MIami

Good morning! I can't believe it's been five days since I posted! Where does the time go!?!

I meant to write on Sunday about the great "meet and greet" party that Melissa had for our American Odyssey relay team. Six of the 12 runners were there, and I think that's a great showing! I met a few people from the other van (Have I explained this? There are 12 of us on the team, two vans of six each. I know all but one person in my van.), and we talked about logistics and overall excitement.

Props to Mike for attending and watching the Final Four games in the background while we all talked running!

The work week has just flown by, except for the crazy traffic in the evenings. It's recess, people! Why is it taking me 50 minutes to drive .25 miles through the 9th street tunnel!!

And that brings me to today. Miami day! Not sure I've talked about this much, but Mike and I are joining three other couples in Miami tonight. This is the same group that we went to Vegas with a few years ago. Mike and the guys go to Vegas each year, but so far the girls have only gone once. We traveled to Nashville together in September for one of the couple's weddings, and the group (minus Mike and I) went to Tahoe over the inauguration.

It's one of the girl's birthdays today, and a big one -- 30! I think she's probably the last of the group to turn 30, and I can certainly support a big party for the day! So we're flying out this afternoon, and return on Monday.

Just don't bother yourself with the fact that it'll be over Easter weekend. And that we'll be in South Beach for Easter. I'm sure there are churches in South Beach, right?
