May 2021

The biggest thing in May was Aaron doing his triathlon! We had to drive up there on Friday evening to get his race packet and materials and an orientation on the course.

Then Saturday morning we drove up to Lake Anna for the race! We got there by 6am to give Aaron plenty of time to get settled. This is him taking in the swim portion!

Addy came down to help me cheer him on. It was super nice to have her there! We had a ton of fun chasing him down on the the Bike and run a few times.

Aaron was always smiling and looking like it was easy when we saw him!

Waiting to hop in for the swim in the morning! It was pretty chilly but Aaron said it was warm in the water so it worked out great!

He did incredible and completed the race in less than 6 hours! His original goal was in less than 7 hours with a stretch goal of under 6 once he started training and he nailed it! The race is 1.2 mile swim, 56 mile bike, and 13.1 mile run!

Afterwards we celebrated with Aarons meal of choice. We tried out a new mexican place and it was amazing! Aaron's meal was the huge burrito :)

Aaron was then on a two week break from school so he went to visit Mike in Austin, TX. He had a ton of fun cruising with Mike!

They even got to go visit Dana and her family!

While Aaron was gone, I worked on the baby room. The biggest project was staining our bed.

It was quite the process and took several coats of stain and several coats of the sealer which was a pain but worth it! Also super grateful to have a deck to do this project on!

The bed looks much better this color! I put up the pictures and even cross stitched a new saying for that white frame on her shelf.

When we got the crib Aaron did some sanding to remove some wording printed on it. Cheap IKEA crib did us good :) Also, check out our view!

Relaxing at our apartment building deck!

We set up our hammock on the deck which was fun with the view!

Our apartment had a pizza night with live music which was fun and delicious!

We set up our stoller and practiced cruising it around!

Aaron had a few days off after going to visit Mike and it was fun to have him home for breakfast and hanging out during the day!

We got a new to us couch from Nextdoor for our deck and we love it! We are so excited to have it!

We met Addy and Cody one Saturday. We tried to go to the beach but it was private so we were not allowed. We ended up going to a state park and going on a hike and then playing games and hanging out together for a few hours.

The belly was another big part of May :)

Addy and Cody came down one weekend and we went kayaking on the James! We kayaked out to a little island where the boys played on a rope swim and kayaked around! It was so fun.

Beach day on Friday when I got off early and Aaron didn't have to go to school!

We had a super fun date night! We went to Shawarma Bistro and it was incredible! We were the only ones eating outside and it was a rainy night so not very many people were out so we felt like we had the place to ourselves!

We both loved our meals! We stayed there for a while just chatting and enjoying the time! It was one of our best date nights ever!

We have had fun working our at our apartment gym together every morning!

May was a great month and our last month just us two! So crazy! Can't wait for baby month!
