flip flops in january...

i usually think January is a bit of a bore but it turned out to be a pretty legit month...we flew to AZ for the rock-n-roll half marathon mid-month! it was super fun to be back on old stomping grounds & hanging at the arnold's pad. janae ran the race with us...it was her first half and she "rocked it"


cam was so hysterical that day...i swear the kids didn't break a sweat - how can guys do that??? - he was taking all sorts of crazy pics during the race...check him out in the background of the pic of me & janae...then he said he took the pic to the right cause he was taking a picture of all the mile markers (which i might add that timing is wrong) but i swear he was taking it of the chick running with minimal clothing LOL!


need i say more on the two pics above he took? it was like he had 5 red bulls before the race but the thing is he has never had a red bull in his life. i almost knocked him out after he took the pic of me running...that's when i drew the line and made him leave us...he ran the first 5 with us to "get us pumped!"


my favorite running partner! (ntyocew).


gave a shout out to john mccain who was cheering people on at the beginning of the race...


it is a perfect race with perfect weather! luv az...


grandpa johnny with lundyn & jill


we got to meet up with some great friends (and also missed out on seeing some great friends, who will we def. catch next time!) how cute are seth, lu, vanny & caleb! we rocked the watson house, it may never be the same!


luv ya meg.


linda & her vannah


sometimes people are put into our lives and have such an impact that it is hard to explain the difference they have made. we sure luv the arnold's and their friendship.


as savannah would say "i can't wait to have lunch with my nurse pam!" it was great to meet up with pami for lunch, a day after her birthday! i luv pam, she is a great example to me...she is full of life, love, knowledge, inspiration, and so much character.


but pedis & lunch with sar were great, dropping in on miss prego james was super fun, taking snacks & magazines to carly who is on bedrest with twiners...my girls luved wearing flip flops in January...

this last week we took a quick trip to north carolina to see duke play at Cameron indoor. cam works with a girl whose dad use to play for duke, so she hooked us up with tickets...seriously it was pretty much a once in a lifetime experience...we stayed at the washington duke inn that is on the duke campus
a quick little get-a-way...no kiddos...

the campus is pretty amazing...so much history.
it was crazy...we headed down to check things out in the early afternoon (the game didn't start til 9) and the arena was open and we literally walked right in and gave ourselves a self guided tour...cam was taking a million pics.


the media room, the locker room...don't think we should have been in these places...

the atmosphere was pretty crazy amazing...we had awesome seats! all decked out in our dukie gear!

we beat florida state, it was a great game! emily got a pic with dick vitale!!!



the next day we went golfing on the course...ive never been before so i was not very good at all :) but it was super fun, a beautiful sunny day!



always so fun being with em & matt...to the airport chocolate croissants, to the dessert room service (LOL), to "give harry potter his sweater back", to hot tubs, bookstores, and memorable times with bf's.
