It seems that March was busy for everyone. And it’s time I played a little catch up with some snapshots as a overview…

Late February/early March I spent in San Francisco for work. I spent two weeks leading a workshop and soaking up the beauty of the city I used to call home. I got to see a lot of my brother (but took no photos!) and Lindsey (again, no photos by me, but she caught this one on her iPhone)…

One morning I took a walk to the shore and around the beautiful Palace of Fine Arts. I took some photos with my real camera, but frankly the ones I took from my iPhone are much better…

My husband’s birthday fell on a Thursday while I was in SF, so he came to spend the weekend with me. This was awesome because we could properly celebrate together. The night he arrived I greeted him with cupcakes…

YUM!

Here he is enjoying his card and gift…

Nothing like new, lightweight running shorts for a super-duper marathon guy, right?

While we were in SF, we got to see R’s sister and our niece, who is such a rambunctious sweetie. She has such a personality – I adore her…

After I returned to LA, I got to cheer R on in the LA Marathon, his fourth. We woke up early so I could take R and Scott to Dodger stadium for the start line. Here they are, ready to go at 5:15am. I think their excitement might be a little forced??

It was pouring rain; heavy – which of course isn’t typical for LA. Not as many people were out on the streets to watch this year as in year’s past, but there was no way I was going to miss seeing my guy run by, so I took my umbrella (and my parents, who came to join me) down to Mile 12-13 and waited…

As always, when he ran by, I ran out and ran with him for a short distance, which is when I found out he was loving the rain and feeling good!

Despite the rain showers, thunder and cold conditions, R ran the race in his best time yet – 3:23:14! I love marathon day and always feel so proud…

And now here we are, already in April! I have been working so much over the past month, that this less-busy month has arrived not a moment too soon!!

The holiday parties have begun! Last night we went to two parties at the companies where R works. One was Mad Men themed, so we had fun dressing for it. I wore my mom’s dress from 1961 and R wore his suit with his skinny black tie from our wedding.

At the first party, which wasn’t themed, a gal came up to us and said, “You guys look so great – like you’re on Mad Men!”. We looked at each other and laughed. Little did she know that’s exactly what we had in mind!

Here we are together…

R was sporting his slicked to the side hair and a serious ad agency creative director face. I was wearing my pearls and a strong, eager, faithful wife smile.

Here’s my hubby…

I think he’s handsome, especially in a suit, despite the shoddy iPhone camera photo.

And here’s me…

This dress required some super posture and a ladylike strut so I didn’t rip any seams.

Fun!
