catching up.

So we've been gone. A lot.
1st stop: Boise.

• PG and I conquered the drive alone. We stayed at Molls and Andy's the first night, and family the rest of the time. Except for my child getting Roseola, and the drive that = hell (I guess I've been through worse) it was an awesome time. Much love to B-town.

2nd stop: san fran.

• D had a project to do with his bro Jared that lives in San Fran. It was a last minute gig, and sis in law Michelle found a fantastic last minute fare, so PG and I were able to go. (I think she invented the internet, or at the very least helped Al Gore.....). While the boys worked, Michelle and I had each other during what would have been a single parent weekend. It was awesome.
  
  
  Cousins at the Academy of Sciences.

If you look closely. One is without a shirt, and the other without pants. It was that kind of a day.

3rd stop: northern UT

• We spent Labor Day with D's family. We ate fantastic food, and I convinced everyone to run the "Wellsville 10k fun run". Wellsville, you lie. This was anything but fun. It was a terrible, horrible, no good very bad day, kind of run. One where you just aren't feeling it. But I finished, and only wanted to die about 12 times. I can safely say that no Doughty has run that distance in at least 3 generations. Am I right? To quote my dad "Wait, you're running how long? Why? You should be swimming it....." D was awesome, and stayed with me the whole time AND D's sisters had very impressive finish times. Next Labor Day, I vote for sleeping in and pancakes.
  
  After the race was a parade to celebrate me finishing. PG hates fake gun shots......
