This past weekend was the Crazylegs event here in town. Boone and a few of his co-workers, along with our buddy Matt, ran the 8K race and Mom, Dave, and I walked the 2K route. It was cold and windy, but the movement and crowds kept us warm (over 17,000 people ran). It was really fun to walk into Camp Randall and to hear the bands play, and the free beer and fruit was nice after the walk. Matt had a pretty good running time (he is a career runner though) and Boone got to run with his office mates. We also got to spend the weekend with Mom & Dave, and Aunt Nancy & Tom.
It’s been 1 year since we bought and moved into our condo and what a year it has been. We never thought owning a condo would take up so much of our thoughts, time, and money. We also never thought owning a condo would be so different from owning a house, both good and bad. We’ve enjoyed fixing it up and most of what we have done are little things: paint, new lights, a dishwasher, and various decorations and furnishings.
We are anxious for spring and summer to come so we can start more projects, but a lot of what is left to do is bigger so we will have to wait until after our wedding run in July. We are trying to make smart home improvements, ones that will increase the value of our home while still allowing us to be able to make the money back when we sell. It’s a tough condo market in Madison right now, but we are researching things carefully before jumping into it (those who know us best are saying, duh!).
For those of you who haven’t been to our place, here are a few pictures so you can see what we are up to.
