This weekend was full of things to be celebrated…
1. I (mostly) ran my first race. It was the 4.02 mile Trolley Run, which starts in Waldo (my neighborhood) and follows the old Trolley line to the Plaza. It was raining the whole time. I set a personal record…which is probably a normal pace for a speed walker, but it was still awesome.
2. I actually made something I pinned on Pinterest…Creamy Tomato, Basil, Garlic, and Cheese Tortellini soup. It was delish!
3. I took my last final and turned in my last paper of grad school! I still have to give a final to my students this week, but as of Friday, I am D.O.N.E! I cannot WAIT to cross “get a masters degree” off my goals list!
What things did you accomplish this weekend that should be celebrated? Turk wants to celebrate the fact that he has broken our resolve and forevermore claimed the couch cushions as his own.
I’ll probably be light on posting this week as I am prepping the house for my graduation party this weekend and catching up on grading stuff for my students…but I’ll be back next week with a vengeance!

YIPPEE!!!! Those are three super great and terrifically PAWSOME accomplishments, Miss Emily. I’m proud of you. AND I’m proud of Turk, too.
Let’s see…what can I celebrate? Oh! Mom said this week that I know how to tell time! But it’s not that hard since there are only three times: Breakfast time, Dinner time and Walkie time!
Wiggles & Wags,
