This past weekend was a fun but busy one full of old friends, exciting new things, races and the outdoors.
We were surprised but happy to get a call that my friend from childhood through college was in town and hoping to move to the Boston area. We were able to meet up for dinner with Rori and her boyfriend Denver. It was a great time with lots of memories and funny stories!!
We had a fun day Saturday going to Becky's husband's rugby match (game?) not sure what the termage is there :o) But I was so happy to find out that one of Becky's students that I teach Science was there with his parents. I had brought Meli along for the outing and it was so fun introducing one of my favorite little guys to her. He is Deaf and Autistic and was very nervous at first but ended up loving her. She was on her best behavior which was a relief :o)
On Sunday Mike had a memorial 5k race in honor of a brother of one his friends who passed away. The majority of his running team (RTK) turned up for the event and dominated 4 out of the top 5 places. Mike took 5th running a 16:30
.
Then it was off to do some hiking in the nearby state park. Meli doesn't get much time off leash (or outdoors for that matter) so this particular event was very exciting for her. She just kept running back and forth like- I'm not going to get into trouble for this???? :o) haha very cute and a fun/cold hike.
We did have a small scare when Simba decided that he needed to take off chasing some unknown creature. We could hear his bark getting fainter and fainter and didn't know what to do. It was a torturous 10 minutes or so before he made his way back, tumbling through the bushes. Needless to say the dogs were on leash the rest of the way. Wheew...
So all in all, a crazy fun weekend with lots of outdoor fun- I know Meli is still recovering... Gotta love this time of year.

Hey Abby...How's Boston life? This blog thing is cool, fun to be able to keep up with old friends and see how they're doing. Sounds like you, Mike and the dogs are doing great! Our dog wouldn't be caught dead in the water...it is the bain of her existence....but she loves the snow, weird dog but gotta love em.
Abby thanks for leaving a comment on my blog. I love finding old friends and seeing how everyone is doing? You are still as darling as I remember. I have always wanted to visit Boston. Sounds like you have a fun and busy life.
