Back in Alaska!

It is always hard to come home after such an amazing vacation. Family, sun, runs, and my favorite foods... It was a perfect getaway. We arrived back just in time for Jake and my 3rd wedding anniversary.

We had Gavin scheduled to go to daycare that day so that we could have a "date day," but instead he had surgery!  Gavin has had 6 ear infections in the last 4 months, so after seeing an ENT specialist, we decided it was a good idea to get ear tubes placed.

Cutest little patient I ever did see.

He did GREAT in the surgery and was a champ all day.  We're now 10 days post-op, and although he has a cold, he has NO sign of an ear infection which is a first :)

Best Buds, Reunited. 

Making Mom Breakfast. One Omelet, coming up!

It's hard to believe we've already been married 3 years.

The first year of marriage we spent apart while I was in PA school. The second year we got a puppy, sold a house, bought a house, and got pregnant. The third year we were given the greatest gift... Gavin.  It's been an amazing few years, and cliche as it may be, I can't wait to see what else is in store.  Jake's pretty much the best.

I'm one lucky lady.
I thank God every day for this husband!

Jake, you are my favorite.

My sister and I rang in the new year with 15 miles for 2015.

It was a perfect way to start a new year of running!  I wish I could say I had big, lofty goals for the year, but my goal is to run strong, run long, and not get injured.  I hope to run more trail races, and hopefully a marathon or two.  Ultimately, I just want to have a fun time. (Wow, has becoming a mom changed me or what!)

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and New Year!
