Birthday's, Running, Denver, and CHRISTIE!!!

So there have been some awesome developments since I last wrote. We're getting ready for Avery's birthday and we're planning on inviting her 3 closest friends over for a little party. (We don't want to overwhelm her with too many people). We're having fun planning the little games and getting the little party favors. I think she and the other kids are going to like it. :) I can't believe she's going to be two years old. It blows my mind. Her birthday is on Erik's and my 3rd anniversary. It's so awesome to think that we've been married for 3 years! I can honestly say that they've been the best 3 years of my life. I'm so fortunate to have such a wonderful man.

I went running this morning with my friend Sandra. It kicked my butt.

Erik's getting ready to have an awesome adventure. He's going to the national TESOL conference in Denver in a couple of weeks. He leaves on the 23rd and gets back on the 29th (I believe - I'm having a hard time thinking ... and lifting a water bottle for that matter. Running really kicked my butt.) I'm going to miss him so much but I'm excited that he gets to be there.

We have another important development. Christie is coming to Hawaii for her spring break!!! I never really thought I would get a visitor while living in Hawaii. I always tease (and probably annoy) my family by asking, "When are you coming to visit?" or talking about, "Well when you come to Hawaii ..." but I never thought it would actually happen! She's going to be here the 22nd - April 2nd. Oh my gosh, I am so excited! I get to see my sister and she gets to see Hawaii!! And she gets to be here for Avery's birthday! I am so excited. My life is awesome.
