Justin and I are leaving for Vienna in 3.5 weeks. We are both ridiculously excited about this trip. We pour over travel books every night before we go to sleep...we Google photos of our destinations. We count our Euros. I am excited to see Vienna and Italy (and one night in Amsterdam). I am excited to see Mollie, Andi, Vinnie and meet little Elsie. I am excited to run the Vienna half Marathon with my soul mate by my side. I am excited to eat new foods and drink new drinks.
Justin is literally giddy with excitement. He'll randomly text me during the day to tell me he can't think of anything else except exploring Europe with me. He's been there before...several times. He even brought a girl once (LONG ass time ago). I asked him why he was so excited about this visit and how it was different from previous visits:
He says the sweetest words to me. He really is the best ever.
My birthday is on Friday and his is on Saturday (how cute are we???). He told me to get off work early, pack a bag for 2 nights and don't ask questions. He's taking me away for the weekend! How fun!! I can't wait to see what he has planned. I know it's going to be the best birthday ever!
Today I ran 11 miles! I never thought I would be running like this...I knew I would do that half marathon but I didn't know I could run that far without stopping or walking. But I can! Not without pain, let me assure you. I have blisters on my tootsies and chafing on my lower back from where my pants were apparently rubbing as I ran. I didn't notice that until I got in the shower afterwards...YOWCH! My new shoes are causing major blister issues but they help with my knees...I hope I can find shoes that don't blister me and still keep my knees from aching. I feel very accomplished today.
Oh, and I got a new car! I settled on a brand new 2013 Honda Civic. I love her so much. I can even put a picture of Justin and I on the dashboard screen which I have already done, of course. His face makes an hour of traffic much better.
I love my life so much! I have a good job, I have two healthy and happy kids. I have my soul mate. I have a sweet, new car. I am going to Europe soon. I have a fun surprise birthday weekend coming up.
I love my life.
