Creative Title Goes Here.

I'm back, the lazy blogger that I am. I took a break from life in general the past couple of weeks, due to the ridiculous heat. Any time I wasn't at work, I was here at home, sitting not on the bird couch, but standing in front of the one window air conditioner we have in the living room. Good times.
It's cooled down to a balmy 85-ish now though, so I can go out in the world again. (Keep in mind however, 85 doesn't sound that bad, but that's about 105 in pregnant-degrees!!)
This past weekend was great- Joe ran in a 5K race in Flint, MI with his running group from Switzerland. (Well,actually, they're mostly from Michigan and Ohio, but they met in Switzerland.) I was excited to get to go with him and meet these people who I have heard so many great stories about! And yes, they were as nice and fun as Joe said they were.
The race went well, Joe ran it in 29-ish minutes ( i forget the actual down-to-the-second time). The weather was awesome, in the 70's and cloudy, so it wasn't too hot. It rained on and off, but not enough to keep us from having a good time. I stayed on the sides and watched everyone else run. Obviously. I mean, really, when have I ever been known to run anywhere, with the exception of through the mall on a good sale day, such as the day after Thanksgiving?!
They do have a 5K walk, however, and I think I'd probably do that next year. I think I may have actually done it this year, because I'm pretty certain that we parked a good 4 miles away from the starting line....I'm definitely not the speed-walker I was this time last year. This baby really slows me down.

Speaking of the baby, I'm up to 30 weeks now (and I"m sure, at least as many pounds gained!) I learned last week that one of the doctors in the practice left the office, so now 3 doctors are handling the patients for 4. I'm sure that will make for a nice long wait at my appointment tomorrow. I have one more ultrasound, tomorrow morning. I'll try to remember to not be lazy and scan in those pictures!

The next few days are work, work, and then more work. Joe's back into football full-swing, and getting a great tan from it, I have to say! I'm a little jealous of that.
We're headed up to the UP (that's Upper Peninsula, for those of you not familiar with Michigan-speak.) for a wedding, so I'll blog when we get back. Have a great holiday weekend!
This is a photo of Joe and his running club (minus the two people from New York and Florida). I tried to load more pictures, but blogger is being difficult tonight, so we'll have to settle for just one.

Welcome back! I'm glad you've updated. Pretty bad when Kara has a new entry and you didn't. Bad news - it's supposed to be super hot again Wed., but not for as many days. Does Joe have any pix of his travels that he'd like to share with bloggerville?

Nice to have you back. Imagine my surprise to find not 1 but 2 entries today when I checked. Nice looking team but are you SURE Joe ran? He is the only one I can see without a number on him. And regarding the baby comments, it will probably get worse the further you go.And be ready for the "no baby yet?" in about 2 months. That is also fun to hear. Have fun in the UP--never been there but have heard lots of nice things.Aunt Jenni

YEA!! Lori updated her blog!! Are any of the guys in the photo Joe's roommate (can't remember his name...but it was weird!)? Just curious.
