Almost time for the marathon!

It's pretty crazy. If you had told me back in 1999 that I'd be running a marathon in 2009, I would not have believed you. But here I am, training for it. The most I've run has been 22. INSANE!

I'll be completing the 26.2 miles (hopefully!) on October 11, less than two weeks away! I'll be running a slow and steady pace (12 min/miles) (and, really, I'll be walking too - we run 5 min, walk 1 min and so on...). I'm running with a mentoring program. It's pretty neat to run this with at-risk high school students. The program is run through the MGR Foundation.

I made a footprint!

you can too! http://footprint.chicagomarathon.com/ A few hours after you make it, it's available on the site, then you can upload it here too, if you'd like. You can select different charities that Bank of America will donate to when you make your footprint (I suggest the MGR Foundation).

This is me and my friend Shannon after our half-marathon in August.

I'll keep you updated!

Tony's 60!

This is Betty!! Or was it Bessie? Or Charlotte? Babe? I don't know either way she was TAS-TEE! It took her roughly 5 hours too cook.



There were also the twins. Two rump roasts that we cooked on the grill while Betty roasted on the spit. They were just as tasty.

OOH! And fresh veggies! And dips and Hummus!

Even Joey and Penny J wanted to grill. They were sharing very well.

WHOA!!!


We even had games! There was dress up

And sidewalk chalk


Bocce Ball

And the greatest game of all...FLIP CUP!


It was such a great party! I can't wait for the next one! Wait a second...That would be Kelly's wedding!! SWEET!

Amy and College in the same sentence?

Hi everyone! I'm just letting you know that I am not just Amy Scolaro anymore. I am now Amy Scolaro: College Student! Yeppers, I enrolled in college! I am going to Stautzenberger College in Brecksville to become a Vet Tech (an RN for animals). I start on October 5th and I am going to go full time...which is not that bad considering full time is 3 days a week! SWEEET! I'm so excited and I cannot wait to go!

P.S.- Did I mention that I get a laptop included in my tuition???

Amy's New Project!

Monday and Tuesday this week, I painted my bedroom. It went from a dull, boring, beige color to...

Costa Rica Blue!!!

I love these kinda projects. If you need help painting, just call me!

Boonieville!

Ok...so I know I'm about a month late with this but Adam and I went to NC to visit his grandmother. We went to the city of Boone which is literally on the outside of a mountain. Trees are EVERYWHERE! Here are just some of the highlights:
This is a tunnel we went through that was in between west virginia to virginia.

No joke, as soon as we pulled in the driveway, Adam saw the ATV's and jumped on one. Yep, Amy learned how to drive one too. A little scary, I know.

Adam's Uncle Jimmy took us to a memorial site for the veterans of Watauga County. It's Grampa!!!!!

Look at that dimply face!!!

We had so much fun! I can't wait to go back!

28 years young...

I had a great birthday. Got lots of calls, cards, texts, emails, etc. It was great. My work even had a cake and balloons for me. Then Trent got me this cake:

Delicious! It was a really fantastic day. I missed my Musil clan, though.

Love you!
