I bet Train was really good in concert. 🙂
French Toast is so good, isn’t it?!
Train was great! A little cinnamon sprinkled on the French toast is my secret weapon!
Thank you! I will get to this soon! My next few days are a bit crazy…
I LOVE that you wrote I grew up on a dairy farm. as your first one… I’m originally from Wisconsin so it definitely connected me back to home 🙂
Whoa, I just saw this!! Thank you! That is awesome that you grew up on a dairy farm. My mom grew up in Canada and always told me that the only childhood she was ever jealous of were farmers/ranchers.
Hello from your newest follower! This is my first time visiting your blog 🙂 Followed the link from Stephanie’s (Now I Run) Liebster award nomination for you. I think it’s so cool that you grew up on a dairy farm! My husband is a dairy farmer (we lived on the farm for about 3 years), my best friend’s family has a dairy farm, and my cousins used to farm dairy until they switched to beef. I’m about as close to dairy farming without actually milking the cows as you get.
I also met my husband freshman year of college. How funny!
Thank you for following me, fellow Hokie! I’ll pop over to your blog and snoop around! 🙂
Hey I’m Julie’s roommate, Becky! I saw that Elizabeth from My Neon Running Shoes nominated you – so cool!! I could also listen to red hot chili peppers all day and I watch HGTV all the time! Also, one of my dogs is half maltese/half poodle and doesn’t shed one hair! It’s soooo nice!
Hi Becky, thanks for stopping by my blog! Joseph told me that you (and Kelly, too, maybe) have blogs, but I didn’t know the name. I’ll pop over and take a look! How is your training going for your half-marathon in April? Good luck!
Thanks!! 🙂 It’s going pretty good!! I’m just ready for it to be warm outside so we can do more runs outside instead of on the treadmill! I was able to do a few runs outside during spring break and I forgot the wind factor haha.
Are you running in the “3.2 Mile Run in Remembrance?” If so, I’m sure Bill and I will see you there! Enjoy your last semester as an undergrad!
Thanks for nominating me! I will try to get to this by tomorrow.
Wow, look at all the dairy farmers you’ve added to your readership! 🙂
I’m wondering about question 6 to your nominees…are you asking if they’ve toured a war ship? Or asking if they’ve ever run with our running group? 😉
I’m not a nominee…probably because I’m not even a blogger, but I feel compelled to answer question 8. I’ll be running my 2nd Rock n Roll USA half marathon today! 🙂 That’s why I’m reading and commenting on your blog at 4:30 am.
You are going to rock the Rock ‘N’ Roll Half-Marathon!!! Good luck today!
Heading out to run 12-15 with Beth (fingers crossed). I just made a correction to question #6! Oops! Obviously, I always have the Cruisers on my mind! 🙂
I love it! All the Cruisers had rockin races today! And Kim and I saw Mr. Incredible!!!
