Mid June already...

Well summer is officially here and it seems that unlike the olden days, when summer meant sleeping in endlessly, finding a nice summer job, lounging on the beaches, and loads of TV time; our summer time seems to be speeding things up.

Let the wedding Hoorahs begin! Our hallway corkboard is officially loaded with Save The Dates and wedding invitations, each getting more creative than the last.  Mr D made the comment the other night that he's never thought of his time as "Months" before. As in, "What do we have going on this month?" which is truly how things are turning out.

He's also accrued around a week of vacation time at work and we have been itching to have a little get-away of our own for a while now. Perhaps once all the wedding mayhem dust has settled we will think about it.

Along with our busy schedule has come roughly two realizations:

1) Miss Heidi needs 8 hours of sleep to function like a normal human being. Deprive me once, I'll make it through the day just a little off beat. Deprive me a second night, my sleep bank begins to hold a grudge. And just you try that a third night and only multiple strong cups of coffee will keep my eyes focused properly and woe to the thief because my sleep bank's collection agency can tend to get rowdy when dodged.

2) We are craving some regular exercise.

You may not see how these connect, and that is simply because they really don't. However, it was out of these two realizations that we are basing our new regime upon. As of last night we started running (! Really, I promise!), and we went to bed at 11. Fabulous side effect: since I didn't have work today, we got up at 7:30-ish and had time to make breakfast together before the Mister had to go off to work.

As to the running, google maps is really such a fabulous thing. The Mister looked up running tracks and got us a few aerial views to choose from. Turns out there's a high school just 5 minutes away that keeps a space in their gate wide enough for us to squeeze through. We both ran a mile and could barely squeeze our ego's back through that gate with us. We hope to make this a regular weekly occurrence. Maybe we could run a race together sometime?? We'll see.

However, since the weekend was such a whirlwind in and out of our house, things are woefully out of order. That and the kitchen needs restocking, so my day is full already.

Happy Tuesday to you all. Much love.
