Happy Birthday Jessica!

This weekend, I ran a 5K and didn't keel over doing it.  I give some credit to myself and some credit to Jessica, who closed out her 20s with her first 5K run.  We did much better than anticipated (31 minutes, 38 seconds, go us!) and had a ton of fun.  Doing the run with Jessica made it less intimidating, and I love her for that.  I don't have a sister, but I feel so lucky to have the sister-in-law that I do.  She is absolutely the best. 

This morning, I was getting dressed, and Abbey was playing by herself in her room.  She was singing (as usual), and I heard her little voice chirping "Happy birthday Aunt Jessica, happy birthday Aunt Jessica".  So Happy 30th Birthday, we love you!

This is the sign that Jill (Jessica's sister) made for me for the race this weekend.  Our signs honestly helped so much, because they were there at about 2.5 miles, when it started to seem like a good idea to stop running! (We didn't stop.)  Donnie & Jess have some pictures of us all at the run, so maybe I will post those later.  I hear I look abnormally short next to Jessica's (very tall) brother, though, so I'm not sure!
