Parties, Packing, and News

So it has been a pretty crazy few days for the Johnsons.

Friday, I had the day off from work so I started it off the right way by getting my ass out of bed at 5:15am and enjoying some SYNCcycling and then went to a class that I normally do not do called Rock the Band. Yowza. Freaking resistance bands don’t lie. After, we went to visit our friend Carol and then went to Amys to frost birthday cupcakes for her sons birthday party!!

Saturday, was the big party day, so after a morning workout beat down from Bo, I headed over to Amys to help get more frosting completed and to help her get some party prep accomplished. Here are the pictures of the “Thing 1” cupcakes and the cake I made him.     

  

Check out Amy's Blog on his whole shebang. She did an amazing job with everything.  And the answer is YES, I ate a cupcake, and popcorn, and pecan pretzels, and some carrots to make it healthy. You have to celebrate a first birthday big!! After partying, Levi and I went furniture shopping and purchased a pimped out dining room table for the new house! I am so happy to finally have “big girl” furniture that will last for the duration of our lifetime!!

Sunday, we slept in until 10!!!!!! Happy freaking Easter!! Talk about wasting the day. Sunday is typically our cleaning day and now with the new crib, we have decided to make it a packing day. So we began the daunting task of packing up our lives. Frank and Nora helped as much as they could.                                               

                                                

Stupid cats. You would have thought they were in heaven with all the empty boxes around the house.

All in all it was a good weekend. Then Monday came.

We got some news that wasn't exactly what we were hoping for, so we comforted ourselves the best way we knew how. I made a cake, and we ate a big dinner of chicken parmesan with spaghetti. Honestly, food sometimes makes everything better. In hindsight, the news really doesn't affect our lives too much, it just pushes some timelines back a small amount. No Harm No Foul. The best thing for us right now is to focus on the new house and rock out on the Bar in July.

Way to kill the mood Linds. 

On a lighter note, yesterday I also signed up to run the 2014 Raleigh Rock 'n' Roll Half Marathon. It will be my third half so I know what to expect. However, I am running it with my awesome friend Sara and it will be her first time!! I cant wait to run her into the chute and see the giant smile all over her face full of pride and accomplishment. That was such a good feeling having my girlfriend CBM meet me and run me in to finish my first race!! Here's to kicking ass and running fast Sara!!!

As a final thought,  I leave you with this super funny ecard. 

                 

Do great things...
