Just Like Butter: Sore thighs and other random weekend stuff

It has been a pretty excellent 72 hours! Today we got our LID (log-in date)......which means we are officially eligible to receive a referral for a child and will be eligible for the May match. The date our dossier was logged in actually was 4/27 but we didn't find out until today. Don't know if we will be matched but actually being able to be is a huge psychological milestone.

I did the Lucky Bucket Run Saturday night as well. That is where the whole sore thighs title comes from....just in case you were wondering. It was a good time. I saw someone running in a full gorilla costume go down hard in a mud pile. That was pretty awesome, and I kept running. She was okay. I'm pretty sure it was a she because it had a seashell bra on. I guess it could have been a cross-dressing gorilla. We'll never know. Anyway.......I finished the 7K and it was a pretty tough trail run. This was a preview of the course.

I did get to run through several small streams and then pull myself up steep embankments with a rope. It was challenging for me and I got a good idea of where my fitness was and wasn't. Here we are with our co-running couple post-race. They all did much better than me but I did finish!We look much cleaner than we actually are. Fun time if anyone is interested next year!

Our kitchen remodel is progressing.......slowly. We did reach the official "I want to burn this renovation down" point the middle of last week. That usually comes a few weeks in to any renovation around here. I cried, Adam mumbled through his teeth, but we moved past it after
about 4 days of feeling sorry for ourselves and have accomplished quite a lot. Completion photos hopefully soon. I did end up cooking food for an entire baby shower with all of my kitchen stuff in this organizational state.
