25 During 25: One Year Later

Whoa! That year went fast.  For my 25th birthday, I wanted to do 25 different things ranging all across the board.  With today being the last day to complete the project, I wanted to give you all one final update.  Some I completed right away and some never got done.  Here's to another great year and celebrating 26 in style! 

1. Run a 10k - DONE! 
2. Do a blog give-a-way
3. Write a guest post -
4. Shoot a gun 
5. Go on a spontaneous trip  
6. See sunsets in 10 different cities - I didn't document all of these, but I know this was accomplished! 
7. Do a girls weekend trip - this is potentially planned for July....we will see though when baby boy comes into our world!
8. Have a house party 
9. Volunteer for Habitat for Humanity 
10. Buy a camera and learn how to use it

23. Send my nana flowers out of the blue.

Spontaneous Trip || Portland, Maine

Yesterday's post gave you a little bit of background to my crazy spontaneous trip, but let me tell you - Portland, Maine is a beautiful place. 

The plan was that my mom, nana and I were going to fly into Boston on Saturday and drive to Maine, but when my aunt said she is interested in driving with my cousins, I nearly said no, but forced myself into the car and I'm so glad I did.

We left Norfolk on Friday at exactly 8am.  We drove to Connecticut, where we spent the night at my old babysitters house.  It only took us 12 hours..... but it  was great to get out and have a delicious dinner, complete with mac and cheese, just like the old days. 

We had a bonfire, played with sparklers, and crashed hard because Saturday we had an early morning, as we still had 3 more hours to drive to Maine.

We got up around 7 and were out the door (photoshoot and all) by 8am.

The whole crew (aka D.J's roadies). Yes- the car on the way to Connecticut was filled to the brim with 8 people.

Once we got to Maine 4 hours later, we went straight to see D.J. and grabbed some lunch at Hot Suppa, which was a great recommendation by another baseball wife that's husband plays for the Portland SeaDogs.

After lunch, we all split up- some went to a brewery, some went back to the hotel, and D.J. and I relaxed before the big game. After he had to go to the field, mom and I went out to Cape Elizabeth to see this beautiful lighthouse.

The views were beautiful.  It was an overcast day, so I can only imagine what it looks like with the sun shining bright.

After we did the quickest walking tour ever, we drove to the stadium to pick up the tickets before it got crazy.  The field is right in Downtown Portland, so the parking is a little tricky if you don't have a handicap pass.  When I went early to pick up the tickets, the sweetest girl was there to help at the front desk.  It just so happened to be one of the players fiance's that was able to help get our tickets early.  It was great to hear her story and meet another baseball soon-to-be wife and see how she spends her time during the season.  She came by and sat with me for a little bit during the game as well.

Before the game, it down-poured.  But we got a pretty awesome double rainbow out of it!

After the game, we tried to find a place to eat, but everything was closed because it was close to 11pm.  Sunday morning came early.  We spent all day from 7am to 9pm driving back to Norfolk.  The trip was definitely a spontaneous one and crossed that off my 25 during 25 list! It was worth it to see D.J. make his AA debut!

Myrtle Beach | 2015

Last weekend the girls and I hit the road to Myrtle Beach for a quick road trip to see the guys play against the Myrtle Beach Pelicans.  To make life easier on Maria and her sweet boy, I drove to Lynchburg and hopped in the car with her to make the trip down. 

We took the most beautiful route and wanted to stop at South of the Border, but decided it would be a tourist nightmare, so that didn't happen.

But we did see a pretty cool sunset. 

The guys got in super late really early Friday morning and slept till around noon.  Maria and I got up, played with the babe, got our workout in all before they woke up.  We decided to grab some lunch at River City Cafe and went to the beach for a few hours before the guys had to go to the field. 

D.J. was scheduled to pitch Saturday, so I didn't take the camera in on Friday. 

Friday after the game, we played mom and dad so Maria and Eric could enjoy a night out in Myrtle Beach.  Their little boy makes it so easy- he fell asleep on the ride home and went right back to sleep when we put in him the pack-n-play.  All babies are that easy right!?

