Happy days!

I had a nice weekend.

My 3rd niece was born on Saturday. After a day of being called Baby Girl by the hospital and 3N by Mark and I (No Name Niece) they finally decided on Melinda Grace. She is healthy and beautiful...in that smooshed red faced baby kind of way. I can't wait to see her...but it won't be until after the marathon as she lives in Michigan.

While I was running 15.5 miles Oscar arrived from Taiwan.

I had a nice Sunday. Slept in a bit. I have been pretty sore lately, especially in my shoulders. (You would think with all the training it would be my legs that are sore...but nope. Its my shoulders). So I went and got (in my opinion anyway) a much deserved massage. It was amazing!

And then when I got home I remembered...FOOTBALL season started! Yes its just preseason but its still football!!! Yes I am a HUGE football fan! I am not gonna say which team I am a fan of because I don't want to make anyone who might have wanted to donate not donate because of which team I root for! (ie "Well I was gonna donate a MILLION dollars but Bethany is a _______'s fan!!! I hate the ______s!!!!")

If any of you are football fans....this is ANOTHER way to possibly get donations for this worthy cause. Throw a football party!!!! Have people pay a "cover charge" to get in. Or...for every touchdown throw a dollar in a pot. If there are fans from both teams present have a friendly rivalry and have them throw money in the pot for every point your team scores and visa versa! Be creative! (Of course, I am in no way promoting gambling!)

Have a great week everyone....and GO _______s!!!!!!
