Because the people demand pictures

(And by "the people," I clearly mean "one person.")

Last Saturday, Dustin, I, and Friends did the Dirty Dash - a 10K mud run/obstacle course. Now lest you think we are too hard core, it was less of a race and more of a frolic. But we jumped in mud pits, crawled through pipes, waded through a marsh, climbed over hay bales, and got really, ridiculously filthy.

Now, enough of this chitter chatter. Onward!

The start of the race:

Pay careful attention to the color of my shirt. This was the last time it was ever white. Three washes later, I gave up and bid it adieu.

The giant net:

The slip 'n slide:

Finished!

They say a picture says a thousand words, but to me this one mostly says "tired."

I am still finding dirt in my hair, but it was totally worth it. Until next year!

Happy Saturday

Is there anything more disappointing than popping a tube on a bike ride? I submit that there is not. One second, you're flying down the road at 20 mph, and the next...THUNK THUNK THUNK.

But Heather, you're saying, surely you brought a spare. Surely you aren't a fool.

Negative.

But then, you say, surely you brought your phone so you could get a ride home.

Also negative.

Let that be a lesson to you...that's why you always leave a note.

And now, on a happier note...

After going grocery shopping:

Heather: I bought you cheese.

Dustin: This is why we are in love.
