I'm not really into this whole "blogging" thing, but when I started dating Eric, he told me I just HAD to start a blog if we ever got married so I could compete with all his crafty sisters and sisters-in-law. I thought there was no way I would ever actually do it, but I decided it would be a fun thing to surprise him with when we get married. So here I am!! I think I'm going to wait to post about how we met and everything until I can add it into wedding day pictures, so I'm going to start off with our most recent adventure: Ragnar.

For those of you who don't know what this is, here is the description from Ragnar's website: "You and 11 of your craziest friends pile into two vans and tag team run 200(ish) miles, day and night, relay-style. Only one runner hits the road at a time. Each participant runs three times, with each leg ranging between 3-11 miles and varying in difficulty. So, from the elite runner down to the novice jogger, it's the perfect race for anyone."
We had a ton of fun! I ended up running about 20 miles altogether. It was a tiring weekend. Eric hurt his foot pretty bad during his first run, but he stuck with it and still did an amazing job!
At the end of the race there were a whole bunch of post-race festivities. Despite how exhausted we were, we still enjoyed them!
It was a super fun/crazy weekend. We're looking forward to all the craziness to come in the next couple weeks. Pretty soon we'll be Mr. and Mrs. Nelson. Can't wait!
