The Great Urban Race...

Tomorrow, Allison and I are once again competing in the Great Urban Race up in Minneapolis. This race was all new last year when Allison and I competed, and we did alright (52nd out of 162 teams)...so, know that we know not to lug around a huge backpack with a computer since the whole race is running, I think we are much more prepared. We are planning to just take the bare essentials: camera, phone, money, pen and paper.
Here is the post from last year's race along with the clues from last year: http://brandonandkristen.blogspot.com/2008/09/results-are-in.html I am really looking forward to seeing Allison, who lives up in the Cities, and since the weather is supposed to be nice, it will be a great day! Allison's husband, Jared, will be Allison's "phone a friend" to help us with the clues while Cassi is going to be my "phone a friend"...thanks so much for the help! Wish us luck...Hopefully, our little bit of running training will help!

In other news, Brandon had the day off today which was nice. He finished painting our coffee table black, put a peep hole in our front door and vaccummed the entire house...I am so blessed to have such a great husband. Then tonight, we went out to eat at Green Mill, got ice cream at Dairy Queen and went and saw Transformers (Brandon's choice!). It was so much fun to have a date night!

Brandon - Stop making the rest of us look bad. You need to do more golfing and less vacuuming!
