CONGRATULATIONS TO MY BEST FRIEND SINCE KINDERGARTEN ON HER ENGAGEMENT!
Love you Tara (and Gary)! So happy for you guys and SO EXCITED to get started planning your special day. :) I'm still so emotional!

Celebrated my best friend Allison's 23rd birthday this past weekend, which included the first swim (if you can call it that) in the lake of the season! The water was a boiling 55 degrees... aka: frigid, but we did it! Harvey's Lake is really one of my favorite places in the world... can't wait to spend lots of time there this summer.
After our afternoon dip, we celebrated with hibachi (yum!), cake and drinks! So glad I got to celebrate with you Al - hope you had a good time pretty girl.

SO MUCH TO BLOG ABOUT!

1) Survived my final finals at Ithaca (or at least on the IC campus). I can't believe I have spent a half of a decade in Ithaca... my, time sure does fly! KBYE IC. What a ride it's been...

2) Survived by first half marathon! Ran side by side with my buddy Shane to cross the finish line at 1:58:05, which is 9 minute miles. Not too shabby for our first marathon experience and minimal training (one week, actually... ha!). It was so much fun though - I'm hooked! Can't wait for my next one. :)
Night before the race... surprisingly not biting each other.The final .1 mile stretch! Beautiful strides...
Finish line with Maisy Mouse :)Waiting for our partners to finish the second leg with Momma O'Malley :)WE DID IT! Teams Born to Run and Runnin' with Neighbs! So proud of us.

3) Frolicked around Ithaca for a few days (with absolutely NOTHING to do!) Said goodbye to South Albany Street and headed home. Became obsessed with this song...


4) HOMEHOMEHOMEHOME with Maisy <3. A wish that the weather would clear so summer can begin!

Happy Mother's Day to all Moms out there.

Pretty unbelievable I know, but this marks my 100th blog post! I know this blog has had it's highs and lows - and my faithful followers often doubted if there would ever be another blog post, but alas, ahnutty.blogspot.com is alive and will live to see another 100 posts! Thanks to everyone who has made this blog possible so far. Love you guys.

Yesterday was POWDERPUFF! Although it was freezing cold, windy and wet, team Purple Haze battled through adversity to finish in second place for the third time in four years. Can't seem to get that 'ship - but no worries, there's always next year (yep... us grad students have planned a trip back to Ithaca JUST for this occasion :])

This is the cutest!

The saddest of news - I no longer have an alma mater in the Wyoming Valley; Gate of Heaven elementary and middle schools are closing at the end of this school year. This new closing is to go along with my high school, Bishop O'Reilly which stopped shaping the minds of kids in 2007. It's extremely sad to know that when I go home, I have no place to visit teachers - I'll have no place to show my kids... Things like this make me lose faith in the Catholic church. It's a shame kids won't get the same education I received at both of these fine institutions all because of a little money...
So many memories... May the gator live on <3

Addendum: I sent the link to my brother and this was his reply. I couldn't have said it better myself...

"That's [the closing] really bad. They had a 90% retention rate and they still shut them down. I can't believe that "the large discrepancy between enrollment and capacity" is what he cited as the reason. That's like closing a store in Shavertown with solid sales because it doesn't match the volume of sales with one in New York City. The only difference is that the 'store' he is closing has the memories and lives of thousands of people invested in it. It is really sad. And they wonder why church attendance is down. Maybe its not the employees, maybe its the managers."

Whenever I'm having a bad day, I look at this picture and it makes everything better.
A wish that I had it hanging in my living room...
