Shell & Shane's Life Update

*I got my hair done on 8/2, no blonde ADDED this time around�. Going "natural" for Fall & Winter, I had pics on my cell phone, but I deleted them to make room. I'll post again after my next appointment. I'd take one now, but it is almost 10pm and it is all pulled back in a ponytail and funky lookin!

*We finally got pics of our Step Nephew and Niece (on Shane's side), meet Conner & Addie..

*Shane got his bionic arm OFF on 8/7�.his recovery is still slow and painful, but his is able to run and ride his bike again, so this is very exciting. And, he can almost sleep normal� he has also been given permission to learn how to swim, which was one thing he HAD planned to do this summer.

*We went to see Tim McGraw & Faith Hill on 8/9�.OUTSTANDING concert!! Here are a few pics, not the greatest quality, but it was dark and they were from my cell phone, taken from the 2nd to LAST row!! LOL I was also trying to win CASH from 100.7 The Wolf radio station, so you will see the flashy button & stickers we were wearing... no we did not win

*I listen to a local radio station (100.7 The Wolf) and one day Fitz, Mary, & Tony were talking about Fitz's "Big Black Crocs" I had NO idea what they were talking about�until I listened more�. Check out www.crocs.com for more details (they are the MOST comfortable shoes) and not only did I get a pair, but after Shane tried mine on, we went back that weekend to get HIM a pair too�. We both put them on as soon as we get home from the gym, bike ride, etc�.we have not worn them to work YET, but that day is coming soon!!

*Speaking of Fitz�. I was able to meet him at one of his appearances that was near my office on 8/11. This is one FINE lookin man�. And TALL too!! Lol

*I went "smaller" clothes shoppin again� I NEEDED a few more summer shirts for our trip to the beach at the end of the month for our 4th wedding anniversary (8/31/02), we are heading to Cannon Beach, Oregon on the 31st or the 1st, we check into the Inn on the 1st for 3 nights!! Hope the weather holds for us. Oh, and we both are scheduled for an hour massage while we are there�.. Also look forward to the daily wine & cheese gathering at the Inn. (did I say "cheese"�hehehe)

*We went shoppin on Sat, 8/12 and look at what Shane drove home in�.
Mid-Life Crisis #2 lol It's a 2007 Pontiac Solstace. Have a feeling we will be taking this to the coast (unless we can't fit everything we need in the tiny trunk, as there is no back seat or extra leg room�.lol This is a SSSWWEEEEEETTTTT RIDE!!!

*After BUYING the car...�.Shane & I went for a nice bike ride on Alki Beach (where we live), you can see no bionic arm and the Seattle Space Needle in the background.

*As of 8/14 started taking 30 min Salsa classes at the gym on Monday nights after an hour of kickboxing. I also took an hour Hip Hop class on 8/16 after kickboxing, but I'm not sure if I will take that every Wed or more like every other, it look a lot out of me and I did not get home until almost 9:15pm and still had not had time for dinner so, we will see.

*On 9/10 we are doing "Bank To Bay" 5K Run/Walk www.ontherunevents.com/banktobay
This will be our 3rd year�this is really great because of two reasons, last year they did not TIME the walkers (which would be me) because they did not have enough timing chips, but they ARE this year. And we did not think that Shane would be ALOWED to run due to his arm, so this is great news!!

*On 9/17 I will be at a support group meeting, but Shane will be doing "Kirkland - Sprint Duathlon" (12 mile bike then 5k run) www.racecenter.com/kirklandtri Again this is wonderful news since Shane really thought his summer was over after he hurt his arm.

*On 10/28 we are going to the Eastern Washington University homecoming game at Woodward Field in Cheney, WA. That is Shane's alma mater.

*Now this one is pretty big for both of us�.. since Shane is turning 40 in Nov, he signed up to do University of Washington Medical Center Seattle Half Marathon www.seattlemarathon.org on 11/26 now please note this is 13.1 miles, and the most we have done in the past is Bloomsday www.bloomsday.org which is only 7.25 miles�. And just because I WANT to, I'm gonna do it also, however I'm sure I will be the one crawling over the finish line (starting as a walk, Shane will start and more then likely finish running).

*And last but not least, I just got the dates of where I will be traveling for work in May 2007 for one of two conventions. Shane will also join me, like he does every year all expenses paid. It will either be Denver, CO or Washington DC, so hopefully we can arrange to meet up with a few people while we are there. More details to come as I learn them.

Well, that's all folks�..
