Despite the fact that I had to go back to work this week after an 11-day Easter vacation, I had a very fun-filled week. On Thursday night, I ran the Corporate 5K through downtown Miami with about 20 of my colleagues from work...and 60,000 other people. The ILS faculty finished 3rd in the education category - go us! I took the picture below when we were lined up at the starting line...only in Miami! Take a close look at my tennis shoes, they will never be that clean again...keep reading!
On Friday/Saturday, I made a 20-hour trip to Disneyworld to chaperone 150 seniors at Grad Nite. Disney invites graduating seniors from the state of Florida to an all-night party at Magic Kingdom - I think there were about 40,000 seniors in the park from 8:00 pm until 4:00 am. It is a pretty sweet deal for the chaperones because you get to fast past every ride and finish the “night” with an all-you-can-eat breakfast at the Crystal Palace.
Today I competed in another 5K, the Merrell Down and Dirty Mud Run. This race was epic! We had to complete 6 military style obstacles along the way and crawl through 2 mud pits. Here we are at the finish line - one before we stopped by the “emergency eye-wash station” and one after. I know what you’re probably asking as you read this and the answer is yes, I am crazy!
And just in case that wasn’t enough fun and adventure for one week, Roger and I have been busy trying to buy a house. We put an offer on a house about a week ago and accepted the bank’s counteroffer last Wednesday. Now we're just trying to finalize everything so we can close within 30 days. The whole process of house hunting/house buying has been pretty stressful so far - please pray that the next 30 days are less stressful and that everything works out with this house.
