Weekend in Snapshots
Pictures can do the past 48 hours more justice than words could. My parents drove up for the weekend to celebrate my birthday and were greeted with a beautiful blanket of snow. First stop: the track. Work hard then play hard ;)
With the time trial completed, we headed downtown for the night!
One of the best friends I could ask for!
Peanuts in their shell remind me of baseball. Take ME out to the balllllllll game!
SNOWFLAKES!
Night 2 – Greek food! Shared a delicious Greek pizza & Pita Wrap. Yes, I splurged this weeked (AFTER a 75 minute gym sesh)
Yep. That’s caramel. And chocolate pretzels. And ice cream. Health nuts have birthday dessert too ;) Like I said – I splurged! (I may have “wished” that these calories just disappeared…) And I definitely hit the treadmill for a 10-miler the next morning!
Love having my family here, and the weekend was definitely too short. As my parents first experience with snow, we had an unforgettable weekend! Only one thing was missing…..
Dad turns the BIG 5-0!
Today is a special post because today, my daddy turns 50! HALF A CENTURY! :P I wish I could be at home to celebrate with him but I couldn’t get out of an exam so I am sending my love via cyberspace. This song came on my iPod while I was working out yesterday and I thought it was so appropriate for his birthday:

It’s true! We have so many fun things planned in the future, beginning with a challenge I gave him in honor of his 50th birthday: a half century ride (a 50 mile bike ride). I want to do this with him, so we’ll have to wait until I get home but it will be so fun to complete a challenging long bike ride together. 50 and fitter than ever!
Get this: he woke up at 4:30am on his BIRTHDAY to go to the gym and workout before work. Now THAT is dedication. Props, old man!
Always and Forever a Daddy’s Girl!
Happy Birthday Daddy and here’s to 50 more! :)
