Felon?

This weekend was a very good weekend for us. Ryan took me out to his job that has officially finished! He has been there since it was dirt on the ground and all the way until now with this 140 million dollar job, parking lot, landscaping, and 3 fountains! I am so proud of his hard work and so impressed! Just the concept of starting from the beginning, step by step, gives me major anxiety! Here are some pictures I snuck! Yes, I had to sneak them. This building is on the arsenal and after I took pictures we went into Ryan's office. Next thing we knew, we were SURROUNDED by lights and cop cars. They sat there and looked over my shoulder while I deleted them. Boo! I had to get written up for taking pictures of the building! Its a government building with lots of top secret things! OOPS! The cops were laughing about it when they realized they saw me in the hard hat, and was not a felon. They did show me a place I could secretly take pictures if the security guard didnt see me! Ha, way to protect our country cops! Oh well, makes for a good story! Oh and the top picture is a year ago in the middle of this creation! Way to go Ryan Maxwell! I am so proud of you!

Team Harbro

We did it! We all finished the 10k! It was hard, but so fun to finish with our good friends! We started the training together. We picked up our race numbers and packets on Saturday. I was 19 Ryan was 20.

Joey and Ryan were NOT happy we had signed them up for this. They have come up with every excuse in the BOOK not to do this race. Sick, hurt, rain, cold, you name it, they came up with it.
