From bonnets to high heels...
Isn't it funny how things can change so drastically over time?
When once I wanted nothing more than to wear bonnets and prairie dresses and have tea parties with my dolls, now i'm in love with going downtown in my cute high heels and painting the town red with my friends =) And one of my favorite people to do this with is my very own cousin Tilly (and Nate, but i don't think he's a big fan of the wearing high heels part!). Instead of being in completely different phases of our lives (i.e. the bonnets), as we have always been up until now, we're now able to enjoy the same things such as going to horse races and having no clue how to bet on the horses, going on road trips to Hawaii (okay maybe not this, but still, it was a good thought ;-), sing in our band "Tilly and the Deuster Streudels," throw rooftop bar birthday parties for each other, eat too much cheese, run 5K's together, stay up all hours of the night playing Tetris, Wii & Cranium, dance our famous "worldwide dance" on the beach, drink pomegrate martinis, use abbreves 24/7 and know exactly what we're talking about, i could go on...
Anyway, one of the coolest thing about it all is that Nate, Tilly and i have become the greatest of friends in the whole process of living down here in San Diego together. I'm really going to miss them...

Iron Girl 10K Run
Within the first month of moving down to San Diego in 2007, i decided to fulfill one of my dreams by running a 10K (i'd love to run a 1/2 marathon in the near future). I signed up for the Iron Girl run along Solana Beach, which, let's face it, you can't go wrong running along the beach... It was everything i had hoped for. i made it a point to run it every year since then, so just last Sunday i ran it for the 3rd time, and this time i ran the entire time which i was super proud of =) Though i got a completely late start (i was one of the last to begin!) and the mile markers were all confusing so i never actually knew which mile i was on, it was so rewarding to run it again!
