We're mega happy. Actually I don't think I've ever had black pudding, I just meant that breakfast is my favorite meal and always has been. I tried haggis last year at the Celtic Festival and it was AWFUL. And this is coming from someone who will eat anything. I hope to see you again too when you come back!

(the grey one that looked like a leggo). congrats on your engagement (sorry i'm a month late)! i had a laugh when looking at the photo of your fave meal; i'm pretty sure there was some black pudding on that plate. have you ever had the pleasure of eating that scottish delicacy? i have to admit, the thought of it makes me nauseated. but lots of people here love it, and say a "full scottish fry-up" (big breakfast) is incomplete without it. hope to see you next time we're in rva! hi tess! i’ve just been catching up on your blog and have thoroughly enjoyed getting reacquainted with what’s happening in your life! it was funny to think way back to those days of girls bible study in leah’s apt.

I can only hope his designs involve tartan. So I get text updates from style.com (I know) and I think I yelped when I got the one about Alexander McQueen at Target.

Thank you. I feel like if I don't fight though, my pace slows to a crawl. So just maintaining my pace on those hills is tough. But I'm just not used to it, that's all. Aha! Thank you.

If you fight the hills, they will fight you back. ;) -B A trick to hilly routes (I ran cross country for Blacksburg High, the land of hills)–don’t change your pace or the intensity of your breathing to overcome the hill.
