I am a Color Runner...

I am a Color Runner…

Not to be mistaken for a REAL runner, which I am not.

The Color Run, which is dubbed “The Happiest 5K on the Planet” is a 5K run, walk, jog, dance… and every so often you are covered in different color paint.

This was the start line....and we were in the LAST wave. They were playing some kick ass tunes while we waited and throwing beach balls and frisbees so the waiting was not all bad

Check out the video, you can totally get a vibe of how it was. They also played music at each paint station too

Blue, Orange, Pink and Yellow.

 No it is not liquid paint – it was more of a ground down chalky substance, which FYI tastes gross.

The only requirements are to have fun, and wear a white shirt….and any other crazy thing you can find – we just went with crazy socks.

I brought my phone through the run because we wanted some fun photos - clearly we took thi race seriously

 

With your registration packet they also give you paint to hold until your get to the finish line, it looks something like this…

Of course when we crossed the finished line we needed victory photos...

 ...and a victory beer. Duh.

I also totally judged those who were not covered in paint.

Definitely doing this race...err fun run again. I am actually doing the "Graffiti Run" in December - same concept, can't wait!

 

This Weekend...

This weekend I….

 Went to dinner with Oh Hey its J while she was in town and met some new friends

Also while I was waiting on said friends I saw a flash mob proposal – small mob but adorable nonetheless!

Saturday hubs and I went to my nephew’s soccer game, and they got trophies! I totally miss trophies…

 We also mailed off my passport so my name can get changed on it before we leave for MEXICO!!

 Sunday was filled with paint and soccer!

The Color Run was Sunday morning and super pumped the weather held off. Such a fun race. If you have not head of it, it is a 5K race where you get paint thrown on you. Sounds like fun right?!?! I am really excited now for the Graffiti Run we are doing in December.

Sunday afternoon was filled with one last Dynamo game, and they capped it off with a WIN! I will have to cheer them on at home when they hopefully bring the MLS Cup back to Houston!

I was exhausted Sunday night and spent the evening in bed…with a bowl of Blue Bells Christmas Cookie ice cream. BUY IT.

More on the Color Run too...because I have awesome photos to share

Red Starbucks Cup...

 I fill you up 

Let's have a party, let's have a party  

 I love you red Starbucks cup, I lift you up  

Proceed to party, proceed to party

 Red solo cup, you're more than just paper 

  You're more than amazing you're more than fantastic  

And believe me that I'm not the least bit sarcastic  

when I look at you and say...

 
"Red solo cup, you're not just a cup. (No, no, God no!)  

You're my, you're my (friend?) friend. (life long!) Thank you for being my friend."
Red Starbucks cup, I fill you up 

Let's have a party, let's have a party 

I love you red Starbucks cup, I lift you up 

 Proceed to party, proceed to party

Ahhh so excited that these little guys are back in the Starbucks rotation, can you tell? I am convinced that these little cups of joy make my coffee taste better. 

Hope everyone has a fantastic weekend, I have 9 Christmas card sessions tomorrow, 1 on Sunday morning then off to root on the Houston Dynamo in their playoff game!

This weekend...

This weekend....hubs and I played softball on Friday night wont the championship and went out for wings after our 2 victories.

...we also went furniture shopping on Saturday, which was a complete FAIL. Pretty sure the sales guy at Ashley furniture was laughing at us, anything I liked B did not and vice versa - back to the drawing board!

...I was successful at finding a dress for this coming weekends wedding in Ft. Worth!

...B and I also met up with Savanah and her soon-to-be hubs at the Texans grill to watch some football - good times!

...Sunday morning I got up and played soccer, and now have a bum ankle, but I did get to enjoy brunch after.

...I also shot a maternity session late afternoon on Sunday - sneaks to come!

...after my maternity session I snuggled with the kitty in bed!
