In more than one way I'm on the road again.
I have gotten back into a regular running schedule recently and am feeling really great about it. It seems that everything is easier to deal with when you have miles of pavement ahead of you and no distractions.
I also have been/will be out of town more than usual. Eric and I had a fabulous vacation while he was home. Last week I spent the end of the week in Knoxville for work. In the next couple of months I have 3 DC trips planned and a number of Birmingham trips. I am also hoping to get at least one beach trip in!!
I also have my 10 year high school reunion in two weeks!! I am excited about seeing everyone, but I am also a little nervous about going without Eric. I always imagined him going with me and seeing what everyone that I grew up around is like. Its disappointing that he will miss it, but hopefully it will still be a good time.
I am hoping that all of my road time, both on foot and otherwise, will help the time pass a lot faster. Eric will be home the day before my 29th birthday. I hope we are able to plan at least one trip to see each other before he comes home.

Catching Up
I hate that I have not been better about keeping up with the blog. Every time I think about it I think "I don't have the pictures I want to post" or "I don't have time to write everything" and then I get even further behind.
There has been a lot going on. July flew by...I spent the 4th with mom and dad by the pool at their house, the following weekend mom, dad, Hillary and Heath helped me get my yard back to a presentable state, and the following Friday Eric came home for his R&R.
It was fabulous having Eric home! We went to Sonoma and San Francisco the first week he was home. We stayed at the Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn & Spa while we were in Sonoma...it was an exceptional experience! We visited several vineyards, among my favorites were Benziger and BR Cohn. Benziger practices biodynamic farming and is a fantastically beautiful property; it was almost as fun learning about their sustainable practices as it was drinking the wine!
San Francisco was unbelievable (and unseasonably) cold. We bought jackets and sweatshirts just to try to stay warm. We stayed in the Westin St. Francis. We were just off of Union Square in the middle of incredible shopping and sites. We spent a lot of time just taking and catching up from the last 3 months.
On the plane on the way home I started feeling bad and unfortunately I spent the last week Eric was home really sick.
Eric is back in Amman now and I'm about 90% well. I started training again today and am looking forward to getting back into a routine.
