Week-in-Review September 17, 2017

Nala gets snuggly when cold!

Some cool weather hit this week. Temps. have been in the mid 50s and low 60s. I've pulled out all of my warm sweatshirts. Most of my Halloween decor is out. Fall is in the air. Even my kitties have been extra snuggly, since I refuse to turn the heat on when I know in two days the AC will be back on! Even my husband put on an extra blanket last night due to the biting cold.

Before the race

I also participated in the Dirty Dash. An obstacle course with lots of mud pits and getting really dirty. It was my first time doing something like this and I actually had a lot of fun despite the bitter cold in the morning. We even splurged and bought warm showers to wash off all the goo at the end of the race!

After the race. We look so happy!
