Running

I am slowly but surely getting back into running, I go during my lunch hour at work. Today I went 2.1 miles in 30 minutes. I am slowly building back up to where I was before I got pregnant. One mile at a time.

Love-
Chapin

Air Quotes.....

Everytime I use inappropriate air quotes I think of you still and always will. Like when A had his danger Ranger and I was telling you a story about it and I air quoted "truck" and you looked at A and said 'Isn't it a pick up truck?' Yes. Yes it was. But I air quoted "truck" anyway. I still use them inappropriately ALL the time. It's charming and quirky. hahahahahahha....

Sterling tried pureed strawberries for the first time, he loved them. :-) He's about 4.5 months old now.

Trevor is growing up way too fast, he looks closer to 15 than 13. And I just cannot believe he is going to be a freshman next year!!! Remember when you used to babysit him? HA! Remember the time I had to go out of town over night for work and you stayed with Trev at the duplex and had a heart attack because Wolverine ran down the basement steps in the middle of the night and sounded like a person?! Wolverine is still fat and sassy and still sounds like a person on the stairs. ahahahahahahaha....

I miss you a bunch....XO

Discussions about you....

This past weekend we drove past where your wedding reception was and it was snowing and blowing much like that same night. Andy and I had a good laugh remembering that you were so worried about me driving that night because of the weather and in your mind I had been drinking, which I had not, at all, because I was still trying to recover from your bachelorette party ("what happened to Chapin? I think 3 bottles of wine happened to Chapin"). So we loaded you and RP into the back of my Impala along with like 8 whole cheesecakes and some decorations and off we went. You kept asking if I was ok to drive, I had to keep reminding you I was completely sober. We got to your house and you HAD to have Taco Bell, but I wouldn't take you unless you got out of your wedding dress and put some clothes on. hahahahaha....So you finally changed and you and I left the boys at the house and went to Taco Bell. Where you proceeded to order approx. $30 some odd dollars of Taco Bell and after every single item you requested "extra nacho cheese". We had loads of food and about 20 little containers of nacho cheese. HAHAHAHAHAHA....Then Andy and I talked about how much you LOVED that cheese when you were drunk, so much so that when you threw a big glob of it onto my car seat you proceeded to scoop it up on a finger and eat it, Oscar fur and all lady! BAHAAHAHAHAHAHA....Oh man you were so grossed out when I told you about that a couple days later. And the other surprise of that night was Andy and I took 2 of the cheesecakes home with us and when we opened one to have some.....there were finger fulls scooped out....yep, while riding home after the reception you opened just about every cheesecake back there and ate some with your bare hands. Wedding dress and all....


I miss you so much....
