Happy Monday things

So many things are making me happy this Monday:
- Gina and I planned out a March get-together! Yay! And it’s in KC so we’ll see Steven’s family, and my snis and Will and baby William!
- I just signed myself and FIVE family members up for a 5K in my hometown in April. And since it’s in Iowa, it was only $109 TOTAL to sign up six people. New goal 5K?
- Steven’s brother said he’s in for RAGBRAI Day 7 this year! He finally gave in after three years of asking, woot woot! My dad, Will, and Gina have all confirmed they’re in too.
- The sun was out for my run today! I forgot what’s that like. It was in the low 20s, but the sun and low winds made it feel awesome to be outside.
- I got to pet a pony during my run! And the neighbor (who I just met for the first time today) the pony belonged to said I was welcome over anytime to ride her horses or exercise her pony.
In conclusion, planning time with friends and family, nature, and animals (all still) make me happy.

Yay for a happy day! That RAGBRAI ride is going to be epic this year – and how fun to have everyone doing the 5K together in April, too. 🙂
Yes! I am super stoked my BiL Andrew finally wants to do it! He’s a lot of fun!
And I am excited so many family members want to do the 5K!
I loved running in the sun today! But I didn’t get to pet a pony 🙁
Your family 5k sounds fun! I loved running a 5k in my hometown last year and am excited to do it again in April.
LOL! Come run with me! Maybe luck will strike twice?
Yeah! There’s something special about running there since I wasn’t a runner when I lived there. I see the city with a new perspective.
Good times! Is Iowa less expensive for races?
In my experience, yes! But I am used to seeing some Chicago prices.
Wow, it’s awesome that the 5K is so reasonably priced! I’m glad you had so many little things to brighten your day. Actually, I’m glad you were perceptive enough to be happy about these things. I think we could all use that kind of mindset these days!
I hope most people are still able to find a few joyful things in their day! It’s probably easier if you stay off social media (LOL, not referring to you, just thinking of all the posts I am seeing about social media making people miserable).
Um, a pony???? You live in a magical place.
