Running. Aurora. Poop.

This week seemed to tick by incredibly slow. Perhaps it is because we have been waiting days for a good friend to have her baby. Or maybe its because this is the first full week that my husband is back in class & internship. For whatever the reason, I've finally made it to the weekend.

Here's a recap of my interesting week. Zack through out an idea to me for a new years resolution. I'm not 100% committed to the resolution yet, but I am working towards it just in case I decide to fully commit. Here's what it is: to run 1,000 miles in one year. This would be a HUGE accomplishment, but also a humungous challenge. With the Michigan weather being so fickle, this alone will make it rough. One thousand miles in one year is just over 3 miles per day, ah! I'll be sure to keep you updated on what I decide to do with this challenge.

Meet Aurora Elise Meagher, or better known as Rori. She is the newest addition to the Meagher family and is PRECIOUS! Brian & Kelly have been good friends of ours since we first met as freshmen in college. Its a little surreal to have friends with a baby! We've got a couple other friends who have kids but Brian and Kelly are the first from our college class and friend group. Zack & I were able to meet baby Rori when she was only 15 hours or so old! Look at how beautiful she is!  

 

(Yes, we may look cute with a baby, but please do not get any ideas. There's no baby Tracy coming for quite some time.)

 

Now for the POOP. Having Charlie (our puppy) around is so fun! He is great company, and is turning into a great dog. However, having him around really messes with my morning routine. Most days I have to let him out to go potty even before I get in the shower. It also takes a bit longer to get around in the morning. I have to feed all three pets, make sure Charlie doesn't chew anything he isn't suppose to, and take him out twice all while trying to get reach for work, eat breakfast, and pack my lunch. This morning I was in a bit of a hurry, as usual. Well, lets just say the it took me until about 10am to realize I had dog poop on the bottom of my pant leg. NOT COOL. All morning, I thought I was smelling something funky in my office and I couldn't figure out why. Oops. Luckily, I was able to wash the bottom of the pant leg in the bathroom sink, and hoped that my coworkers would just assume my pants were wet from the snow :)
