FINALLY - Dave took his test this past weekend!! After many months of diligent studying, he was finally able to download all the information in his head onto the test form. :) It will take up to 3 months for us to get results, but Dave feels pretty confident that he did enough to pass, so we'll just keep our fingers crossed. He's very excited to get back to some normalcy with working out and getting back in touch with his friends. (Hopefully no one has taken offense to his silence for the last 6 months). Ethan and I are very proud of him and happy to get more quality time with him now. We spent all Sunday together playing at the house, outside with our new sidewalk chalk and then went to dinner in the evening. Now, Dave just has to decide whether he's going ot keep going and take the PE test this October or wait until next April and enjoy the summer months. I guess there are pros and cons to both scenarios, but we'll support whatever decision he makes.
I actually ran in my 3rd 5K on Sunday. I know, I'm crazy with 2 weeks in a row, but I'm trying to knock these out before it gets scorching hot out. I was very thankful that there was no rain during the actual race. It managed to pour down about 5 minutes before we started and I was a bit nervous, but literally no rain during the race. I beat my time by another 15 seconds and managed to again, get 1st in my age group (got 8th for females and 33rd/143 overall). Guess I can't complain too much considering I don't train for these runs..I usually just run casually during the week with some friends at work during lunch.
No pictures from this weekend really. Saturday Ethan and I were busy since Dave was gone all day. We went grocery shopping, to the bank and to swim class in the morning, and then went to visit Grandpa Rochford Saturday evening to help him celebrate getting his 6th degree black belt. Luckily, Dave was done with his test and was able to meet up with us in the evening for dinner.
Happy Birthday to Dave this coming weekend...he's looking forward to getting out and socializing with some friends! :)

Rock on! I didn't even know there was another exam, but then again, he'll likely nail that one too, since he doesn't need to remember stuff from all over the place, just his major area of focus as an ME. As for the running, I know that feeling, you just go for a while, and get a ton of improvement. Some time we'll have to see how far we can go before things stabilize. Clearly Mom's genes are strong ones!
