Week Recap

I finally got my computer back. For the past few months I have been having problems with my display. They ended up having to replace my graphics card. Luckily, I bought the AppleCare Protection Plan and it didn’t cost me anything. Not having a computer for a week was very weird. There were times that I felt lost and out of touch. However, it was also very refreshing in a way.

So what has been going on the past week? Well last Friday I headed down to my alma mater in Champaign, the University of Illinois, with my Dad, brother Ryan, his girlfriend Jacqui, Katie, and my 2 little bros Jason and Alex. My brother Ryan is a professional triathlete and an elite runner, so they offered him a free hotel room and free registration to the first U of I Marathon / Half Marathon / 5k. He ran the half marathon and ended up taking 2nd place overall and won $400, so that was pretty cool. His girlfriend also is an elite runner and took 4th overall for women. As for me, I finished in the middle of the pack. Considering I haven’t ran more than 3 miles since the marathon last October, I was just glad to finish.

Sunday was Easter and we went to a brunch. Total rip off. $35 a person for some scrambled eggs and french toast sticks. I was actually sick that we wasted that much money on such a crappy meal. Although, I guess the more important thing was that we were with family.

Sunday night Katie and I headed over to my grandparents house so that my grandpa could play us some songs on the piano that we might want in our wedding. He is going to play at the church and also for a little bit at the reception. We gave him some good songs to work on so that was pretty cool to get that checked off the list. Wedding planning can be a pain in the butt…

So yeah, thats about it. I will get back into the routine of posting daily blog posts tomorrow…
