My friends and I went to Communal one night while I was there. Ironically, the make-up of this photo has changed quite a bit since that dinner...
Two of the marriages depicted have ended, one couple has added a baby, and one couple has gotten married (us). Crazy how much things can change in a very short year.
March brought a lot of good running. Ken and I ran the Rex Lee 10K in Provo. Later in the month, Ken came out to DC and we ran the National Half Marathon, which was an amazing course snaking all through DC. He was on track for beating his 1/2 marathon PR but woke up race morning with the flu. So sad! I set off on the race and didn't think I'd see him til I got home.. Instead he popped in and *ran* as much as he could with me. It was a nice change since we usually don't run our races together (I'm slow).
One random story from March, I misread an email at work about an upcoming "Jeans Day." On Thursday, I arrived at work in jeans. I quickly noticed I was the only one in less than business casual. Apparently jeans day was Friday. Oops! A quick stop into JCrew's clearance section before the group meeting fixed the situation...
I suppose I should mention that March was a very busy work month with the March 15 filing deadline and I spent most evenings and Saturdays in the office. One ray of sunlight amidst that gloom? Finding an open spot next to my brother's car. How many people are lucky enough to work with their brothers? Even though I don't see him every single day, it's a comfort to know he's there.
Most notably, March brought butterflies and excitement as Ken and I decided it was time to move forward and get married. (Actually I think it was the end of February when we started setting that in motion?) As we began working towards that goal, we both felt amazing progress and transformation in other areas of our lives; it was a grand cosmic click into place. Ken invited his family into the process at this time and they were very kind and welcoming towards me. Huzzah!
Oh and as you may remember I already posted about books and movies and weddings and cookies, where to go in DC and some things I'd like to learn.
(Speaking of that learn list, after 9 months I've only knocked 1.5 off the list... They are basically all still outstanding. Maybe resolving those should be a 2011 resolution??)