He seriously did such a good job traveling down to South Carolina.  He watched lots of Sesame Street, took a few naps, and had some snack and was good to go!

Saturday we went to breakfast at Cracker Barrel with the guys and were planning on going to the beach again, but decided to take it easy in the room and catch up on some sleep.  

We walked around at Broadway at the Beach before going to the game at 7:00 p.m.

D.J. had a great game - 6.2 innings pitched, 4 hits, 1 run, 2 walks, 1 strikeout and got the win!

 

Whatever it takes to occupy a babe. 

We made one of the guys take a group girls photo for us since we never seem to get one all together! 

Seems to be a common theme on the blog lately - another awesome sunset. 

So thankful to be able to do life with this kid.

And the final picture of the trip, a group photo with the guys!

We got on the road Sunday afternoon around 2 and were hope by 7 to grab some groceries and wait for the guys to get in at 3:30 in the morning. 

I cannot begin to explain how thankful I am to be able to work remotely and see D.J. and the girls every day.  I'll catch you up on how working from home is going for me next week.

Momument 10K

This weekend I crossed another 25 during 25 thing off my list - run a 10K! Friday after work I drove to Richmond to spend the night with Hannah before the big race in the morning. We indulged at Bakers Crust for dinner with mac and cheese appetizer, a big salad, and a delicious crepe with ice cream and all! We fell asleep pretty quick when we got back to Hannah's apartment to get a good nights sleep for the race!

The race started at 8:30 so we woke up around 6:45 to get ready and figure out a way to get down to the race start and find a parking spot.  We left around 7:25 and stayed in the car once we found a place to park.  It was sooooo cold, so we decided staying warm was the best decision.  We went outside around 8:30 when the first heat started and we finally crossed the starting line around 9 a.m. By that time we were ready to get running because of how cold it was.

The run was much easier that I was expecting it to be.  We ran 3.1 miles down one direction and turned around and ran back.  Monument Ave. is a beautiful street.  Lots of people were out cheering us on, offering beer, water, gatorade, and even BACON! I saw lots of hilarious signs and heard the great sounds of the bands that lined the streets.  There was over 10,000 runners in this race, so my only complaint (besides the cold) was how crowded it was.  There wasn't a time where I felt that it thinned out.  I was constantly passing people and being passed.  

I did some what train for this race, but I never ran more than 3.5 miles.  So when I got to around mile 4 and 5, I was surprised on how good my body was feeling! We finished the race in 1:09 and I was so proud of us! We never stopped running and I'm ready to do my next 10K!

After the photos, we went to Continental to enjoy this terribly bad for you delicious french toast breakfast! I hit the road back for Norfolk after breakfast and ended up taking a 4 hour nap before Dad made dinner.  We topped off the night going to see Kingman.  It was decent - I'm glad I only paid $3 to see the movie on base! 

Sunday I went to church at 8 with my aunt and uncle and relaxed till around noon.  Then I spent the afternoon with this cutie and her sister...

and flushed my tight muscles out at hot yoga at 4! 

Looking forward to this four day work week and finding out what team my hubby is going to be on at the end of the week!

25 during 25 January Update

Instead of setting a New Years Resolution, I decided that when I turned 25, I would make a list and check things off that list throughout the year - 25 during 25 is what I'm calling it! I can't wait to continue to see how this list gets crossed off over the next 11 months.

Happy New Year y'all! I hope you were able to ring in 2015 with the ones you love and celebreate with some bubbly.  Check back tomorrow for a full recap of our night in Richmond with our friends from JMU! 

The new year always brings a fresh page of the next 365 day book.  I've seem lots of new years resolutions, words to live by for 2015,  blah blah blah - you name it.  I have been one to do new years resolutions as well, but this year I am deicing to do something different.  Sometimes resolutions work for me, and sometimes they don't, so this year I am going to be doing a 25 during 25! 

Since I turn 25 on January 14, I figure that making a specific list of things I want to do while I am 25 would be a great way to celebrate turning a quarter of a century old! I can't wait to show you all the list in just a few short days when I turn 25!
