I'm signed up for the Santa Barbara Half Marathon in May, and am hoping to get a spot again for the Napa to Sonoma Half in July. It sold out in 17 minutes last year, so I'm not sure I can get that lucky two years in a row. Such a beautiful route! I am also signed up for the Naperville Women's Half on April 23rd...only to find out my husband's niece is getting married in Arizona on the 22nd. Last year was the first annual and it was fantastic. I'm going to see if they allow bib transfers if you or any of your followers are interested...I also put my name in the lottery for Chicago this year. It will be my 5th consecutive, which will give me legacy for future years. So...I will see about Grandma's.

Also with you on the Cubs. I grew up in Northern Illinois and was raised in a family that loved the Cubs - so happy to see them finally pull it off. I am aware of snapchat and it seems that is how my son communicates with all his friends. I've considered getting on it but I don't even know who I would snapchat with...isn't text messaging easier? lol, I must be oldKellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14160984082012790377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2647157930116406632.post-82760153238983015212016-11-05T19:20:45.861-05:002016-11-05T19:20:45.861-05:00I'm sorry for your hubs...but oh my gosh, this...I'm sorry for your hubs...but oh my gosh, this has just been the best!Wendy at Taking the Long Way Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09934786207724059919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2647157930116406632.post-66502408711752478972016-11-05T19:20:04.643-05:002016-11-05T19:20:04.643-05:00I just can't handle another social media platf...I just can't handle another social media platform!Wendy at Taking the Long Way Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09934786207724059919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2647157930116406632.post-13969836801952251802016-11-05T14:55:03.122-05:002016-11-05T14:55:03.122-05:00I am loving the mild fall and am definitely not re...I am loving the mild fall and am definitely not ready for winter!

I love the crisp cool air and clear skies, the changing of the leaves, and of course Halloween (my and my youngest son's birthdays)! I am LOVING finding all of these things we have in common~~PNP/NNP and such a shared sarcastic sense of humor! Also a die-hard Cubs fan since Day 1! I was alone in my hotel watching Game 7 and screamed so loud with that final run. My oldest son might be his generation's biggest fan ever. He lives behind Cubby Bear and can see Wrigley from his roof. He has probably been to 30 games this year. He just walks up on the day of the game and gets tickets at face value. I also love that he lives there, because he gets parking passes for street parking so when we go to games we can park a block or two from the field! (I can send you a pass the next time you go!) This same son is engaged to a girl I love as my own...loving that too! What I'm not (and never) loving is the fact that somehow, in this bleed Cubbie blue family, our middle son is a Cardinals fan. What??? He has loved them since he was 8 years old. He also lives in Wrigleyville and at least had the decency to be genuinely happy that they won. I am also loving my entry into the world of running, blogging about running, and especially the yoga challenge on IG! I can just as easily give you a whole laundry list of the things I am NOT loving these days (including my job...I would lay odds on you and I dealing with the same crap). But I choose to focus on the positive...The Accidental Marathonerhttp://www.theaccidentalmarathoner.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2647157930116406632.post-224489812563498222016-11-04T19:04:57.744-05:002016-11-04T19:04:57.744-05:00I'm so afraid another team will steal him!
