Update From A Mad Runner

So...it's been a while. Let me update you on what has been going on.

After the last post and my freakout of ants, we have not seen a live ant in our house since. We have seen some dead ones on the floor. I'm not quite sure how they got there. B seems to think they just fall out of the wall. I guess ants fall sideways. B said it's cause they don't weigh a thing. Must have missed that in physics.

Two weeks ago Saturday was my 27th birthday. B threw me a HUGE surprise party on Friday. I emphasize HUGE because I didn't know about it... at all. If you don't know B, he can not keep a secret. And with that big event he pulled off I am so surprise I had no idea. It was amazing. We had a blast and I am so thankful for all the friends that were able to come to celebrate with me. I felt so blessed.

The Sunday after I had to go to a training in Cleveland OH for the week for work. It was a good time, we learned a lot and I met some great people in class.

B and I have been laying low since I got back. Last weekend it was so hot out. I don't remember what we did, but I think it existed with us laying in our house in the air conditioning, movies and again in our house. Work has been really busy, and the beginning of the week was really hot and it finally cooled off a bit. Thursday was the start of many college football games. We were able to watch the UND game and the UTAH game at a bar. Both pulled out a big W!

So, with the last few weeks I have neglected my workouts. I am happy to report that I did workout one night when I was in Cleveland. That is honestly a first! I usually don't even pack tennis shoes because I never do anything anyway and then don't feel bad about it. But I did take my shoes with me this last time and actually wore them (even if it was only once).

So not much new...but here is my favorite picture of my nephew!

Ants In Your Pants!!

Ants. They are the only thing I can not stand. I think these little creatures are the most disgusting, nasty little monsters. 

Yesterday while Izzie and I were hanging around at home, she was enjoying a bone on her bed when she decided to join me on the couch. I noticed Izzie had something in her little beard. Upon closer inspection I saw it was a little ant. I had to hold her down to get it out, and barely was able to do so as it was so gross! When Ben got home a few hours later I noticed there was another little ant crawling up on the wall by our stairs. I lost it and Ben told me to calm down. I was searching high and low over by our patio door and Izzie's bed looking for these little parasites. We didn't see anything so I chalked it up to being drug in with Izzie from the morning. 

Then today I noticed these freaking ants in Izzie's little beards again! More than yesterday. Luckily Ben was home and was able to help and picked them out. It took two of us to hold her down! I lost it and of course made Ben search high and low for these ants that had to be in our house. Low and behold there were hundreds of them coming from the wall in our kitchen being drawn in by Izzie's dog food. They had taken over her entire bowl and the rest of the wall! I completely lost it at this point. I attacked all of them with the Raid I had left over from when we were in our rental house and they all immediately froze death, as they should. Ben clean up the corpses, I swept and we then sprayed the entire kitchen down with the Ant Killing Spray I had.
At this time, no more ants....please pray with me to make sure they don't come back!
