Last Friday, I got tickets to the opening night preview of the new dinosaur exhibit at the St. Louis Science Center so my mom and I took the kids. It is an exhibit from China that had never before been seen in the U.S.

Me, Adam and Abby. Last Saturday we had Dawn's baby shower. Little Rocco Flynn Meyer is due in January. It seems like Dawn is really getting excited. The shower turned out great and was fun.
This is Dawn and her friend, Nicole, playing a game where you had to feel around in a bowl of uncooked rice for safety pins. It's harder than it sounds and had people laughing.

Last Sunday, Monday and Tuesday I was in San Diego for a work trip.
This is me having dinner at a cafe on the marina. The weather was so gorgeous. I ran along the marina Monday and Tuesday morning and it was so gorgeous. Except for the homeless people. That was a little disconcerting but I suppose if I was homeless I would move to San Diego, too.

The marina. This is where I ran. My hotel is one of the tall buildings straight ahead.
Sunday night, the conference held a dinner party on the deck of the U.S.S. Midway, a navy aircraft carrier that was used from World War II throgh the Gulf War. It was super cool.
This is the entrance to a popular district in San Diego called the Gas Lamp Quarter, which has lots of bars, restaurants and shops. The girl I was traveling with, Carrie, and I had lunch here and did a little shopping.
This Saturday, Seth and I went to a surprise engagement party for our good friend Brian who got engaged recently. This is Brian and Kat. Brian's parents threw a wonderful party and it was a lot of fun.
Tonight, Abby went to church with our neighbor, Hannah, and her mom. I thought she looked so cute and of course, she had to pose.

I know I haven't talked about it in a while, but I'm still running and it's been going really well. I ran my first 10K a couple weeks ago in 1:04:29 - that's 6.2 miles! My record for the 5K is 29:41. I'm running another 5K next Sunday with Jennifer and Sydney and I are running one on Dec. 6. I hope I can stick with it through the winter.
Not too much going on this week. Abby has PSR on Wednesday but nothing else going on all week. Hope everyone is well and having a great fall.
