song of the day: 'the distance' by cake
tomorrow, the fam is packing up and driving to branson, missouri. after 18 weeks of training, matt's half-ironman is sunday morning. and boy is he ready to get it over with! he's expecting it to take him around 6 hours to complete the course. for those of you unfamiliar with the distance, it's a 1.2 mile swim, 56 mile bike, and 13.1 mile run. pretty intense. i am very happy to be on the sideline, cheering and not participating. but i'm super proud of him for all the hard work he's put into his training. it's not been easy, lots of double workouts and stuff, but it's all going to pay off come sunday afternoon when it's done and he can feel the pride of accomplishment. so i wear my 'beards are sexy' shirt today in honor of my amazing husband. because he has one and he is :)

Aw, what a lovely way to show support for your hubs! I hope his half-ironman goes well, it sounds epic! I ran a half marathon a few months ago and that was exausting in itself. I can't imagine adding a bike ride and a swim to that as well!
wow, that sounds INTENSE! good luck and travel safely!!!
This skirt is awesome! Such a great color on you.
The third shot is so very nice.
Have a safe trip! Good luck to your man!Love the tee!
Ack! You are so cute. All I've ever wanted is your exact haircut. Adorable. My hair is so fine and straight it would just never work, but I may try anyway. LOVE your outfit. Love everything.
love ur skirt xx
oh no, i never heard of that organization you told me about! I have heard of many many many that I've researched over the past few years because I check news and organizations out pretty much every day or at least every other day. Thanks so much for the links. I'll look into that. and thanks for the comment too. That's great you know someone who works for that organization. I know someone who works for http://restorenyc.org in NYC (20 minutes from where I live) I really appreciate it. They are about to get their first safehouse up.
Good luck to your husband! What a great accomplishment that will be. It makes me tired just thinking about it!
I love this color pallet, it's so pretty!
ah!!! Amanda! I LOVE this. You are so dressing right up my alley lately! Not literally mind you, that would be strange, and exhibitionist, and unlikely.
Oh, beautiful beautiful outfit and beautiful beautiful you.
love.

Good luck to your husband! I can't even begin to imagine the discipline it would take to do what he's doing. (I can't even run a mile. It's sad really.) And you, by the way, look great. I love the tee + pretty feminine skirt. It totally works!
