My Apparently Annual Christmas Party

So the past couple of years I have had a Christmas party when I get into Phoenix so I can see all my friends at once (since I usually have limited time to visit before heading down to see my folks) so, this year, my friend Kristi volunteered to host my party. Thanks Kristi!

Okay, last snow post

Warning: I am from Arizona. I live in Houston. Snow is a BIG deal for me (so all you Northerners and Easterners can keep your condescending comments to yourselves...that includes asymmetrical snowman comments).

So, it's snowing in Houston right now and I MADE A SNOWMAN!!!! Wait! Actually, I made TWO!!! WAHOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

Christmas Party

My friend Erin hosted a great Christmas party on Friday. I have never seen so many people crammed into one house before! And her decorations were beautiful...unfortunately all my shots of the decorations were blurry...bad operator :)



I love the set up!

And the results are...

For those of you have been on pins and needles, wanting to know what in the world is going on with my calf muscle, your wait is over. Blah.

I had an MRI done on my leg the other day and it revealed that what they thought was a torn muscle was probably just some massive spasming due to a stress fracture in my tibia, which is why my leg was still hurting so much. Yeah.

So, at least 3 more weeks until I can even think of starting to run again. And a few more PT session to help speed along the process as much as possible.

I am still hoping to do the half-marathon in January. I may not be able to run the whole thing, but I will be able to finish and that is now my goal.
