Welcome back to another edition of Friday Favorites with Allen, where I take a look at some of the awesome things in my world!
- 10 Year Anniversary Present: As you may know, last Friday was our 10 year anniversary. While Rachel and I have a huge two week trip planned for late August/early September, we still wanted to get each other a little something. Rachel ended up getting me a gift from etsy, which I absolutely loved. It uses old license plates to “spell out” our anniversary date. The traditional 10 year anniversary gift is tin or aluminum, so this was a cool gift on multiple levels. She specifically requested Alabama and Georgia be included, as those are the two states in which we’ve lived together. Check it out below…
- runDisney New Balance Shoes: Every year since 2013, runDisney and New Balance team up to release a character or ride themed running shoe. Last year, they released the Dumbo Vazee Pace, which is a neutral running shoe. I tried them on at the expo last year and really liked them, but ultimately decided to pass on them. Lucky for me, they ended up at the New Balance Outlet a few weeks ago at a significant price reduction. We ended up heading to the outlets so I could pick up a pair for myself. I really like them!
- Hillbilly Elegy: One of my February goals is to read 2 new books. I picked up my first book last night at Barnes and Noble…Hillbilly Elegy. I’ve been hearing great things about this book, so I’m excited to read it.
- 13.1 Mile Training Run: Rachel ended up taking off today from work. I typically take Fridays off since I work on Sundays, so we decided to go for a long run. Rachel hadn’t been able to get in her half marathon run since the January WDW Half Marathon was cancelled, so she suggested we run 13.1 today. I am always up for running with the wife. We had a great run this morning and she was able to knock out her 13.1 miles. I was so proud of her! Only 3 more weeks till we run the Princess Half Marathon at Disney in late February. Rachel has wanted to run this one for several years now!
LOVE the car tag gift! Allen, you will definitely enjoy reading Hillbilly Elegy and, Rachel, you rock for running your 13.1!! ❤❤
