Wicked Wednesday!!

Today I took my mom to see Wicked for her birthday. I had never seen it before and she had not either so I thought it would be a good surprise. It was amazing!! I know a lot of you may have seen it already since its been out for a couple years, but if you have not, I highly recommend it!! I am just so impressed with how talented the cast and the music and just everything!! I really did not know what to expect as far as the storyline goes...but it really gives such a good message.

For all you runners...

I was really excited when I saw that a movie about the 2005 Chicago Marathon (my first one) was going to be at the theatres on my 30th bday!! Well, of course, it sold out :( I was totally bummed. But, I checked the next day and because of popular demand, there was an encore presentation this past thursday. I was so pumped and got my ticket right away. Ryan was in town and joined me. Let me tell you...it was amazing. It was a documentary but more like a movie about where marathons started and the background of some of the olympians and just average runners. It really brought back lots of emotion and of course....it makes me want to do another one. So, for all you runners, here is the link about the movie, with the trailer. The soundtrack is on Itunes. It will be coming out on DVD soon as well. Just thought I would share. I give it 10 stars!!!!!!

Weekend at Ohio State University

This weekend Ryan and I had a quick trip to Colombus for a wedding. I am not an Ohio State Fan (sorry) but for those who are I am sure it would have been like heaven. The hotel was actually on campus and the reception was at the arcitectural school building. It was a neat experience. The bride and groom are big fans!! The rehearsal dinner was at the stadium with a special guest appearance: the Ohio State mascot!! The wedding colors? Hmm, the Ohio State colors!!! The bride was born and raised in Brazil so it was cool to hear some of the wedding in Porteuguese. The weather was great!! Not one single spec of white in sight. NO SNOW!! I saw the grass and trees again. Overall, we had a great time. On the way home, we stopped in Bryan, Ohio to see one of Ryan's high school friends who just moved there. Now, its back to the grind. And did I mention, back to negative zillion degrees? Brrr.....I did not take too many pictures, but here are a few:

Ryan, Charlotte and Me

Fernanda and her Dad

Winter Blues

Ok, so I walked outside to my car the other day and.........I HATE WINTER!!!
So, maybe that is not my car but that's pretty close to all this nasty weather we have been having. When will it all be over?

I am sorry I have not had any updates recently. I got sick last week, missed work and now getting back into the swing of things. Ryan and I have a wedding Ohio this weekend so I will post some pics after we get back. Hope you are all doing well. Have a great weekend. Stay warm :)
