First of all, we did not do this:
We decided Marathon Training was not for us when we decided to take a "lovely run" on a 95 degree day, and Steph started crying on Register Avenue.
But we did....
See the Legwarmers for our friend Kim's birthday.
And, then did the Race for the Cure with Ben's mom the next day....feeling a little "under the weather." Steph thankfully did not throw up.
Our friend, Leigh, came to visit for a couple hours and we took her to the wonderful Samo's. Although she did not wear Ben's favorite "I love Cats" sweatshirt, she did wear a lovely tribute to the Nation's Eagles.
The Post's came to Baltimore! And we went to Gettysburg...I'll have to upload a picture later (like when I'm not at work...)
We also joined a "Haiti Learning Group" learning about the history and culture of Haiti, and hopefully participating in a trip to Haiti in the next year. This is really exciting because Steph has been to Haiti a couple of times, and we had wanted to visit Haiti together while Ben was living in the Dominican Republic, but it was never possible. It's been a great thing for us to explore our love for the international community, and do something together again we really care about. Currently, we're on a $2 a day eating challenge for the class...it's been a great experience.
This is a picture from when Steph visited Haiti to see the Citadel a couple years ago:
Steph went to Michigan as well, very very last minute, to see all her old friends and roommates from Hope College. 5 year reunion, we're officially older. She also got to see her dear friends Biz and Julie.
Annnnd....Steph loves Halloween. So we carved a legit pumpkin this year (although last year's was amazing too). And we checked out the
Great Lantern Parade in Patterson Park. It was well worth it, and we're already planning on joining in next year...let us know if you want to be a part of our lantern team!
I think we're semi-caught up now.
