only one who does not smoke (Sometime I go and sit with them), which gives me ample time to catch up with my reading. This weekend I finished Under the Banner of Heaven by Jon Krakauer. I enjoyed the book and find myself flipping sides whether I am pro or con Mormons. Anyways now I am interested in the FLDS I am going to check out Shattered Dreams by Irene Spencer. I'll update you later whether I like it or not. -Gabby

#64 Running

Two weeks ago my friend (Michelle) and I decided to run in a 10K race. We only signed up for the race to help keep us motivated to work out. We all know how easy it is to say tomorrow I will start working out blah blah blah. Ever since then we got on a training program and I ran 5 miles this past Sunday.

I am in the process of trying to get Chris to run so I can have two running partners. My nagging is finally getting to him because I convinced him he needs 'real' running shoes. As of now he runs in his 10 pound sketchers and then he complains that his lower legs hurt.....uummm. Wonder why? -Gabby

#3 Make a new friend

This past saturday I went to a scrap booking get together (GTG). I met not only 1, but 3 new people. I am looking forward to more scrap booking in the future with these nice ladies. I didn't complete the pre-wedding scrap book, but I am pretty darn close. The next few books I will try and complete are my high school days, college days, and a wedding album with non-pro pics. -Gabby

#20 Created a budget

Two more weeks before our 1st month on a budget. Money has been tight, but I think we are going to make it and not spend over. So whoo hoo!!! -Gabby

#33 Texas Chili

So yesterday was so fun. Chris and I went to pace bend with some of our friends and spent all day swimming. At the end of our long day we all decided to go back to the Chili Parlor. I ordered a potato with white chili/pork and mild chili/beef.  It was yummy, but maybe a little overpriced. -Gabby
