Benavides Update...

So today I am avoiding studying as much as possible so I figured I would update our blog!

Sorry Charlie
1. Lately I have this horrible habit of closing Charlie (our doggie) into random rooms. Ben and I like to keep the doors in our house shut as much as possible so that he doesn't get into trouble, and usually everywhere I go Charlie follows me. So Charlie will follow me into a room, I wont know that he is there, I will leave and turn off the light and shut the door, and the poor puppy will be locked in. Its so sad cause when I finally realize that he isn't following me anymore I find him laying by the door of the room hes stuck in. He doesn't even bark to let me know he's stuck. Sad right? Last night I got all ready for bed and was reading for a while before Ben started wondering where Charlie was, and he found him in the dark closet. :( I feel so bad when I do that! Hopefully this doesn't happen when we have kids. haha.


Trial Number 3
2. So I have this list of things I want to do before I die and one of them is to run a half marathon. Now I didn't decide on a real marathon because I don't think I have the commitment skills for that but maybe some day a half marathon?? I love exercising but I'm not very good at just running. I usually get pretty bored after a while and try something else. So...I am again (for the third time) committing to run a half marathon!! I seriously have to do it! The other times I have tried I only get up to 5 miles and then I decide I want to do something else! (are you seeing the commitment issues??) But I ran yesterday and now I'm really sore. Its funny when you think you are so in shape and then you run outside and it kicks your butt!! So wish me luck...

It's Official!
3. The other day I heard Ben utter the words that made me love him even more! To preface this I will say that since we have been married (a little more than 2 years) I have been in school. I am always super busy and I am always studying or wanting to just relax. Therefore, I haven't always been the chef of his dreams. In fact I usually don't cook anything at all! But for the past month or so I have been trying to cook at least twice a week. (which is good for me) Yet I always feel pressure from certain people that I should be cooking for my husband more often. However, when I was expressing this to Ben the other day he stated, "Babe I love the stuff you cook. You always make good food! I know your busy and I appreciate you." Awwww. So take that you people who judge!

Other than those things there isn't all that much going on!! Ben has been very busy with work and I have been very busy with school/work. The most exciting things we have done lately has been finding time to just be together, and I am so thankful for those times. Ben and I both LOVE music and we are always looking for good jams, so I will close this post with one of our favorites right now! I think its just the beat behind it! ....(good to run to) ENJOY!

I never cooked when I was working before I had Bent. That is the last thing on your mind after you've worked a long day and all you want to do is go home and relax. Don't feel bad.
Your dog is so cute! I love pugs - they are such good dogs. You especially got a good one if he doesn't even bark! Although that might come in handy for you sometimes. My friend accidentally did that to her toddler while she was running on her treadmill - she couldn't hear him crying because she was listening to music! Sad, huh? Talk about truamtizing.

Hi!

I just randomly found your blog and thought i would leave you a comment so that you can show your husband that more than two people read your blog! Don't feel bad... no one really reads mine either lol.

I feel you on the whole cooking for you husband thing. Just do what you can :)

Aw, that Ben's a keeper!

And I'm like you, once I hit 5 miles (or approximately 40 minutes of running, whichever comes first) I. AM. DONE. The boredom sets in and I can't take it anymore! Good luck training for your half marathon!
