Doesn't this just make you happy???

It's my happy place for the month...

Not much going on around here... Just hangin' out. ;) It's spring break, so poor Greg is working hard while I'm pulling half-days, and Katsu's just being a mooch as usual. I've been taking Katsu on car rides when I go out to grab lunch or run a quick errand. This "little" dude loves his car rides! (Picture from a few weekends ago.)

Like I said, just a ho-hum week. Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining. I'd take a slow, spring day over a fast-paced one any time. Just not much to report. Sure wish Greg could stay home with us, though!

Wedding in t-minus 3 and 1/2 months and counting!!!

Daisy, Daisy, Give Me Your Answer, Do...

Sometimes you just have to take the time to stop and smell the roses... or fake daisies in this case.

And then, when you think no one is looking...
You eat them!
(What a romantic!)

Girl's Day in Hawaii

Happy Girl's Day!

Great Aloha Run

Well, we did it! We participated in the 25th Annual Great Aloha Run, which was our first time running this 8.15-mile race, and actually accomplished our goals...

1. Don't stop running!

2. Finish under 1h 30min

Here's the evidence!

Before...

After!!!

Here are our finishing times...

Mike 1:21:01

Greg: 1:21:55

Ash: 1:21:58

Can't say we weren't tired, though! Greg and I took two naps during the day, and were in bed by 10pm (two hours earlier than normal for us). What a day, though. We'll wear our "Finisher" shirts with pride!

(Sorry the pics aren't so great, they were taken on the iPhone.)

My Week (Thus Far) In Pictures...

Superbowl Sunday... Or in my fiance's words, "football, football, football, football" (**insert drool from corner of mouth)

Monday I had off. Spent it cleaning. Watching an episode of Lost was my reward. (View from master bedroom.)

Chicken saltimbocca, prepared by my loving fiance, who not only cooked, but walked the dog and went grocery shopping. (Only error - couldn't find the right cheese for this 5-star recipe, so inserted mozerella string cheese instead. Classic! Tasted awesome, though.)

The "Manah Manah" muppets... see one post prior to this one.

P.F. Chang's for dinner. Yum!

Saw this clip on another blogger's site, and had to add it. Poor Gladys must be related to my mom's side of the family... bless her heart. :)

**update**
I know... it's the day of the youtube videos, but had to post this one. I dedicate it to my Dad, not only so he doesn't feel left out (see post above), but also because he and I used to ALWAYS sing this when I was little. Yes, I am a muppet-raised child.
