Katie and Andrea's Day of FUN

This is what I do when I feel extremely happy! Can you believe I can jump that high? Look Amy, its almost like the pictures you take of Jonathan! I think he can jump much higher than me :)


This blog is a long time coming. My cousin Andrea and I ran the Running of the Green, the St. Patrick's Day race in downtown Denver. We always have so much fun together and this day was another in a long line of fun running memories. Andrea was cracking me up as she mimicked serious runners warmups and just acted like a goofball all around. So these t-shirts have a story all their own....

Just in case you didn't already know this about Andrea and I...we are SO worth it! I saw this shirt at the volleyball tournament at the convention center and Andrea and I thought it was great. What a good reminder to yourself and it this particular moment in my life, it was just the reminder I needed:) Andrea thought the green shirt would be perfect for our race and the rest was history. We had some interesting comments by people about our shirts. Overall we felt great about ourselves and had so much fun. I was a bit disappointed when a guy on the street said, hey I like your shirt and you are worth it. I responded with "Oh, thank you." He looked at me and said, "Not you, I was talking about her," as he motioned to Andrea. It was hilarious.
Andrea could not resist the urge to take home this sign...

I tried to pretend as if I didn't know her as she took the sign down. She reminded me later that everyone knew I was with her, we were in matching outfits. I have never laughed so hard as I did walking with Andrea carrying that sign through downtown. After we reached the car we took tons of photos jumping in the air like leprechauns...see this blogs first photo. Here is Andrea...


After we got back to her house we tried to recreate the magic for the family.
What a fun day. It is days like these I feel so blessed. Thank God for days like this.

Katie, this was so funny. I have to admit that I am a little jealous that Andrea is taking my place on the running circuit :) She is in Colorado though, that is probably more condusive to getting to hang out with you! BTW, you've got some serious hops in that picture. I have our shadow picture of us clicking our heels in my room. It always makes me smile

Oh, Nicole you can never be replaced. The heel clicking starts with us, sometimes you just have to pass that joy along to others :) I feel the same way when I read about you and Adam training for a marathon together. Since you live with him I guess I understand that too :) Are you guys coming for the Bolder Boulder? Heel clicking for all!

I am really jealous too because I loved running that race last year! Your tshirts are amazing, Katie:)! I would have to agree w/ Nicole too, you've got hops dear - maybe even more so than Jonathan (but don't tell him I told you) :)!
