Friday Fast Five

Five quick things again:

1. I'm doing a 5k tomorrow morning! I know, I'm excited too :). On a whim this week, I decided maybe I could do a 5k taking place in town tomorrow as a kickoff to our local fair. And Jarrod said he'd walk with me too! So we are both going to enter the 5k. I've never walked 3.1 miles before, and I haven't exactly been training for this, but I'm feeling confident and good about it. 
2. I walked 2 miles Wednesday night with mom, dad, and Josers (Jarrod was busy laying tile) and I did pretty darn good. I did it in 45 minutes too! I'll let you know how the 5k goes! Cheer me on in spirit tomorrow morning around 7-8 am ;)
3. We got 45 extra days on our permit for the basement, but it's not like Jarrod all of a sudden gets a breather, he just officially now has more time. Jarrod is so done with the basement; I don't think it's possible to put into words how tired he is of working on it. And I realize that I can't quite understand it either, because I haven't been the one working away night after night for almost an entire year. He is so stressed out and trying to remember everything and get everything right so it will pass inspection and we can be done with that part. He told me it would be like me needing to crochet every night to churn out shawls at a set rate; once you have to do it all the time, and it's not a leisurely choice, it isn't very enjoyable and deadlines start to weigh on you. 
4. On that note, I am so excited for when the basement will be done too! Mostly because we will finally get to spend time together again. I can't really help with most of what he's been doing, so I'm upstairs while he's downstairs. Heck, we still haven't had any time to go out and celebrate our anniversary and that was two months ago.
5. If summer weather was like this every year, I would have no problem with that. But, I don't think we'll have this mild of a summer again for a while. At the rate we're going, fall will be here before you know it! I also realized that we haven't had many storms this year, so knock on wood that it continues like that.
