So I think its fair to say that I'm addicted to running!  It's crazy to think, this one time smoker would one day be running half marathons and setting goals to push myself a little further each time I go out, but there is something about it that I miss on the days I don't run.  If I hear certain songs that are on my playlist while driving in the car, I want to run!  
Add to that addiction a little...

So we took a few weeks off with vacations and all, but Jill and I are back with our team up thursday. This week we did "me time"  I love how this week our pictures are total opposites.  One of kicking back and enjoying some wine and the other of getting out and running, both of which I enjoy doing.
 
 

Have you seen it?  I have and I think I'm in love... though I'm still trying to be skeptical about it? Would I use it enough to justify the purchase?
I mostly want it for books, but the fact that it can do so many other things is a plus!  I was forever waiting on the price of the kindle to come down, but now this makes me question the kindle? My house is being taken over by all the books I have,...

This week has been all about Zach!  
Lot's of activity going on in his life this summer!  For starters he went for an interview at Giant Eagle and got the job!  Now he works there along with his sister and both cousins!
 
then on Friday we went to Tried and True tattoo and Zach got his first tattoo.  Something he's been talking about and planning on for quite a while now.  He wanted to...

On Friday morning we had breakfast reservations at the castle in the country of Norway in Epcot. We had a great time and a great breakfast, and while it was about the Princesses of Disney, we were more entertained by our waitress.  In all the countries of Epcot the people that work their come from that country.  So we were educated by our adorable waitress of some interesting things about Norway,...

So on Wednesday evening we head back to Orlando for two more days at Disney.  We checked into a new hotel and couldn't wait to check things out!

I got some shots of the room, but they don't do it justice!  We got adjoining rooms 

And Thursday morning we were off to Magic Kingdom

 


We've seen the Lion King every time we've gone to Disney and it's just...

on vacation recap! How does that happen? 
Anyhow, Tuesday and Wednesday we spent in Fort Myers visiting my brother in law who just moved to Florida last September.
We got our hotel right on the beach, something I've always wanted to do!

Ahh, so Monday evening in Disney we had a blast!  We went to this dinner show that had us laughing the entire time!

 If you've never heard of it, you can read more about it here
During the show they asked about birthday's and anniversaries.  The kids and Jane (my mother in law) raised their hands.  One of the cast came over to our table to find out the anniversary info. They then shared with...

and it's only Monday!
Wow, when I look back at these pictures I can't believe how much we did in one day!  It was probably one of my favorite days we spent on vacation.  
We started our morning arriving at Hollywood Studios before 9am, which was even nicer because only Disney resort guests could get in.  So we glided by the crowds in line and showed our resort key to get in and took off to our...
