GP Wedding and Crab Apples

My best buds from the UK (NOW OFFICIALLY HERE!!! YAY!!) stopped by for a visit. As you can see, my crab apple situation was in a heightened state of emergency, thus I equipped my good friends with special footwear to save their shoes and their pants!!!


Yup! I sho' do things in style, here in the Crowsnest Pass!! LMAO!!!!!

As they were leaving, Cath turned back and said, "Julie! This is definitely a first in my life!" Hahahahahahahahaha!!






Want to come vist me in the fall? Remember your plastic shopping bags! LOL!!



Here's a pic of Mikey and me at a wedding in Grande Prarie two weeks ago...




This is one of the few times you'll see me with war paint and hair *done.* LOL!!!


The Grande Prairie trip was actually pretty good -- apart from the 22 hours of driving there and back...Keith called Mike's cell every hour or so with updates on the Ironman World Championships; and on the morning of the wedding, Amber picked me up and I joined her and her group for a great run.


AWESOME fun!!! Amber gave me one of her "Women of Strength" toques -- I need to take a pic of this -- it is sooooo awesome. We ran back and forth among her gals and chatted the whole way. Amber pushed me -- she is a great training partner and person in general. :) :) She is one of those people like I feel I have known my whole life. I've never talked so much on a run in my life -- but I was pushing myself the entire time too. :) :)


As for training -- had an hour and a half hilly run to do on Sunday and did the Frank hill 4 times and a little bit!!!! I totally beat my record from earlier this year -- Sara is turning me into a runner -- believe it or not! Hahahahahahahaha!!!

Hahahaha, that "special" footwear wasn't to save their shoes, IT WAS TO SAVE YOUR FLOOR!!!

If that's the hill I'm thinking of, it's a total killer. Congrats on your improvement!

Does Mike have his hand on your bum??!! Perv...

Seriously, you two clean up good!!

Keith said...

Of course Mike's hand is on her bum. He's just as fascinated with it as we (and Julie) are, and (lucky him) he's allowed to touch it.

It was so awesome to run/chat with you. That 90mins flew by!! I really think you and Mike should move up here stat. Once the Multiplex is done I will really have some leverage! haha.
I told Darin that I was going to find a way...
